Can I use Urestone faux stone panels in my shower?
Yes. URESTONE faux stone, faux brick, and faux wood panels are waterproof and durable for shower walls and wet areas. Install over a proper substrate, seal all seams and penetrations, and use cleaners that are safe for painted finishes.
Details
-
Substrates: install over cement board or a waterproof backing. Apply a waterproofing membrane per manufacturer instructions before panel installation
-
Adhesive and fasteners: use a compatible construction adhesive and corrosion-resistant screws. Follow cure times before exposing to water
-
Seams and edges: seal vertical and horizontal joints, inside corners, niches, and valve trims with a compatible sealant. Maintain expansion gaps where specified
-
Fixtures: pre-drill for mixers, showerheads, and accessories. Seal penetrations thoroughly to keep water out of the wall assembly
-
Floor transitions: panels are for walls and ceilings. Use a standard shower pan or tile floor. Flash and seal at the pan upturn or threshold
-
Optional topcoat: a clear polyurethane sealer may be applied to make routine cleaning even easier. Test in an inconspicuous area first
-
Style and layout: large-format panels reduce grout lines and seams compared to tile, creating a realistic stacked stone or brick look with easier upkeep
