Louisville Tile, one of America’s largest and longest-tenured distributors of ceramic tile and related products, announces the launch of the Checkmate series, an exclusive addition to its Wilcox Fifty Five house brand. This high-performance line of colorbody porcelain tile offers a modern, yet timeless, solution for the surging popularity of checkerboard flooring.
The Checkmate series is designed to satisfy the growing demand for checkerboard tile with a premium, hard-to-find 12×12-inch format. Developed after recognizing a gap in the marketplace, Checkmate offers a durable, high-quality porcelain option with advanced technology that beautifully mimics the sophisticated look of natural stone. While the checkerboard pattern is currently trending, it remains a classic design that effortlessly elevates any space.
“We saw a clear opportunity to bring a high-quality, readily available product to market for one of the hottest design trends,” said Catherine Buehre, Vice President of Brand Operations for Louisville Tile. “Checkmate by Wilcox Fifty Five is our definitive answer. We’re offering designers and homeowners endless design possibilities with five stunning colors and two finishes to mix and match in the classic 12×12-inch format, allowing them to create a dramatic, performance-driven floor that makes the ultimate statement—a true checkmate for any interior space.”
The Wilcox Fifty Five Checkmate series stands out in the market not only for its exclusive design but also its robust features. This colorbody porcelain is offered in five striking shades and available in both matte and polished finishes, providing two distinct formats for maximum design flexibility. In a commitment to swift service and quality, the product is both manufactured and stocked in the USA, ensuring reliable supply for both residential and commercial projects.
