Why Choose Faux Stone Panels for Your Outdoor Patio Upgrade?
Because of its durability, texture, and rustic beauty, stone has been a popular home design element for centuries. But for many homeowners, incorporating real stone into their outdoor patio design can be cost-prohibitive and labor-intensive.
Faux stone wall panels are the perfect alternative to natural stone for many reasons. Below are the benefits of using faux stone panels to transform your outdoor patio.

How Much Do Faux Stone Wall Panels Cost?
Faux wall panels offer a versatile and budget-friendly way to bring the beauty of stone to your patio design. Compared to real stone, faux stone costs a fraction of the amount.
Depending on the style you choose, our faux stone wall panels cost between $17 and $23 per square foot, while real stone may cost up to twice as much, if not more. Overall, faux stone is cheaper to purchase, ship, install, and maintain.
To help you determine how much your project will cost, measure the height and width of the surface you plan to cover (be sure to subtract the square footage of any windows). Then, use our handy panel calculator (located next to the quantity selector on your chosen panel) to determine how many panels you need. From there, you can calculate your total panel cost.
If you’re comparing prices of different panels, pay close attention to the size of the panels. One faux stone panel may seem cheaper but could be much smaller than another option. With a small panel, you’re likely to spend more in the long run.
How to Install Faux Stone Panels
Unlike real stone installation, installing exterior faux stone panels is an easy, DIY process that requires only basic tools and materials. By following our detailed installation guide, you can complete your project in a matter of hours.
Installation is a matter of careful measuring, trimming, and adhering the panels to the surface using construction adhesive and screws. Once your panels are properly adhered to the installation surface, you’ll touch up as needed to achieve the most realistic look possible.
