With a design echoing the grandeur of 19th century France and the look and feel of natural marble,

Empire combines tradition with technology to offer an elegant, virtually maintenance-free solution

for floors, countertops, and walls.

Each color in the series was painstakingly created to give the appearance of natural stone using a blend

of complementary shades and tones. The moderate color variation from tile to tile mirrors that which is

found in nature, with just enough range to create visual interest.

A variety of sizes, from mosaics to large format tiles, and polished and unpolished finishes add

to Empire’s versatility, and its performance is legendary. Because it is Porcelain Stone ®, it has

unsurpassed durability, resists staining and scratching and will remain beautiful for years to come.
