Daltile Stone Attache - Dignitary - Governor Black - 12 X 24 DR11RCT1224MT
Governor Black presents a deep charcoal field with lighter mineral markings in the Daltile Stone Attache Dignitary collection. Fossil-like markings, fine veining, and random tonal changes reproduce the layered character of French limestone without making every tile look identical. The 12 x 24 format is made from ColorBody porcelain and has a matte surface.
The nominal 12 x 24 tile measures approximately 11-5/8 x 23-3/8 inches and is 5/16 inch thick. Its V4 random shade variation is a major part of the design, so the finished floor or wall will show noticeable differences from piece to piece. Review actual material before installation and blend tile from several cartons to distribute color and graphics naturally.
Stone Look, Format, and Performance

Installation, Placement, and Care
The matte surface is the most flexible finish in the line for interior floors, walls, backsplashes, and countertops. Daltile also lists matte tile for level wet interior floors when the specified DCOF requirements and installation conditions are satisfied. The rectangular format works in stacked or offset layouts; when using a staggered brick pattern, Daltile states that overlap should not exceed 33 percent.
Daltile recommends latex-modified thin-set. The substrate must be properly prepared, flat, clean, and suitable for porcelain tile. Because this tile is longer than 15 inches, large-format installation guidance should be followed. Avoid ramps, and evaluate wet, oily, greasy, or poorly drained locations carefully because those conditions can increase slip risk.
For routine care, remove loose soil and clean with products approved for porcelain tile. Governor Black DR11RCT1224MT is a strong fit for buyers who want a varied limestone visual; it is not the best choice for anyone expecting uniform color from tile to tile.
