Your building's exterior is more than just a wall—it's its first impression. At COLORIA GROUP, we've spent decades crafting exterior cladding solutions that blend beauty, durability, and innovation. Let's explore how our MCM materials can transform your project, with a step-by-step guide to installing our popular MCM Big Slab boards.
When you're looking for exterior wall cladding, you need a partner who understands both aesthetics and engineering. That's where we come in. As a one-stop solution provider with global reach (yes, we even have a dedicated team in Saudi Arabia!), we specialize in Modified Cementitious Material (MCM)—a game-changing blend of strength, flexibility, and sustainability.
Our secret? Decades of industry experience and a obsession with two things: customization (because no two buildings are the same) and green building (because the planet deserves better than wasteful materials). Whether you're working on a luxury villa or a commercial high-rise, we've got the materials to make your vision stick—literally and figuratively.
Not all cladding materials are created equal. Our MCM lineup stands out for a reason—let's dive into the ones our clients rave about most.
Imagine covering a large wall with fewer seams, faster installation, and a seamless look. That's the magic of our MCM Big Slab Board Series. These extra-large panels (we're talking up to 3m in length!) cut down on labor time and create a sleek, modern finish that architects adore.
Perfect for: Commercial buildings, modern homes, or any project where clean lines matter. Think of it as the "wide-screen TV" of cladding—more visual impact, less distraction from tiny gaps.
Curved walls, archways, or irregular surfaces used to be a headache for cladding installers. Not anymore. Our MCM Flexible Stone is exactly what it sounds like: stone-like beauty with the flexibility of a rubber mat. It bends, wraps, and conforms to any shape without cracking—yes, even around columns or circular facades.
We've seen it used everywhere from boutique hotels with organic architecture to heritage buildings needing a gentle update. And because it's so lightweight, it's ideal for retrofits where adding heavy materials isn't an option.
Want your building to stand out? Our 3D Printing Series turns impossible designs into reality. Using cutting-edge 3D printing tech, we can create custom textures and shapes—like our popular Wave Panel , which mimics the flow of water across your exterior. It's not just cladding; it's public art.
Architects love this series for feature walls or statement buildings. Imagine a corporate headquarters with a facade that looks like it's rippling in the wind—that's the power of 3D-printed MCM. And the best part? It's just as durable as our standard panels, so beauty doesn't mean sacrificing longevity.
Ready to get your hands dirty? Installing our MCM Big Slab boards is straightforward with the right prep. Below is a simple guide—perfect for contractors and DIY-savvy project managers alike.
| Step | What You'll Need | Pro Tips |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Prep the Wall: Start with a Clean Slate | Level, wire brush, repair mortar, tape measure | Check for cracks or uneven spots! MCM slabs need a flat surface—fill gaps with mortar and let dry 24hrs. Pro move: Mark stud locations if installing on wood frames. |
| 2. Measure & Cut: Precision is Key | Circular saw with diamond blade, straightedge, pencil | Our slabs come in standard sizes, but always measure twice! For corners or windows, use a jigsaw for curved cuts. Wear safety goggles—those dust particles are tiny but tricky. |
| 3. Apply Adhesive: Stick with the Right Stuff | Polymer-modified adhesive, notched trowel, spacers | Use a 10mm notched trowel for full coverage. Apply adhesive to the BACK of the slab (not the wall!) for better control. Leave 2mm gaps between slabs for expansion—spacers are your friend here. |
| 4. Secure & Set: Press Firmly, Then Walk Away | Rubber mallet, level, painter's tape | Gently tap the slab with a rubber mallet to ensure adhesion—no hammering! Use a level to check for tilting. If needed, hold slabs in place with painter's tape overnight while the adhesive cures. |
| 5. Finish Strong: Grout & Clean | Grout (matching your slab color), sponge, bucket | Mix grout to a toothpaste consistency. Apply with a float, then wipe excess with a damp sponge. Avoid harsh cleaners—warm water works best for MCM surfaces. |
Pro Note: For high-rise projects or extreme weather areas, add mechanical fasteners (like stainless steel clips) for extra security. Our tech team can share custom details for your location!
Traditional stone can weigh 20-30kg per sqm—MCM? Just 8-12kg. That means less stress on your building's structure and lower shipping costs. Win-win.
Our MCM is made from recycled materials and is 100% recyclable. No toxic resins, no wasteful quarrying—just good for the planet, good for your green building certifications.
Want a Wave Panel in Starry Green Travertine ? Or a 3D-printed logo embedded in your facade? We've done it all. Your design, our materials—no limits.
Rain, snow, UV rays—MCM laughs at them all. No sealing required, just an occasional hose-down. Perfect for busy property managers who hate constant upkeep.
Love the Big Slab? Wait till you meet the rest of the gang. Here are two more MCM stars our clients can't get enough of:
Ever tried to clad a rounded dome or a spiral staircase with traditional stone? Spoiler: It's a nightmare. Our MCM Flexible Stone solves that. Thin, lightweight, and bendable (it can curve up to 30 degrees!), it wraps around complex surfaces like a second skin.
We've seen it used on everything from boutique hotel lobbies to heritage building restorations. One client even used it to clad a wine cellar's curved walls—now that's thinking outside the box (or the cylinder).
Why settle for flat walls when you can have texture that tells a story? Our 3D Printing Series uses cutting-edge tech to create custom patterns—like our Wave Panel , which mimics ocean swells, or geometric designs that catch the light at different angles.
Architects love it for feature walls: Imagine a corporate office with a facade that looks like it's in motion, or a resort entrance with 3D-printed stone that feels like walking through a natural canyon. The only limit is your imagination (and maybe your budget—though we're pretty competitive on that front too).
At COLORIA, we don't just sell cladding—we build partnerships. Whether you need help choosing the right MCM series, want samples of our Starry Green Travertine , or need a custom installation plan, our team is here to help.
From big slabs to flexible stone, 3D prints to classic textures—we've got the materials to make your building stand out for all the right reasons. After all, great architecture deserves great cladding.
