A Guide For Fuego Checkerboard Tile
Fuego Checkerboard tiles are 9x9 inch matte porcelain tiles made for two-color checkerboard layouts in patios, pool surrounds, bathroom floors, entryways, and other wet-area spaces where slip resistance matters. The series uses warm, Mediterranean-inspired tones across five pairings: Blanco/Antic, Blanco/Teja, Blanco/Natural, Antic/Teja, and Natural/Teja.
Blanco is an off-white shade, Antic is a warm stone tone, Teja is a terracotta red, and Natural is a sand beige. Antic, Teja, and Natural carry R11 anti-slip ratings, while Blanco is the coordinating non-R11 color used in the lighter contrast pairings. All Fuego tiles have a water absorption rate below 0.5% and a breaking strength above 35N/mm². For wet outdoor areas where both colors receive regular foot traffic, choose Antic/Teja or Natural/Teja, since both colors in those combinations are R11-rated.
About Fuego Checkerboard Tiles
Blanco and Antic pairs off-white with warm stone for the most neutral look in the series. This combination suits bathroom floors, entryways, kitchen floors, and spaces where a softer checkerboard pattern is preferred. Antic carries an R11 anti-slip rating, while Blanco provides the lighter coordinating contrast.
Blanco and Teja pairs off-white with terracotta red for the highest-contrast Blanco combination. It works well in Mediterranean-inspired kitchens, bathroom floors, entryways, patios, and covered outdoor settings. Teja carries an R11 anti-slip rating, while Blanco adds a clean off-white contrast.
Blanco and Natural pairs off-white with sand beige for the softest contrast in the collection. The result is a tonal checkerboard pattern that reads more like surface texture than bold geometry, making it a strong option for contemporary interiors and softer outdoor designs. Natural carries an R11 anti-slip rating, while Blanco keeps the layout light.
Antic and Teja pairs warm stone with terracotta red. Both colors are R11-rated, making this one of the strongest Fuego options for outdoor patios, pool surrounds, covered walkways, and wet-area floors where both colors receive regular foot traffic.
Natural and Teja pairs sand beige with terracotta red. Both colors are R11-rated, creating a warm earth-toned checkerboard suited to patios, covered outdoor dining areas, pool surrounds, and al fresco kitchen floors.
