It is the dream of every homeowner to make their homes look more personalized while giving it a warmer touch. Your look around your home should be able to reflect your personality. Anyone who has ever tried home beautification knows very well that high end projects like re-paneling or installing brick veneer on a wall requires a lot of time. Nonetheless, use of faux rock panels in the project proves to be handy as it takes only a few days.
How it works
Faux panels are made of high density polyurethane where each rock texture is usually molded from the real rocks. This means that the end product is an exact replica of the original material. The faux rock are made to interlock to each other forming the pattern of a jig saw. This helps to provide a seamless look. In order to attach them to the wall you will need to glue and screw them together. It starts with the bottom then you go slowly towards the top. After that you can use colored caulk to seal any seams, cuts or gaps. Another benefit is that the fake panels are very easy to cut using any wood cutting saw.
Uses
The best thing about faux panels is that you can use them for indoor accents as well as for outdoor sliding. They are a very unique and decorative style of outdoor siding. In addition they are water tight and UV resistant meaning that they can replace the shingles outside the home. They can also be used in interior decoration where they can be made to look like dressed stone, brick or random stone in interior spaces creating the perception of a cozy corner.
In summary, if you are looking for home improvement ideas and you are on a tight budget or time limit then faux rock panels will give your more options to work with regardless of your situation.
