Why do people prefer polyurethane stone panel
What is a PU stone panel?
PU stone panel is a kind of artificial stone made of high-density polyurethane foam. It imitates the appearance of natural stone, but is lightweight, durable and easy to install. It is available in a variety of colors and finishes to create a variety of looks, such as traditional or modern. It is often used as indoor and outdoor decoration such as wall panels. It is anti-corrosive, wear-resistant, flame retardant, UV-resistant, waterproof, and crack-free. , non-corruption and other characteristics.
Why do people prefer polyurethane stone panel?
1. Sustainable development
PU stone panel is made of artificial polyurethane material, which is an environmentally friendly recycled material. Its appearance is infinitely close to that of natural stone. It requires fewer chemicals during the production process. The synthesis process is green, pollution-free, non-toxic and odorless. It uses raw materials such as plant fiber, the production process does not produce waste gas, and the waste materials can be degraded, which is fully in line with modern families’ considerations of sustainable development factors.
2. Lightweight
One of the main advantages of PU stone panels is their light weight. Compared with natural marble, PU stone panels are easier to handle and install. This feature can save you more transportation costs, and at the same time, make the installation process easier. A woman can effortlessly lift a PU stone panel without the cooperation of other machinery, which greatly reduces labor costs. The lightweight features of PU stone panels make cutting and plasticity more possible. You can cut them into the shapes you want according to design requirements, which undoubtedly increases your confidence in facing wall panels of this material. Because it is lightweight, it is easier to cut the tiles to fit the design on site as long as the flatness is maintained.
3. Is the PU stone panel waterproof?
The answer is, of course, no doubt. PU stone panel is made of polyurethane material. This material itself is relatively light, and after foaming treatment, it becomes even lighter. Its waterproof performance is very strong, even if the PU stone panel is placed in water, it will not affect its use. The PU stone panels produced by YKZwallpanel will undergo waterproof testing to ensure that each wall panel will not deteriorate or become moldy in a long-term humid environment. The waterproof, moisture-proof and impact-resistant characteristics of PU stone panels are widely known to everyone.
4. How long is the service life of PU stone panel?
PU stone panel uses polyurethane as the main material, adds an anti-corrosion polymer layer, and sprays multiple layers of high-strength paint. It is acid-resistant, sun-proof, and UV-resistant, and has a service life of 20-30 years. This durability ensures that the panels will remain beautiful for a long time and require little to no maintenance. Unlike natural stone, polyurethane slate does not require sealing or regular maintenance, making it an affordable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.
5. Variety of colors
In terms of aesthetics, PU stone slabs are available in a variety of textures, colors and finishes, providing architects and designers with ample choices. Whether it is a rustic, traditional or modern design, PU stone slabs can be selected to suit various architectural styles. . PU stone is carefully made based on the texture of real stone and artificial technology. Its surface can reach the texture of natural stone, but it is lighter in weight, more beautiful, and more convenient to install and use than natural stone. It has become the first choice of natural stone in the construction industry. Valuable substitute. As the demand for sustainable and beautiful building materials continues to increase, polyurethane slate stands out as an important material favored by the construction industry due to its unique surface treatment technology and rich decorative structure.
6. High cost performance
PU stone panel can replicate the surface of natural stone, but the price is more economical and affordable than natural stone. The long service life of PU stone panel can allow your initial cost to be spread over a longer period of time, making it more cost-effective. It is lighter in weight and can save you more shipping costs. Its convenient installation feature makes it easy to install even without masonry, which saves more labor costs and initial installation costs. In short, the economic performance of PU stone panel is unparalleled compared with other wallpapers and the like.
7. Easy installation, high strength and stable structure
- PU stone panel is pasted on the wall with matching glue, which has high security. If you don’t want to use glue, you can use screws instead. The installation of screws is also very simple and easy to operate.
- The polymer chemical structure derived from polyurethane is very stable and is not easily affected by chemicals in the air, hot and cold temperatures, etc. This gives the PU stone panel higher strength. Although PU stones come in various shapes, they have all been professionally waterproofed , insect-proof, flame-retardant, and wind-proof testing, which also ensures its high strength.
- PU stone panel has fire resistance, good temperature resistance, and can maintain a basic stable structure in extreme environments. It is widely used in relatively humid and bright places such as basements and sunny outdoors. It has good elasticity and flexibility and is not easy to deform and crack. It can be shaped in any way according to the requirements of architects and designers. It is widely used in high-end apartments, villas, airports, hotels, building materials, automobile factories and other fields.
PU stone panel has various styles and clear texture, which is more suitable for minimalist style decoration. Compared with slate and marble, its lightweight, waterproof and fireproof performance, various colors and easier installation make people pursue higher standards. The cost-effectiveness has become a possibility. In recent years, it has been widely used and well received, and has won the favor of more and more people.
