Laying patterns

Chequerboard

Two colours or two materials alternating like a chessboard. The classic black and white marble entrance.

In short

  • Two alternating colours
  • A classic reference
  • Identical thickness required

When to choose it

Entrances, kitchens, classic black and white marble.

Points to watch

Both materials must have the same thickness and behaviour, otherwise lippage.

How we do it

Calibre checks before laying.

Straight lay

Tiles are aligned in rows and columns, with continuous joints in both directions. It is the calmest pattern, and the most demanding for the eye.

Marble

A metamorphic rock of limestone origin, with spectacular veining.

Diagonal lay

Tiles are laid at 45 degrees to the walls. It makes a room feel larger and breaks up a narrow space.
