Product story

A Chequerboard That Holds Its Nerve

Black squares turned on the diagonal against Dover White, the Dorchester chequerboard arrives by the square metre from Hyperion Tiles, your official Original Style stockist.

Dover White is not a brilliant white. It carries a faint warmth that keeps the contrast with Black from turning clinical, and that warmth is exactly why the pairing has survived a century and a half of hallways. Laid on the diagonal, the two colours pull the eye along a corridor rather than across it.

Because both colours are vitrified through the body of the tile rather than printed on a glaze, the chequerboard reads the same on day one and in year twenty. Rated for exterior use as much as interior, the 9mm tile lets one scheme start at the front gate and finish at the foot of the stairs.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Setting Out: Dry-lay a bay from the centre line of the corridor so the cut squares fall evenly against both walls, and check the diagonal before any adhesive is mixed.
  • Adhesive & Grout: A flexible cement-based fixative over a sound, level base, and mid-grey grout so the joint does not read as a third colour against the Black.
  • Sealing & Cleaning: These tiles are unglazed, so they do want sealing once laid and the grout fully cured. Afterwards a pH-neutral floor soap is all the routine they need.
