Urbión Cladding - Lightweight, Waterproof Facing for Walls
Aplacado Urbión: lightweight, waterproof cladding in earth tones
Cladding a façade with traditional natural stone is heavy, expensive and often means reinforcing the substrate before you even start. The Aplacado Urbión solves the problem with a slab that is only 1.5 cm thick, waterproof and smooth-finished, and can be fitted to any sound wall without compromising its structure.
✅ Main advantages
Truly lightweight: 1.5 cm thickness lets you clad without structural reinforcement or building up the wall.
Waterproof: stops water from penetrating the wall face and keeps the cladding looking good outdoors.
Smooth finish: a continuous, understated surface, very different from rustic stone patterns and ideal for contemporary builds.
Earth tones: two finishes, Pirineos and Natural, that age well and never tire the eye.
Large format: 59 × 30 cm visible face, fewer joints per square metre and faster installation.
Indoor and outdoor: the same piece for a façade, a garden wall or a living room wall.
🏗️ Recommended applications
House façades and exterior plinths
Boundary walls and garden fences
Living room, entrance hall and corridor walls
Commercial premises and walkways
Low walls on porches, terraces and pool areas
Façade refurbishment where weight is a constraint

🧰 Installation
Check that the substrate is flat, sound and clean: with large, smooth pieces, any bulge in the wall is immediately noticeable.
Set out the first course with a laser level and start on a well-levelled support batten or profile.
Apply exterior tile adhesive with a notched trowel and use double-buttering: also spread a thin layer on the back of the slab.
Fit from the bottom up with spacers to keep the joint consistent, and tap with a rubber mallet until the piece is properly seated.
Grout with exterior grout once the adhesive has set, and clean with a damp sponge before it hardens.
Respect the expansion joints of the substrate and seal the junctions with window and door frames using flexible sealant.
📦 Available formats

💡 Professional tip: with large formats and a smooth finish, the enemy is the substrate, not the piece. Run a 2 m straightedge over the wall before you start: if you find more than 5 mm of deviation, level it with repair mortar instead of trying to correct it with more adhesive, because excess adhesive dries at different rates and ends up showing through the joint and even causing the slab to come loose.
