Request the exact SKU, dimensions, profile and relief depth, intended location, fixing instructions, compatible trims, packing and current product documents. Do not assume every stone-look panel is suitable outdoors or meets a destination fire requirement.
Begin with the intended location
An indoor accent wall, sheltered entrance and exposed facade involve different conditions. Ask whether the selected PU panel is specified for the proposed exposure and substrate. For outdoor work, review sunlight, water paths, wind loading and local approval requirements with the project team.
For the material comparison, read our PU stone versus natural stone guide. It explains questions about weight, surface appearance, fixing and long-term maintenance without claiming equivalence to natural stone.
What to compare before choosing a finish
| Buyer question | Evidence to request |
|---|---|
| How does the texture look at wall scale? | Physical sample, repeat pattern and installed-view reference. |
| How are corners and openings finished? | Matching trim or approved corner detail for the exact model. |
| What fixes it to the wall? | SKU-specific installation guidance and substrate requirements. |
| Can it be used in this market? | Applicable test reports, labeling and destination review. |
| How is it protected in transit? | Carton dimensions, packing method and damage-check plan. |
Approve the physical reference before production
Photographs do not establish the final color or relief. Label the approved sample with the model and finish, then carry that reference into the order specification and inspection criteria. Ask how replacement material or future batches will be identified.
Price, minimum order quantity, available finishes, warranty and lead time depend on the selected SKU and order. They should be stated in the written quotation, not assumed from a general catalog.
