Marquina Black and Statuario Superiore 12x12

Checkerboard

Combining Tile America's Marmi and Majestic collections offers a refined approach to the traditional checkerboard layout, blending classical depth with warm, stone-inspired undertones. By pairing the high-contrast drama of the Marmi series—such as deep Marquina Black or crisp Statuario—with the softer, Taj Mahal marble-inspired warm veining of the Majestic line in shades like Cotton, Pearl, or Caramel, this pairing transforms standard high-contrast geometric floor patterns into a multi-dimensional aesthetic.

This curated collection features tiles specifically selected to work beautifully together, sharing the same manufacturing process to ensure consistent sizing, thickness, and a flawless checkerboard installation.
