🧱 Facade Stones – Strength, Style and Lasting Value
When you choose a stone to clad your facade, you're defining the character of the whole building. At Vetonek we offer the best options in natural stone and stone products for exterior facades: masonry, flagstone cladding, opus incertum and projected aggregate.
Each format has its own personality and style, but they all have something in common: they are strong, elegant and built to last a lifetime.
🟤 Why choose facade stone from Vetonek?

Frequently asked questions
What types of facade stone are in the collection?
The collection brings together natural stone and reconstituted stone cladding. In natural stone there is sandstone and sawn-stone masonry, sandstone slabs and flagstone pieces such as the Marrón Bronce quartzite one or the slate one. In reconstituted stone there are thin tiles and claddings with the look of aged stone, travertine, slate, stacked stone strips, brick or wood, as well as corner pieces, mouldings and decorative pieces. For continuous facades there is also projected aggregate and monocoat mortar.
What is the difference between natural stone and reconstituted stone?
Natural stone, such as the Mampostería de Arenisca Duna Olite Dorado, is made up of irregular quarry pieces whose size, shape and tone vary from one to the next, with thicknesses of 10 to 22 cm according to its data sheet. Reconstituted stone comes as tiles of concrete water-repellent throughout the mass, 2 to 2.5 cm thick in models such as Corella, Marcilla or Tafalla, fixed to the substrate with tile adhesive. The choice depends on the look you want and on what the substrate can take, which the project technician should assess.
How is reconstituted stone cladding installed?
The data sheets for models such as Corella or Marcilla specify flexible C2T adhesive with double-buttering on a sound substrate; for Corella, clean, solid and plumb, mixing pieces from several boxes to spread out variations in tone. Corner pieces are placed first, alternating heights. If you have doubts about the substrate or the weight it can take, consult the project technician.
What are corner pieces, mouldings and cornices for?
Corner pieces wrap arrises, pillars and reveals with the same stone finish and without mitre cuts; the Esquina Revestimiento Corella, for example, comes in heights of 20, 30 and 40 cm. Mouldings, such as the Moldura Corella (straight, angles, sills and curves with radii from 0.25 to 7.90 m), solve surrounds for doors, windows and arches, and cornices, such as the toothed Cornisa Hervías in White, Cream and Salmon, finish eaves and facade lines. The collection also includes keystones, corbels, plinths, appliqués and lintels.
What are flagstone (planchoncillo) and projected aggregate?
Planchoncillo (opus incertum) is flat, irregular natural stone slabs; the data sheet for the Planchoncillo Marrón Bronce, a natural quartzite, covers it both for paving and for cladding walls and facades. Projected aggregate is natural stone gravel, such as marble or ophite, graded by particle size to be projected onto monocoat mortar, which according to its data sheet is applied directly onto the substrate.
