Crossville, TN – Crossville® has enhanced its popular Empire Porcelain Stone® line, which echoes the grandeur of 19th-century France with the look and feel of natural marble. Empire now boasts 20% SCS-certified recycled content, has an updated color palette (including a stunning new Alabaster white), and is offered in a range of sizes and shapes, from newly designed mosaics to 21' x 21' large format to popular plank shapes. A choice of polished and unpolished finishes increases Empire’s versatility.
