DIY Stone Weekend Warriors – Remodel A Fireplace In No Time
They've done it again! With affordable stone veneer panels regular homeowners become DIY experts. Who says that only expert masons can create a beautiful stone accent? Anyone can and the proof is in the photos.
What once was a job for only expert stone masons or expensive remodeling firms, today has become something that any homeowner can quickly and cheaply dish out on his or her own. Or both!
Let's take as an example a young couple who just moved in a nice home and have spent a considerable amount of money remodeling the place before moving in. One project they left behind is the fireplace and as soon as they removed all the boxes and organized the rooms, they realize that this specific area needs a quick makeover. They agree on adding stone veneer panels instead of using traditional stone.
They have previously received quotes from masons who quickly scared them. They remember of this imitation stone store called AnticoElements.com and quickly decide to give it a try. The panels are clearly very realistic and installing them doesn't require any expertise.
To install stone veneer panels you only need a circular saw ( or if available, a table saw ), some Liquid Nails you can purchase at Lowe's or Home Depot and some screws.
Here's what happened when you have informed homeowners that know where to find faux materials panels to remodel a fireplace:
Stone Project With Veneer Panels

Great relation between quality and price: faux wall panels
Did you know that if you purchase with Antico Elements more than $3000 in panels you would get either a discount in quantity or free shipping if you live in the USA area?
So here, another good reason to believe that Antico Elements cares about their customers!
Antico Elements attention goes to the relation between quantity and quality, price and quality. Finding very affordable products in the market now a day it is very possible, but how about the quality?
If you buy a very cheap dress, probably after few times washing it, it will damage or break.
So how about if you decide to remodel your house and you go for the low cost products? A house is not like a dress! It takes time and effort to install the remodeling items. And in this case, if you decide to purchase faux wall panels, if you don’t make the right choice and you only consider the price aspect of it, you will probably end up with a product that you will have to take off and change after few weeks.
Antico Elements doesn’t want that to happen to their clients! They carefully choose the row materials in a way that they can guarantee a “lasting forever” product and they balance it with a price that can be affordable to everyone, and most important you can save from your pocket when deciding to go with Antico, because the installation doesn’t imply an additional cost. You can actually install the panels yourself!!! You can see a great example in THIS photo.
Affordable high quality products that last until you decide you want to change them!

EditorAnother beautiful faux stone fireplace.
Another example of how beautiful a room can be with the addition of faux stone in a room but specifically on a fireplace.
As seen in these photos, nothing can add that natural and charming look like faux stone can.
It can be very challenging to a blend a new element into a project without making it look out of place. This can happen when the texture of a stone doesn't match the decor. For example of a home has a more traditional style, the use of a gray slate elements will probably not blend in. If a modern contemporary environment maybe it may not be appropriate to use a faux stone like river rock - which it looks beautiful in other settings.
One great thing about Antico Elements is the ability to choose from a large variety of faux stone styles and colors. There is a panel for every project and style.
Whether you are looking to create a warm traditional room or a more modern and cool space, you can easily find a panel that fits your needs.

How to easily reface a fireplace with faux stone panels.
Antico Elements has been in the remodeling business for decades so we know very well how homeowners approach a remodeling project. Usually there is one person who takes care of the construction and another will worry that the project will never be completed.
This is we are very product to offer faux stone panels that are incredibly easily to install and the take very little time.
The customer below was worried about having to remove the exiting brick which were esthetically outdated and did not match the rest of the decor in the room. When we explained that our faux stone panels can be directly installed over the brick or any other surface the homeowner was pleasantly surprised.
As long as the surface on which you want to install the faux stone panels is clean and free of dust and oily substance you can simply use some inexpensive construction adhesive to install the stone panels. In this case we recommend the use of some masonry screws ( some are called Tapcons and are usually blue ). To cover the screw heads some caulk can be used and then painted with our touch-up kits to completely conceal the use of screws.

Fake Rock Wall Panels For Stone Fireplace
For many of us the word fake is usually associated with something negative, of lesser quality. Although this may be true in some cases, when it comes to faux stone things are quite different.
Whether you are a builder or contractor looking to reface a wall with cladding materials or a homeowner trying to create a fireplace design, most likely you will not entertain the possibility of using artificial stone because of the negative perception of those terms.
As we can see, some faux stone, also called Fake Rock Wall panels, are quite stunning. They reproduce every small detail of the original stone while adding quite a few benefits. When creating a stone fireplace with faux rock wall panels there are a few things any contractor or homeowner can avoid, resulting in substantial savings. For once, when using fake rock products the weight of each stone is greatly reduced therefore there is no need to worry about supporting the floor with additional beams.
When using real rocks it becomes a arduous process to find each stone to fit, to create a harmonious look. When using faux rock panels for fireplaces we can see how the panels interlock with each other, creating a seamless look and without having to worry about the configuration.
Another great benefit is that anyone can create a faux rock wall look without having to learn how to cut stone or investing in expensive masonry tools.
In the project above, the homeowner was very thrilled with the product. One of is comment was: "I will never go back to regular stone".
