The appearance of natural stone. Mineral-based composition. New possibilities for façade and interior design.
PHOMI eCovering is a thin mineral-based cladding material produced using MCM technology. MCM (Modified Clay Material) is a mineral-based composite that combines realistic surface textures with low weight and flexibility.
PHOMI offers an extensive selection of designs and finishes, making it possible to find a surface that complements your building’s architecture and the appearance you want to achieve. The range includes brick, travertine, natural stone and concrete textures, as well as distinctive decorative finishes. When renovating a façade or creating a new exterior, you can follow your own design vision without being limited to the conventional finishes of a single cladding material.
To assess the colour and surface texture accurately, we recommend viewing physical material samples.
A grey travertine-effect finish featuring an irregular, porous stone texture. Ideal for creating understated architectural surfaces.
Panel dimensions: 1200 × 600 mm. Coverage per panel: 0.72 m². Full pack: 16 panels / 11.52 m².
Your enquiry will include the full product name, availability status and required quantity.
PHOMI eCovering uses MCM technology to transform natural mineral raw materials into a lightweight, flexible composite. The result is a thin decorative facing that can reproduce a variety of natural stone and architectural surface textures.
This type of mineral-based cladding offers an alternative to conventional stone veneer and heavy masonry finishes. It can be used in new construction and renovation projects, provided that the substrate and installation system meet the relevant project requirements.
PHOMI is a decorative wall cladding material suited to both large surfaces and architectural details. Its mineral-based textures can be used as a complete finish or combined with other façade and interior materials.
Decorative exterior cladding for houses, apartment buildings and commercial properties. Suitable for creating complete façade finishes or distinctive architectural accent areas.
A decorative finish for entrances, columns, wall features and plinths where a suitable installation system is provided. Plinth applications require particular attention to moisture exposure and substrate conditions.
Decorative wall finishes for residential interiors, offices, hotels, reception areas and commercial spaces. Mineral-based textures create a convincing stone appearance without the weight of traditional stone cladding.
An option for updating existing buildings, including projects where a traditional brick façade appearance is desired. PHOMI brick-effect finishes can help retain a building’s architectural character without adding the weight of conventional brick cladding.

PHOMI panels are bonded to a properly prepared substrate using a suitable adhesive mortar. Because the thin panels follow the shape of the underlying surface, substrate flatness, strength and proper adhesive contact are particularly important.
Check that the substrate is sound, level and sufficiently dry. Remove dust and contamination, and apply a suitable primer where required.
Apply the adhesive evenly to the substrate and comb it through with a suitably sized notched trowel. We recommend Ceresit CM16 for interior walls and Ceresit CM17 for exterior façades.
Position each panel and press it firmly into the adhesive across its entire surface. Check alignment and ensure adequate contact with the substrate.
Finish corners, openings and joints in accordance with the installation system. Remove excess adhesive before it hardens.
Installation instructions and technical documentation for project planning and correct application.
MCM stands for Modified Clay Material. It is a mineral-based composite made by processing clay and other mineral raw materials. PHOMI uses this technology to manufacture lightweight, thin and flexible decorative surface finishes.
No. PHOMI is not natural stone cut from a quarry. It is a mineral-based composite cladding material designed to reproduce the appearance and texture of natural stone and other decorative surfaces.
Yes, provided that the reinforced base coat and adhesive mortar form part of a suitable installation system. Compatibility must be verified before installation.
Yes. PHOMI is suitable for decorative interior walls in residential, office and commercial environments. The substrate must meet the relevant installation requirements.
The stocked range includes 4.0 Pro Rome Travertine Andes Grey and Andes Yellow, together with 4.0 Polish Concrete Stone Fog, Ink-Dyed and Medium Grey. Current availability is confirmed when preparing a quotation.
PHOMI may be suitable for refurbishing the façades of timber-frame and log buildings, provided that a stable, compatible substrate is installed. The panels must not be bonded directly to timber cladding or exposed logs. For log buildings, the design must also account for settlement and movement caused by changes in timber moisture content. The supporting structure and façade system should be selected to suit the existing building.
The stocked 1200 × 600 mm panels are supplied in packs of 16, covering a total area of 11.52 m² per pack. Packaging details for upcoming finishes will be confirmed separately.
