The variation in shape and colors in this treatment of faux stones adds a solid, lasting look and feel to this home, and the siding provides protection and value. Rock, stone, or brick was never so light, incredibly protective, and easy to maintain! The faux artificial stone siding on this charmer combines the look of distinct, well-coordinated elements. Matching contemporary design elements and colors, the siding treatment employs bay window surrounds that are virtually indistinguishable from wood, and a varied faux stone wall that appears hand-assembled from natural elements. Pigments and additives give the veneer a rocky look and feel. Yet the panels themselves are light in weight and resist chips, dents, and scratches that plague traditional rock or masonry walls. Combine the attributes of price, easy installation, worry-free maintenance, energy savings, increased resale value, and curb appeal, and you have a winner. Corners are designed to complete the effect and seal precisely with the flat siding sheets, increasing insulating qualities and resistance to moisture and damage by wind, sun, and rain. In this rear wall, no two faux stone panels look exactly the same, while the siding around the windows is precise and uniform. The variation in colors complete a river rock or flagstone stone effect, but these "stones" won't fade or fall from weathered mortar.
