your stuff looks so much better. If I was the developer I would have been embarrassed by that mistake.

[@fauxrock]

Oh thank you for the kind feedback I do appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.

[@JosephOfBorg]

Are these products available for the do-it-yourselfer? I'm in southeast Iowa

[@fauxrock]

Yes, we custom manufacture the panels for any application you have in mind, and we ship nationally. You can email me or give me a phone call my contact information in the description area the video.

[@lindaswope]

I want to do this to half (I think) of the front of my house. Is this something we have to do ourselves or do we call your company to do it? What is the company that installs this, or where do we get this stone paneling if we have to do it ourselves?

[@fauxrock]

We only do custom orders, but we don’t do the installation

[@juliefitzgerald2490]

Do you have a website I can check out to buy this type of panel?

[@fauxrock]

I never placed this panel system on my website. The only marketing I’ve ever done for it is the KZbin videos that you see here and it made this my number one product.. thanks for watching my video

[@juliefitzgerald2490]

I am looking for some quality panels to use for the skirt of my mobile home. Can you recommend what would be the best to use?

[@1voiceofstl]

is your stuff better then GenStone?

[@fauxrock]

That is up to the individual consumer. I will say the GenStone is made with a urethane foam where our system is a fiber, reinforce cement, much longer lasting. They also don’t have a way of dealing with the length of a panel coming to an end or a corner. We have interlocking corners and we don’t rely on trim to make those intersections happen.

[@smgri]

How does snow affect it ?

[@fauxrock]

Over the last 50 years of building rock and stone features I have gained a lot of experience in overcoming freeze thaw issues… today, none of my panel systems suffer any ill effect from freestyle cycles.

[@smgri]

@@fauxrock I gotcha thanks…I live by boston…cold and snow are brutal on things here 😢

[@davemcdaniel7446]

Whats the average cost to install per square foot?

[@fauxrock]

I guess that all depends on who you call to do the work. I charge $42 a square foot just to make the panels custom to your home which does include shipping but still it’s a very high priced item. Thanks for watching my video.

[@scruffy4647]

@@fauxrockDoes that include the price of the material as in total cost.?

[@fauxrock]

@scruffy4647 yes

[@SunSun-hk8eg]

Good video Showing the difference in 2 materials. The cheaper material is probably good for commercial buildings. I think the builders should show both samples to buyers before installation. So they can pick which ever one they like. To install, remove and then reinstall, is just too much work. 👍👍👍👍👍

How much is one panel?

[@fauxrock]

We only do custom orders with this series of panels where and we make the panels to the exact size of a customers layout. We then custom stain and package and shipped to your door at the price of $47 per square foot. Thanks for watching my video.

I don't understand why a homeowner would go with any kind of fake stone instead of real stone. When we were building our home we wanted to do a stone facing on our fireplace (inside) which was an area of 6 feet wide and 18 feet tall. When we went to the place selling stone, you walked into a showroom with about 3 dozen brands of fake stone. I told the guy we wanted real stone and he walked us outside to 3 large piles of different kinds of rocks. I asked him why he had dozens of kinds of fake stones and only 3 kinds of real stone. He said - let me tell you a secret - we are in the business of selling the stone but not installing it. No matter how fancy, fake stone is just colored cement. Its very cheap to make and the markup on the material is very high and, compared to real stone, its relatively easy and cheaper to install. Real stone is relatively inexpensive as its mostly in its raw state but its very labor intensive and the labor has to be highly skilled. So there was no incentive to push the real stuff, just the fake stuff. Whereas, because the stone is so cheap, masons can charge more and be fairly compensated for their work. Also builders use the fake stuff simply because they are building a lot of houses and the labor to build with real stone is expensive and hard to find. So re cost, it always seemed like a wash to us. But everyone pushes the fake stuff because the stores and manufactures make money and builders can find more folks with the skill level (which is still not low) to them install it. But, manufactured by God, nothing beats the look of real stone. You can spot the difference from a mile away.

[@fauxrock]

Thank you for your feedback. I will say the market does dictate what materials will be used by the majority… we’re just along for the ride. Most of us position ourselves to capture the majority of sales over the minority. Thanks for watching my video.

[@davidchillton1744]

Fun fact the foam panels are more expensive than cast stone

[@fauxrock]

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate you watching my video

Who wants there house to match there neighbors house?

[@fauxrock]

Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate you watching my video.

[@puppyzwolle6683]

That foam? Yes it's cheap. But also looks cheap and feels cheap. Soulless. No wonder nobody wanted that.

[@fauxrock]

You said it all…👍
