These traditional Checkerboard tiles bring a classic two-tone pattern to Irish floors, and Royale Stones stocks 31 designs in porcelain, limestone, and ceramic as part of our wider floor tiles collection.
You'll find ready-made check pairings like Lusso Carrara + Nero, Naples Light and Dark, and the Savoy & Riviera limestone range, plus single-colour tiles you can mix yourself for a custom look.
What Our Checkered Tile Features
- Everyday Practicality: A checkerboard bathroom floor takes daily foot traffic in stride, needing only a regular sweep and mop to stay looking sharp.
- Underfloor Heating: Most of the tiles in this collection are compatible with underfloor heating.
- Cleaning and Care: Dark tiles show dust, light tiles show scuffs, so a checkerboard floor actually masks day-to-day scuffs and stains better than a single flat colour.
Available In Quality Materials & Finishes
-
Porcelain makes up most of the range. It's tough, low-porosity and easy to wipe down, making it the practical choice for busy kitchens and family bathrooms.
-
Limestone (the Savoy, Riviera and Naples checks) gives real stone texture and natural colour variation. Still, it's a softer, porous material that needs sealing and a bit more upkeep than porcelain.
-
Marble-effect porcelain (our Lusso and Brera lines) gives you the marble look, veining included, without the sealing or staining worries of the real thing.
-
Ceramic (Madeira Black) is a lighter-duty, budget-friendly option best kept to lower-traffic spots.

Note: Most of the collection has a matt finish. For bathrooms and other areas where slip resistance matters, check the individual product specification for its relevant rating before ordering |
Where They Fit Best
Most of our chequered floor tile ranges suit bathroom and kitchen floors alike for a period-home feel, and one design can run from an entryway straight through to a wet room.
If you're planning a full bathroom refit, our wider bathroom tiles range has matching wall options too.
Offers Flexible Sizes & Layout
Choose from smaller formats (200 × 200mm) or larger formats (up to 450 × 450mm) to create different checkerboard looks. Smaller tiles give you more pattern repeats for a more traditional feel, while larger tiles create fewer, bigger squares for a cleaner, more contemporary look.
Laid straight, the grid stays clean and works well in narrow galley kitchens. Laid on the diagonal, the same tiles can make a tight room feel wider, since the eye follows the pattern corner to corner.
Comes In Contrasting Tones
Our black-and-white checkerboard tiles deliver the strongest visual impact and anchor a period hallway or a bold modern kitchen, pairing naturally with chrome brassware, freestanding baths and classic subway wall tiles.
For something calmer, grey-and-white checkerboard tiles soften the contrast and hide footmarks better, making them a good choice for a smaller room, and they sit well alongside flat-front vanity units and matte black fittings.
Brown and white checkerboard tiles lean warmer and earthier than a monochrome floor, suiting a country kitchen or farmhouse-style hallway with timber worktops and brass hardware.
In contrast, red and white brings a bolder, retro edge that works best as a feature in a utility room or period conservatory, paired with simple white sanitaryware and black trim.
