Dramatic Heritage: Fired Earth Chequers Court Black

Establish a floor of undeniable grandeur with Fired Earth Chequers Court Black Marble—a luxurious natural stone that brings the sophisticated drama of a country estate into your home.

Part of the prestigious Fired Earth Chequers Court collection, this tile is the definitive choice for creating classic monochrome floors. Sized at a traditional 30.5cm x 30.5cm (12 inch) square, it features a deep, charcoal-black background struck through with authentic white calcite veining. While stunning on its own as a dramatic bathroom floor, it is most iconic when paired with Chequers Court White to create the timeless chequerboard pattern seen in historic hallways and grand entrances across the country.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing is Mandatory: As a natural marble product, these tiles are porous. You must seal them before and after grouting with a high-quality impregnator (e.g., Lithofin MN Stain Stop) to prevent staining.
  • Natural Variation: Marble is a product of nature. Expect extreme variation in veining. Some tiles may have heavy white veins, others may be nearly solid black. Shuffle tiles from multiple boxes for a balanced look.
  • Adhesive: Always use a white flexible adhesive (e.g., Keraquick White) to prevent staining or shadowing from the back of the tile.
  • Cleaning: Avoid acidic cleaners (like vinegar or bleach) which will etch the marble surface. Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What grout colour should I use?

For a seamless look that hides the joints, we recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 114 Anthracite or 120 Nero Black.

If you are laying a black and white chequerboard, a neutral Mapei Ultracolour Plus 113 Cement Grey is the best compromise to frame both the black and white tiles without staining the white stone.

Is this real marble?

Yes, this is 100% natural marble. It is not a ceramic or porcelain imitation. As such, it feels cool to the touch and has a unique, luxurious depth that only natural stone can provide.

Is it suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. Natural marble is an excellent thermal conductor. It absorbs heat from the underfloor system and radiates it efficiently into the room, making it lovely to walk on in bare feet.

Can I use this on walls?

Absolutely. While designed as a durable floor tile, it looks stunning as a feature wall, splashback, or shower wall in a bathroom.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. Natural marble is porous and susceptible to staining from spills (like red wine or coffee) if left unsealed. We recommend sealing upon installation and periodically thereafter to keep it looking pristine.
