It eliminates natural stone’s pain points including heavy weight, high cost, complicated construction and safety hazards.

Factory direct supply with full product series for worldwide projects.

PU stone is applicable for outdoor wall cladding, with its service life ranging vastly from 3–5 years to 30+ years, determined by material formula and manufacturing craft. Made of polyurethane (PU), qualified outdoor-grade PU stone adopts pure closed-cell rigid PU foam without cheap fillers like calcium carbonate, effectively resisting water hydrolysis, UV rays and temperature changes. Paired with professional silicone mold in-mold painting technology (instead of PVC film lamination), it avoids peeling, bubbling and crumbling, boasting excellent weather resistance and thermal insulation. By contrast, filler-added panels and PVC film-processed products degrade rapidly outdoors. Premium pure-formula PU stone can stably serve outdoor scenarios for 30–50 years, while ordinary versions are only suitable for indoor decoration.
