PU Stone Flat refers to a type of decorative wall paneling made from Polyurethane (PU) that is designed to mimic the appearance and texture of natural stone, specifically a flat-cut or ledger stone style.
It is one of the most popular and practical alternatives to using real stone veneer.
What is PU Stone?
PU Stone is a faux stone panel made primarily from high-density polyurethane resin and various fillers. These panels are typically cast from molds taken from actual natural stone pieces, which allows them to capture the realistic look, texture, and dimension of the original material.
The term "Flat" generally refers to a design style where the stones are relatively uniform, stacked, or cut flat, as opposed to more rounded styles like river rock or jagged styles like castle stone.
Common Applications
Because of its durability and lightweight nature, PU stone is highly versatile for both interior and exterior use:
- Interior Accent Walls: Living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways.
- Fireplace Surrounds: Safe to use around most gas/electric fireplaces (check temperature ratings).
- Exterior Facades: House siding, porch pillars, and foundation skirting.
- Commercial Spaces: Lobbies, restaurants, and retail feature walls.
