About the Scultorea Delicata Collection

Marca Corona’s Scultorea Delicata is a contemporary, minimalist collection that reinterprets the world’s most refined marbles — Calacatta Velato, Travertino Bianco, Taj Mahal, and more — in large-format glazed porcelain stoneware. Available in three finishes (Reflex, Velvet, and Naturale) and sizes up to 120×278 cm, the collection brings visual continuity, vein depth, and tactile sophistication to residential and contract projects. Manufactured in Sassuolo, Italy by Ceramiche Marca Corona — a company producing ceramics since 1741.

Installation & Applications for Marca Corona Scultorea Delicata Calacatta Velato 24″x48″ Matte

The 24″x48″ (60×120 cm) rectified format minimizes grout lines and creates expansive, continuous surfaces — ideal for open floor plans, feature walls, and shower surrounds. Recommended for residential floors and walls throughout the home — including kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, and entryways — as well as light commercial applications such as hospitality, retail, and office environments. Slip resistance and matte texture make this finish a strong choice for bathroom floors. The tile is rated PEI 4 and frost-resistant, making it suitable for covered exterior walls and interior areas with temperature variation. For installation, follow TCNA guidelines for large-format porcelain: use a high-quality medium-bed mortar, maintain a minimum 1/3 offset (not 50%), and back-butter every tile to ensure full mortar coverage.
