Faux Stone is an infill option for the PalmSHIELD Elite Faux Collection that gives a screen panel the look of natural stone, using weatherproof polymer urethane stone panels in 10 styles, from stacked ledgestone to rounded river rock, all backed by a 25-year limited warranty.
Faux Stone lets a dumpster or equipment enclosure match the stone veneer on a building, entry, or monument sign without the weight, footings, or labor of real stone. Each style is cast in polymer urethane with deep 3D texture, from 1/2" up to 2-1/2", so the stones have real shadow and dimension. The material is weatherproof with near-zero UV degradation. Most styles have interlocking edges that help hide the seams between faux panels. The faux stone is mounted to a 1/4" aluminum backing sheet in PalmSHIELD's patent-pending aluminum picture frame, for full visual screening that installs on aluminum posts.
