Can Urestone panels flex around a curved wall?

Yes. URESTONE faux stone, faux brick, and faux wood panels can wrap gentle curves. For tighter radii, plan extra adhesive and screws, and use relief techniques like gentle heat or scoring the back to ease the bend.
Details
-
Best option for curves: URESTONE Professional panels are the most flexible and easiest to handle on tight or compound curves
-
Large-format curves: 4x8 Designer and 42x96 Wainscot panels can follow broad, gentle arcs; tighter bends may require scoring or segmenting
-
Relief methods:
-
Gentle, even heat with a heat gun can increase flexibility—test on scrap first
-
Score or kerf the back (shallow, parallel cuts) to reduce stiffness on tight radii
-
Use a segmented approach (narrow panel strips) for very small radii, then blend seams
-
-
Adhesive and fastening: apply full-coverage construction adhesive plus corrosion-resistant screws; increase fastener frequency along the curve
-
Substrate prep: create a smooth, continuous curve with bending plywood, furring, or a templated backer so panels sit flat without rocking
-
Seams and pattern: dry-fit, stagger seams, and align interlocking edges; touch up with color-matched kit to keep the stacked stone or brick look continuous
-
Inside vs outside curves: pre-plan cut lines and end-cap details; consider trim boards or vertical battens to hide transitions on extreme curves
-
Safety: score shallowly, support the panel while bending, and avoid overheating the finish
