Why you’ll love our Victorian-style chequered floor tiles

If you’re a lifelong fan of the abounding elegance of Victorian interior design, you probably don’t need much convincing when it comes to our chequered floor tiles. Sceptics, on the other hand, are sure to become converts when they learn a little more about the benefits of installing these tiles on floors or fireplaces:

• Timeless style: the illustrious Victorian era of interior design brought with it abundant patterns and a bold use of colour, and these features have seen a major revival in recent years - with 21st-century homeowners seeking to recreate the quintessential Victorian aesthetic. So, when you bring the classic chequerboard effect to your home’s floors, you’re investing in a time-honoured interior design mainstay
• Stand-out design: even besides their Victorian-era connections, chequered floor tiles are instantly eye-catching thanks to their dramatic alternating use of colour and distinctive geometric pattern. Whichever colour palette speaks to you, our chequerboard tiles will bring immediate impact to your flooring or fireplace hearth
• Durability: our chequered quarry tiles are made from hard-wearing natural clay - a material renowned for its toughness and longevity. When you install these chequerboard tiles in your home, you can bank on enjoying them for over half a century as long as they’re well looked after in the long term
• Heat and water resistance: fired at high temperatures and famously used on fireplace hearths, quarry tiles are, naturally, resistant to heat. Better yet, though, they’re also waterproof - making them an ideal tiling material for kitchen and bathroom sink splashbacks, as well as flooring in moisture-prone areas of the house
• Anti-slip finish: if you do intend on installing these chequerboard tiles on your kitchen or bathroom floors, you can rest assured you’re investing in a safe, non-slip flooring solution. Bring a stylish new focal point to your space without sacrificing safety by choosing our anti-slip chequered quarry tiles
