What kind of tile is White and Black 4" Checkered Matte?

We stock White and Black 4" Checkered Matte as porcelain in a checkerboard shape, 4"x4". It reads white-cool. Fired denser than ordinary ceramic, porcelain has near-zero water absorption, which is why it also goes on floors and wet walls. A kitchen backsplash is only thirty to forty square feet, so the material barely moves a budget.

The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.

8 pieces per sheet

It arrives as mesh-backed sheets of 8 pieces rather than loose tile, which is what keeps a mosaic this size straight on the wall. Cuts happen at the sheet edge, so the layout is worth planning around outlets before anything is set.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off White and Black 4&quot; Checkered Matte itself, not from its name.

Read off its own swatch, White and Black 4" Checkered Matte measures #15100D: very dark, essentially neutral. We match that to Black / Charcoal Stone and build the pairings from there. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Cabinets

Pure White — tuxedo scheme; hides counter mess that white counters broadcast. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
Natural / White Oak — black leathered stone gives oak an edge. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid

Questions about White and Black 4" Checkered Matte

Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.

What size is White and Black 4" Checkered Matte?

White and Black 4" Checkered Matte comes in one size, 4"x4". One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.

Where can I use White and Black 4" Checkered Matte?

Its maker rates it for flooring · wall, and not for countertops. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.

What color is White and Black 4" Checkered Matte, really?

We measured its own swatch at #15100D — very dark and essentially neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.

What is White and Black 4" Checkered Matte made of?

White and Black 4" Checkered Matte is a porcelain tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.
