Daltile Diplomacy Tile
$114.56
Unit price $11.81 per ft2Diplomacy captures the cool, refined character of quarried Belgian bluestone in a colorbody porcelain built for everyday life — the color runs through the body of the tile, not just the surface. Three graduated greys, from a soft Light Grey to a deep Dark Grey, bring understated stone elegance to kitchens, baths, entryways, and open living spaces with none of the sealing or upkeep of natural stone.
Features
- Belgian bluestone look, colorbody porcelain — high-definition visuals recreate honed bluestone, with color that runs through the tile body.
- Three graduated greys — Light Grey, Medium Grey, and Dark Grey let you set a soft or dramatic tone.
- Large-format sizes — 12"×24", 24"×24", and 24"×48" mean fewer grout lines and a more expansive, continuous stone look.
- V2 medium shade variation — subtle, natural tile-to-tile movement for an authentic honed-stone result.
- Impervious & low maintenance — under 0.5% water absorption; dense porcelain resists staining and wear, and never needs sealing.
- Rated for wet floors — DCOF ≥ 0.42 wet, suitable for interior residential floors and walls.
