Why Use Our Products
Why Use Rock Or Stone Faux Panels?
(“both practical and beautiful”)
Most of us at some point had to deal with the stress and frustration of purchasing expensive materials, hiring expensive contractors and have little control over the process and the results of a remodeling project.
What if you could purchase an affordable product with the support and advice of knowledgeable experts and do the work yourself? What if you then had fun doing it and be so proud of it that you started sending the photos of the finished work to your family and friends?
It’s not just a concept, it very possible with our products. All you need are some basic carpenter’s tools and to browse through a few pages in our catalog at AnticoElements.com.
What are some of the many benefits of our products?
Made in USA
Although some of our designs are inspired by the beautiful and classical styles from around the world, we understand today’s importance in employing American work force. That’s why we proudly make our products in the US!
The Look
Purchasing imitation Stones Panels, Dry Stack and Rock Panels sometimes means getting a lesser product that looks fake.
Sometime so, sometime quite the opposite.
Our products are molded from actual rocks, stone, bricks, coral stone and travertine. The products coming out of the molds reproduce every single detail, of the stone and even the grouting.
Most people don’t believe they aren’t real rocks, stones and wood until they tap on them. The tapping or knocking is usually followed by a “oh, wow!”.
The colors are applied by hand to further increase the realistic look and avoid pattern repetition when putting panels next to each other. Many competitor’s products are sprayed with one color and simply sponged off. Not ours! We carefully apply different colors, one by one.
Cost Saving
Why pay more for a hand-made stone materials and labor involved in long installation when you can pay less for another quality product? This building material is made of high quality, high-density polyurethane and it is available at a fraction of the cost of other materials and other vendors. You can let people admire your work without having to tell them how much you have saved. We provide an additional saving by removing middle men and passing the savings to the customer. Compare our photos and samples with those from other companies to realize that our prices are lower and our quality superior.
Don’t forget, we always have products on sale.

Interlocking feature
Antico Elements’ Stone Panels are designed to interlock on all sides to create a seamless look. They use a system similar to tongue and groove to virtually remove the seam lines you easily notice in other competitor's products. We have spent vast resources to create a system that provides a great look, prevents water from sliding behind the panels and improve the insulation factor.
Practical and lightweight
Have you ever seen someone install rocks and stone or have you done it yourself? You know how long it takes to lay one stone at a time. Now you can install 8-18 square feet of rocks and stone in one step utilizing our stone panels.
Simple installation
Anyone can install our products. You don’t need to purchase expensive diamond blades or wet saws, mix mortar and learn to lay bricks before you have the power to fully manage your project. All you need are basic carpenter tools, adhesive and the desire to create something beautiful on your own. We provide detailed instruction and in case you need it, great customer support.
Flexible
Unlike other manufacturers our panels are not rigid. They can be installed on a bumpy and curved surface without the need to cut single stones in small pieces and compromise the look.
Fire rated
Although resistible to high temperatures, all our products are also available in fire rated material for only 10% more.
Easy to maintain and durable.
Contrary to other “natural products” our panels and accessories are constructed with closed-cell polyurethane particles which means that they will not absorb water and there will be no mold or rutting. They can easily be cleaned and washed. They also will not crack and the finish will barely fade in time. They are so durable and impact resistant that you can even drive a car on it without damage.

Hello. We have replaced the old Stone Panel Samples with some brand NEW ones. They are more representative of the actual panels. They show the crisp and realistic textures you will find in our panels and they also show the top and side lip. On the side you will now notice the name of the stone type clearly stamped.
