Bold & Graphic: Livingstone Nero 30x30cm

Create a classic chequerboard floor with the Livingstone Nero 30x30cm marble-effect tile from Hyperion Tiles.

Livingstone Nero brings the deep, inky drama of black marble, its pale veining threading through a rich, near-black ground. Set against its Blanco partner it delivers the timeless monochrome chequerboard; used on its own it grounds a room with real depth and confidence.

Crafted in Italy from glazed porcelain, Livingstone offers the beauty of natural stone with none of the sealing or upkeep. Rectified for crisp, narrow grout joints and rated R10 underfoot, it is frostproof and hardwearing enough for internal walls and floors as well as sheltered external walls.

The Hyperion Family Promise

  • Design Continuity - Livingstone is supplied in Blanco and Nero, so you can lay a true monochrome chequerboard from a single, perfectly matched range.
  • Premium Durability - Italian glazed porcelain that is frostproof, water-resistant and rectified for precise, seamless joints.
  • Order a Sample - See the depth of colour and matt finish in your own light before you commit. Samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.
  • Dedicated Delivery - We arrange safe, secure delivery for your renovation, with free UK delivery on orders over £1,000.
  • Personalised Project Support - Our family-run team is on hand to help you calculate quantities (11.11 tiles per m², sold by the pack of 14 covering 1.26m²) and plan your chequerboard layout.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible adhesive and grout suitable for porcelain. A mid-grey grout softens the join between Nero and Blanco without muddying the contrast.
  • Layout Options: Alternate Nero with Livingstone Blanco for a classic chequerboard, set on the diagonal for a grander, more traditional hallway, or lay Nero alone for a dark, dramatic floor.
  • Cleaning: Sweep and clean with warm water and a mild floor cleaner. The matt glazed surface needs no sealing and resists everyday wear beautifully.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate how many Livingstone Nero 30x30cm tiles I need?

Livingstone Nero is sold by the pack, with each pack containing 14 tiles and covering 1.26m² (11.11 tiles per m²). Measure your total area in square metres, add 10% for cuts and natural wastage, then divide by 1.26 and round up to find the number of packs. For a chequerboard you will need roughly half your total area in Nero and half in Blanco. Our friendly team is always happy to check your quantities on 01344 620211.

Where can I use Livingstone Nero?

Livingstone Nero is a frostproof Italian glazed porcelain suitable for internal walls and floors, as well as external walls. It is a natural fit for hallways, kitchens, bathrooms and boot rooms, and is compatible with underfloor heating. As porcelain rather than natural marble, it needs no sealing and shrugs off moisture and everyday wear.

What is the finish and slip rating of Livingstone?

Livingstone has a natural matt finish with soft marble veining, and its rectified edges allow for narrow, precise grout joints. It carries a slip rating of R10 (PTV Shod +36), giving dependable underfoot grip suitable for hallways, kitchens and bathrooms. The matt glazed surface requires no sealing.

Can I order a sample of Livingstone Nero?

Yes. We offer a free 15 x 15cm cut sample so you can see the depth of colour and matt finish in your own light before you commit. Samples are free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge.
