Daltile Stone Attache - Haut Monde - Empire Black - 2 x 2 - Brick Joint Mosaic Tile - Matte
Rather than a flat field, Empire Black shows deep charcoal and black with fine mineral movement across a restrained sandstone pattern. The surface remains dark and substantial without reading as a flat solid.
Mesh-mounted pieces create a detailed grid that coordinates with larger Haut Monde tile. This 2 x 2 product uses the color as a deep-contrast matte neutral. Expect V3 shade movement across the finished field.

Use and Installation Considerations
This mosaic is the series option listed for residential or light commercial shower floors and pool linings. Use a 1/8-inch joint and latex-modified thin-set. Align sheets carefully, embed the mesh fully, and keep excess mortar out of the 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 format combines coordinating detail for wet areas and accents with a dark sandstone look on durable porcelain. Approve several physical pieces before installation.
