The rectangular format puts far fewer grout joints on the floor than the matching Empire mosaic, which keeps the calm, cement-like surface from looking busy. Shaw lists a break strength of 412 lbf or more and a glaze hardness of 8, while its high (V3) shade variation stops a big floor from looking printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kitchen floors, open living and dining areas, bathroom floors and walls, hallways, laundry rooms, shower walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCream 00100:\u003c\/strong\u003e a warm off-white with faint, low-contrast clouding that brightens a room without the starkness of pure white.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurf 00500:\u003c\/strong\u003e a pale, cool gray with the even, quiet character of smooth troweled concrete, well suited to modern and minimalist rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Empire 12x24\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11.8\" x 23.62\" rectangle with fewer grout lines than small squares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreak strength of 412 lbf or more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 0.42 or higher for wet CoF in kitchens and baths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMohs glaze hardness rating of 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh (V3) shade variation for natural movement tile to tile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.335\" thick, packed 19.38 sq ft to the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShaw rates Empire 12x24 for floors, so it handles indoor floors and walls equally well: kitchens, dining and living areas, bathrooms, hallways, laundry rooms and finished basements, plus shower and tub walls. It has no frost rating, so plan it for indoor rooms only. In running bond, shifting each row by a third of the tile or less helps control lippage; start from a flat, well-prepared subfloor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Shaw Empire tile concrete-look or stone-look?\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaw Empire sits between the two: its glazed surface has soft, low-contrast mottling that reads like smooth concrete in Surf 00500 and like a pale, quiet stone in Cream 00100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill Empire 12x24 tiles vary in color?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, somewhat. Empire 12x24 carries a high (V3) shade variation rating, so expect visible tone shifts between tiles; pull from several boxes as you set them so the variation spreads evenly across the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 12x24 ceramic tile good for a small bathroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. A 12x24 tile such as Shaw Empire can make a small bathroom feel larger because there are fewer grout lines, and its wet CoF of 0.42 or higher suits a bath floor. Plan the layout so you avoid thin slivers at the walls and around the toilet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Empire mosaic used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/shaw-empire-mosaic-ceramic-tile-cs99q\"\u003eEmpire Mosaic\u003c\/a\u003e (CS99Q) is a 12.99\" sheet in the same Cream and Surf colors, sold as an accent tile for walls. It pairs with an Empire 12x24 floor as a shower wall feature, niche back or backsplash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat grout goes with Empire Surf and Cream?\u003c\/strong\u003e For Shaw Empire Surf 00500, a light gray grout keeps the floor reading as one smooth, concrete-like surface; for Empire Cream 00100, use a warm off-white or bone grout. Keep the joint narrow so the large 12x24 faces stay the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Empire 12x24 #CS75Q\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaw Floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLook:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft stone \/ concrete look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.8\" x 23.62\" (nominal 12\" x 24\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.335\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth (stone texture)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade Variation:\u003c\/strong\u003e High (V3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet DCOF:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥ 0.42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreak Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥ 412 lbf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze Hardness (Mohs):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floors and walls, interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSq.
