Marca Corona Scultorea Dark Diamond Chevron 3"x18"

Description

Marca Corona Scultorea Dark Diamond Chevron 3″x18″ — Premium Porcelain Chevron Tile from Italy

The Marca Corona Scultorea Dark Diamond Chevron 3×18 is an Italian marble-look porcelain tile featuring a deep black ground with sharp, crystalline white veining. Manufactured by Marca Corona in Sassuolo, this chevron format is part of the celebrated Scultorea collection — a porcelain tribute to Carrara marble and the Apuan Alps, engineered for the durability of glazed porcelain and the visual depth of natural stone.

About the Scultorea Collection

Scultorea is Marca Corona’s flagship marble-effect porcelain stoneware collection, drawing inspiration from the white marbles that Michelangelo himself sourced from the Apuan Alps. The collection spans large-format slabs up to 120×278 cm down to intimate chevron, hexagon, and brick formats, allowing designers to specify a single material story across floors, walls, and architectural details. Dark Diamond delivers an inky black ground broken by bright, almost crystalline white veining — Marca Corona’s reinterpretation of dramatic marbles like Nero Marquina and Black Diamond. The palette reads bold and architectural, ideal for statement walls, fireplace surrounds, and high-contrast bathroom designs. Within the Scultorea palette, Dark Diamond pairs especially well with matte brass, polished nickel, smoked oak, and pale plaster walls.

Installation & Applications for Dark Diamond Chevron 3×18

The 3″x18″ (7.5×45 cm) chevron format is supplied as left- and right-cut pieces designed to lock together into a continuous, directional V-pattern. Because the angles are factory-cut and the edges are rectified, installers achieve a tight, uniform pattern with minimal field cutting — significantly faster than mitering a rectangular tile on site. Recommended applications include feature walls, shower walls, fireplace surrounds, headboard walls, and ceiling installations. The chevron pattern works beautifully both horizontally and vertically; vertical orientation is increasingly popular in narrow powder rooms and showers to add visual height.
