Cloudy Onyx features diffused, cloudlike veining that introduces gentle visual interest without overwhelming the space. Its soft tonal palette supports the creation of calm, welcoming environments — making it a strong fit for social housing schemes where residents deserve interiors that feel restful, dignified, and genuinely homely.

This décor aligns with the growing expectation that affordable homes should feel every bit as considered as private developments. Cloudy Onyx delivers a refined, hard-wearing finish at a practical price point, helping housing providers create spaces that look premium, wear well, and stand up to the demands of everyday family life.

The smart alternative to tiles. As a 100% waterproof wall panel system, Fibo offers social housing providers a faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective solution than traditional tiling. With no grout lines to discolour, crack, or harbour mould, Cloudy Onyx stays looking fresh for years — reducing maintenance call-outs, simplifying void turnarounds, and giving housing teams confidence that bathrooms and kitchens will continue to perform. Installation is up to 4x faster than tiling, helping schemes stay on programme and getting homes tenant-ready sooner.

Built to stand the test of time. Backed by Fibo's 25-year guarantee, Cloudy Onyx is designed for longevity — not just in its robust, easy-to-maintain construction, but in its enduring visual appeal. Its understated palette and timeless veining sit outside passing trends, meaning interiors specified today will still feel current, fresh, and relevant a decade from now. For housing providers planning long refurbishment cycles, that's a finish that ages gracefully without ever looking dated — protecting both investment and resident pride in their home.

Better for residents, better for budgets. A hygienic, wipe-clean surface supports healthier homes and easier daily living for tenants, while the long lifespan and low whole-life cost help providers stretch capital and maintenance budgets further. Cloudy Onyx represents a new chapter in accessible, design-led interiors for the social housing sector — its quiet sophistication enhancing kitchens, bathrooms, and communal areas where comfort, durability, and warmth matter most. For specifiers and registered providers, it's a material solution that raises the standard of resident experience while supporting long-term value and ease of maintenance.
