Polyurethane Panel Siding: Advantages and Benefits
NextStone’s insulated stone siding panels, crafted from a composite of polyurethane and recycled PVC, provide a brilliant fusion of functionality, aesthetic appeal, durability, and environmental responsibility. Here are some of the specific advantages that make NextStone an exceptional choice for both exterior and interior applications:
Authentic Look
NextStone panels are cast from actual stone and rock patterns, providing an authentic look that replicates the beauty of natural or cultured stone. Each panel is fully textured and produced with rich colors, giving the appearance of real stone.
Lightweight and Durable
Weighing in at approximately 1 lb. per sq. ft., these panels are lightweight yet durable. This reduced weight eliminates the need for additional materials, equipment, or labor during installation.
Easy Installation
NextStone panels can be easily installed with basic hand or power tools, and can be cut with any standard saw. They feature a patented 45-degree tongue and groove design that interlocks the panels, reducing the number of screws needed and hiding the top of the panel screws, eliminating the need for caulking and painting.
Versatility
NextStone panels can be applied almost anywhere inside or outside a home or workplace, including foundations, cement, cinder block, metal buildings, and even showers (with a vapor barrier). They’ve been used in various projects such as wine cellars, kitchens, and fireplaces, and can be recoated or painted with proper preparation.
Energy Efficiency
With a high R-value of 4.5 per inch of thickness, NextStone panels provide increased insulation value, leading to potential energy savings for homeowners.
Eco-Friendly
NextStone products are certified green products, manufactured using recycled materials and not taxing natural resources.
Fire Retardant
The panels are non-flammable and made with fire retardants, adding an extra layer of safety to your home.
Low Maintenance
NextStone panels require minimal maintenance and do not require painting, staining, or waterproofing. They are resistant to weathering, ensuring their longevity and durability.
Warranty
NextStone offers a 20-year manufacturer warranty, providing peace of mind for long-term use.
In conclusion, NextStone Polyurethane Panel Siding offers an exceptional combination of visual appeal, durability, easy installation, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility, making it an excellent choice for both interior and exterior applications.
