Both. Our polyurethane products are designed to withstand outdoor stress tests yet they are beautiful enough to be used as interior decoration. They are completely waterproof and UV resistant.
Are your products fire-rated?
Yes, all your products are also available in fire-rated materials. They can also be used on fireplaces and around stoves. Consider that even though our panels can be ordered in fire-rated, they are not natural stone.
Consult the manufacturer of your stove / fireplace for clearance requirement. If you think our panels will be installed too close to a heat source you should consider the fire-rated option.
Our products are not meant to be used inside the firebox but only on the outside and surrounding areas. The ideal application would have a frame of about 5-6 inches around the face of the firebox with tiles or similar
materials to separate our panels from the fireplace opening. Remember that our products are made of polyurethane and although they can be ordered in fire-rated material, they are not fire proof.

Anyone can install our products. You don’t need to prepare the existing surface with backer boards of wiremesh, purchase expensive diamond blades or wet saws, mix mortar and learn to lay bricks before you have the power to fully manage your project.

You can cut polyurethane just like wood, use a nail gun to install easily or counter sink the screws then cover them with our magic grout.
