Marca Corona Scultorea Foam Grey 2"x10"

Description

Marca Corona Scultorea Foam Grey 2″x10″ — Premium Porcelain Subway Tile from Italy

The Marca Corona Scultorea Foam Grey 2×10 is an Italian marble-look porcelain tile featuring a soft, foam-toned grey with delicate stone-like veining. Manufactured by Marca Corona in Sassuolo, this rectangle (brick / listello) 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. Foam Grey is Marca Corona’s soft, mid-tone grey interpretation of crystalline marble, with subtle ivory and charcoal veining drifting across a powdery ground. The color reads quiet and contemporary — a versatile neutral that works in spa-inspired bathrooms, modern kitchens, and transitional commercial interiors. Within the Scultorea palette, Foam Grey pairs especially well with oak cabinetry, brushed nickel, white oak floors, and warm whites.

Installation & Applications for Foam Grey 2×10

The 2.5″ x 9.5″ (6×24 cm) brick / listello format gives Scultorea a subway-style proportion at a slightly elongated, more modern scale than a traditional 3×12. The rectified edges support tight grout joints (1.5–2 mm typical) and a wide range of patterns — running bond, stack bond, vertical stack, and herringbone all work well. Recommended applications include kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower surrounds, powder room accents, and laundry / mudroom walls. The size and rectified edges also make this a strong candidate for a herringbone pattern when paired with a complementary Scultorea hexagon floor.
