PU Stone Panel FAQs
What are Polyurethane (PU) stone wall panels?
Polyurethane (PU) stone wall panels are lightweight, durable panels that mimic the appearance of natural stone. They are made from high-density polyurethane, which is molded and colored to replicate the texture and look of real stone.
What are the benefits of using PU stone wall panels?
PU stone wall panels are lightweight, easy to install, and cost-effective. They offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, are resistant to moisture, and require minimal maintenance. Additionally, they provide a realistic stone appearance without the heavy weight and high cost associated with natural stone.
How long do PU stone wall panels typically last in different applications?
The lifespan of PU stone can vary depending on factors such as exposure to the elements and maintenance. In general, it is known for its durability and can last for many years, making it a wise investment for long-term projects.
How are PU stone wall panels installed?
PU stone wall panels can be installed using construction adhesive.
Can PU stone wall panels be used both indoors and outdoors?
Yes, PU stone wall panels are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. They are designed to withstand various weather conditions and are UV-resistant, making them an excellent choice for exterior facades as well as interior feature walls.
How do I clean and maintain PU stone wall panels?
Cleaning PU stone wall panels is simple. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For more stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used. These panels are low-maintenance and do not require sealing or other treatments.
How do PU stone wall panels compare to natural stone in terms of cost?
PU stone wall panels are generally more cost-effective than natural stone. They are less expensive to purchase and install, and their lightweight nature reduces transportation and labor costs. This makes them an attractive option for budget-conscious projects.
When should PU Stone be installed during a renovation project?
PU Stone should always be installed last, only after all other works are completed — such as false ceiling, carpentry (e.g. vanity units or TV console), electrical trunking, and any tabletop installation. This ensures proper alignment and avoids damage or extra work.
Can I install PU Stone first, before other items are built in?
No, PU Stone should not be installed first. Installing it too early may result in the need to cut or modify the panels later, which could damage the finish and lead to additional charges.
What happens if I change the wall design after PU Stone is installed?
Once PU Stone is installed, the position and alignment are fixed. Any rework, shifting, or cutting due to design changes made after installation will be chargeable and may affect the final appearance.
Do I need to inform you if there are cabinets, lights, or ceiling works near the PU Stone wall?
Yes, all wall features and built-in items (e.g. cabinets, lights, false ceilings) should be confirmed and communicated before installation. The PU panels may need to be precisely trimmed or adjusted based on these elements.
Is touch-up or rectification free if the issue is due to design change?
No, free rectification is not included for issues caused by late design changes or unnotified built-in items. Additional work will be quoted separately.
