Featured Surfaces — Kolkata

Four surfaces.
Nothing else feels like them.

Four of our most distinctive materials in one place — two flexible clay skins that wrap curves no rigid panel will take, real stone split to a hair's thickness, and an imported African-motif laminate that rolls instead of cracking. Samples, rates and installation across Kolkata and eastern India.

Flexible Clay Cladding — bent around a column

01 — The Range

Four materials,
four different problems solved.

Each of these earns its place for a reason a standard panel can't match — a curve, a real-stone face at a fraction of the weight, or a design nobody else carries. Comes with a physical sample before you commit.

Flexible Clay Cladding

A 3 mm mineral clay sheet reinforced on glass-fibre mesh — carries the depth and cool touch of fired clay at a fraction of the weight, so it goes over existing plaster, board, ply or masonry with adhesive alone. Bends to a 20 mm radius, so it wraps a column, a curve or a soffit without a cut line. Twenty-four textures across five earth colourways.

  • Thickness 3 mm (±0.3)
  • Weight ≈ 4 kg/m²
  • Textures 24, in 5 colourways
  • Fire rating Class A2

Stone Veneer Real stone veneer texture close-up Stone veneer on a living room wall Stone veneer on a dark feature wall

Stone Veneer

Quarried stone split to 2–3 mm and bonded to a glass-fibre backing — the face is 100% natural stone, every sheet unique, but it weighs a fraction of tile, bends to an 8 inch radius and cuts with tin snips. Fixes to concrete, wood, ply, MDF, tile and metal — walls, fireplaces, columns, furniture and floors. Fifty-nine faces across six series, plus decor prints and 3D cement tiles.

  • Thickness 2–3 mm
  • Weight ≈ 2.2 kg/m²
  • Faces 59, across 6 series
  • Sheet sizes 4 formats

Ubuntu Laminates

A 1.5 mm bendable, rollable interior surface — imported Scandinavian spandex over a high-performance PVC backer, printed with seventeen African textile and rock-art motifs. Bends 90° without heat, ships and stores as a roll rather than crated panels, and is water and scratch resistant.

  • Thickness 1.5 mm
  • Sheet size 8′ × 4′
  • Designs 17 motifs
  • Supply Rolled

Flexi Clay

A modified-clay surface — natural stone powder blended with clay, moulded, baked and irradiation cross-linked into a decorative sheet 3–5 mm thin that bends where tile or stone would crack. Wraps columns, curves around arches and turns corners without a mitre joint, while reading on the wall as genuine stone. Thirty-three TW-coded finishes.

  • Thickness 3–5 mm
  • Finishes 33 (TW codes)
  • Fire rating Class A2

04 — Straight Answers

Questions we get every week.

Is Stone Veneer really real stone?

Yes — it's quarried stone split to a 2–3 mm layer and bonded to a glass-fibre backing, not a printed finish. Every sheet is unique because the face is natural stone. That backing is what lets it bend to an 8 inch radius and cut with tin snips instead of a wet saw.

Can Flexible Clay Cladding really wrap a curve?

Warmed gently, yes — it bends to a 20 mm radius. That's tight enough for a column, an arch or a curved reception desk that a rigid tile or stone panel simply can't follow without a joint.

What's the difference between Flexible Clay Cladding and Flexi Clay?

Both are bendable clay-composite surfaces from us, from two different catalogues. Flexible Clay Cladding runs 24 textures across 5 earth colourways at a fixed 3 mm. Flexi Clay is our broader 33-finish, TW-coded range at 3–5 mm, fire class A2 and rated for wet areas. Tell us the look you're after and we'll point you to the right one.

Where do Ubuntu Laminates get used?

Feature walls, joinery and curved surfaces where a standard laminate would crack — the spandex face bends 90° without heat and ships as a roll, so it's a common pick for reception counters, retail fixtures and accent walls.

Do these need a different installer than your other products?

No — the same applicators who install our cladding, decking and laminate ranges handle all four. Substrate prep differs slightly by material, but it's one crew, one contract.

Do you supply only, or install as well?

Both. Most clients take supply plus installation through our applicators so material and workmanship stay with one party. Supply-only is available if your carpenter or contractor is already appointed.

Can we see the material before ordering?

Yes. Visit the Experience Centre at 13C Paul Mansions, 6 Bishop Lefroy Road, Mon–Sat 10:30 AM to 7 PM, to see physical samples of all four. Call ahead so we can set aside time for you.
