Benefits of Polyurethane Panels

Faux Polyurethane Panels Here at FauxPanels.com we make all of our panels* out of High density Polyurethane, NOT Styrofoam! Polyurethane has huge visual, durability, and health benefits over Styrofoam.

Disadvantages to Styrofoam:

  • Can break easily
  • Can begin to deform at temperatures as low as 167°F (75°C), melt at around 200°F (93°C), and flow at around 250°F (121°C). In addition to causing structural failure, melting polystyrene can actually fuel a fire.
  • Long-term exposure to small quantities of styrene is suspected of causing: Low platelet counts or hemoglobin values, Chromosomal and lymphatic abnormalities, nervousness, difficulty sleeping, and other acute or chronic health problems associated with the nervous system.

Benefits of our Polyurethane Panels:

  • Polyurethane has a closed cell structure which provides protection from moisture and therefore will not rot. Further, the closed cell structure prevents paint from peeling from the surface.
  • Polyurethane products provide no nutritional value and as such also resist the growth of mildew and fungus.
  • Polyurethane panels will not crack or warp when properly installed.
  • Polyurethane products are not affected by ultraviolet rays when properly coated.
  • In special formulations, Polyurethanes can withstand continuous use at 200°C (392°F) or higher.
  • Most panels can be Class A Firerated
  • Non toxic.
  • No CFC’s in our manufacturing process.
  • Do not admit toxic gasses or vapors.
  • Can be used with water based stains and finishes.
  • 100% free of ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons.

*Except Nailon panels

Spring Forward – It’s Faux Time

Many of us are looking forward to leaving the doldrums of winter behind and lifting our faces up to the promise of spring. With the new season comes inspiration for new design projects. What place is better to start than your own home?

Norwich Faux Panels Fireplace

Norwich Colorado Stacked Stone Desert Sand

The list of remodeling ideas in your mind’s eye can sometimes be overwhelming. Should we rescue the kitchen from its tacky 1970′s wallpaper and formica? Does the fireplace look crumbly and uninspired? How can I make the patio be more inviting for my guests?

We’re excited for spring’s arrival and to see all the new ideas and projects our customers come up with. To help them on their quest, we’ve stocked up on some new panel styles from the Norwich line. As we’ve said before, seeing homeowners’ final results with our paneling is the best part of the job.

We have samples of all the Norwich styles and colors to help pick out the best one for you. Go get some spring in your step…and your walls.

What the Blog Are Faux Panels?

random-tribuff-chimney

In the past 35 years that we’ve been selling faux panels and siding solutions to home and business owners, we’ve accumulated a wealth of do-it-yourself, remodeling and renovation knowledge – most importantly from our own customers’ feedback, design ideas, project stories and more.

The mission of this blog is to share this knowledge with you, in the forms of DIY tips, home makeover stories, design inspiration and more. We also welcome your input, as we’ve found our best source of information comes from our customers’ experiences and know-how as they’ve installed faux products in their homes or place of business.

Over the years, we’re continually surprised and amazed at some of the ideas people have come up with as they incorporate faux panels into their design projects. Take a look at the photo below – a customer used faux panels from our Royal line – installing them beautifully both in the siding and the two front columns guarding the entranceway.

If you have do-it-yourself tips, project ideas, a personal story or anything makeover related, we’d love you to send it in. Don’t forget to include before and after photos if you have them!
