subject: Faux Stone For All Your Diy Projects [print this page] When introducing a new product in the market place, it is normal to see some skepticism from the public. Most of us are naturally afraid of the unknown.
This was also true for faux stone when it was first introduced. Things quickly changed though. What most people say now is that they wish they had found Antico Elements much earlier!
As many imitation rock products, faux stone is made from a very interesting material called polyurethane. There are various reasons why this product can look incredibly realistic. When a company chooses to sell a product of high quality it applies the colors on each stone by hand instead of using a repetitive pattern created by a machine. One thing that many companies do not do is add the right amount of polymers to increase the density of material and create a faux stone that is very durable.
Today most consumers are not able to tell the difference between the faux stone and the real stone.
Right now the market is saturated by imitations. When searching for faux stone consumers will see a lot of adds popping up but ultimately they will pick the company with the best quality and the most affordable pricing.
This faux stone is ideal for many DIY projects because it cut down on cost for material and labor. Most faux stone products are durable and made resistant to every-day stresses. Antico Elements has tested its faux stone products in many ways and determined that they are:
-Completely waterproof
-Resistant to mildew
-UV resistant, therefore ideal for outdoor use
When in need to use faux stone to create or reface a fireplace, these products can actually be ordered in fire-rated. This is not a fire-proof option but it is a much safer option in case of high heat and fire.
