Product Overview: What is PU Stone?
Artificial PU Stone (Polyurethane Stone) is a high-tech faux building material that replicates the rugged beauty of natural stone. Unlike traditional cultured stone or concrete, PU Stone Panels are made by foaming high-density polyurethane in molds cast from real rocks. This process captures every crack, pit, and texture of natural stone but results in a product that weighs nearly nothing.
As a leading PU Stone Manufacturer in China, Карон Стоун creates panels that are indistinguishable from real stone to the naked eye. They are the perfect solution for designers seeking Lightweight Wall Cladding for interiors, exteriors, and ceiling applications where real stone is too heavy or expensive to install.

Yes. Our panels are treated with flame retardants and typically achieve a B1 Fire Rating, making them safe for interior commercial use.
