A Great Time To Use Stone Panels
Most Americas are witnessing a great improvement in the housing market. We cannot avoid hearing about it all over the news.
A significant number of homeowners, whether they were "under water" or owning their property, are realizing that with the home prices going up it is now time to do some renovation and put the home up for sale.
On the same token investors and first-home buyers want to take advantage of the very low mortgage rates and purchase a property before the prices reach new highs.
From many surveys, an average of 54% of homeowners say this is a good time to remodel.
Thanks to this reality we are now as busy as ever selling our stone panels. These panels are incredibly easy to install that have become a staple for anyone trying to quickly renovate and remodel a home.
This new economical trend is benefiting different sectors of the US population so investing in this material is simply a matter of doing what's best for a lot of people.

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The customer below was worried about having to remove the exiting brick which were esthetically outdated and did not match the rest of the decor in the room.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.
