Daltile Stone Attache - Haut Monde - Empire Black - 12 x 12 - Matte
The Empire Black colorway is built around deep charcoal and black with fine mineral movement. Its matte sandstone visual is dark and substantial without reading as a flat solid.
The compact square creates a familiar grid suited to smaller or divided areas. The scale combines a manageable square grid with a deep-contrast matte neutral. Plan with multiple pieces visible so V3 variation is distributed intentionally.

Planning the Layout and Final Placement
Check substrate flatness, mortar coverage, and joint alignment before setting. Use a 1/8-inch joint and latex-modified thin-set, with full mortar coverage and clean joints. Confirm drainage, moisture, traffic, slip-resistance, and intended-use requirements for the jobsite before work begins. Review final application conditions, layout direction, and grout planning with the installer before materials are ordered.
The product brings together a manageable square grid and a dark sandstone look on durable porcelain. Dry-layout pieces to judge the V3 variation.
