Product Description:
NextStone™’s masons and master craftsmen have created products that are an ideal
combination of stone textures and sizes, melding them artistically into an extremely easy to
install paneling system. NextStone™ products are a light weight veneer wall panel system,
providing a very realistic “rock wall” appearance. These products are intended for exterior
applications over masonry, wood framed, or metal framed construction, be it residential or
commercial. The products have been engineered to eliminate additional structural or
foundation support requirements. The basic system requires no caulking.
NextStone™ products are made of uniquely formulated closed cell polyurethane,
incorporating UV inhibitors and fire retardants. The panels and accessory pieces have been
cast from real stone giving them a remarkably realistic rock look. A specially formulated “In
Mold Coating” is chemically and mechanically bonded with the molded surface of the panel.
The result is a lightweight, durable wall panel system with a realistic rock finish.
Limitations:
NextStone™ products are intended as wall coverings only and should not be used as pavers or
subjected to foot traffic. NextStone™ products do not add to the structural load bearing
capacity of the substrate to which it is applied. If NextStone™ products are used below
grade or water level, discoloration of the product can occur from the leaching of minerals
and chemicals from the soil and water. The product will not be altered or degraded, but
color fastness is not guaranteed. Avoid installing in locations which will be repeatedly
subjected to abrasion, or repeated contact such as lawn mowers and string trimmers.
