CHECKERBOARD FLOORING FINISHES
Now let’s look at a couple of finishes or sheens that you might want to consider when you are thinking about the look you want on a checkerboard floor.
MATTE FINISH
In this case, you would look for honed marble or stone and make sure any sealer you apply is also in a matte finish.
glossy finish
A glossy finish on your checkerboard floor can be very striking, especially if you have a space that is very glamorous. In this case, you would look for polished tiles and use a sealer with a glossy finish.
