FauxPanels.com Announces Two New Colors for Novi Line of Faux Stone Siding

FauxPanels.com Announces Two New Colors for Novi Line of Faux Stone Siding











Faux stone panels in sand blend go perfectly with any exterior design.


Deer Park, NY (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

Faux Panels’ Novi line of stone veneer now has two new colors that are sure to please both style-minded and conservative consumers. Onyx and Sand Blend add black and warm tan shades to the already popular line of stone wall siding.

“In a cautious economic climate, some homeowners prefer neutral shades like onyx and sand to provide the greatest versatility in their decorating — and some people just like the flexibility,” said Steve Barron, president of Faux Panels.

Novi stone wall siding is popular with both DIYers and contractors. Its realistic look and texture provides a fabulous foundation edging or the appearance of an entire stone wall without the time, expense or work genuine stone requires.

Unlike real stone, Novi stone siding requires very little maintenance – only routine cleaning. Genuine stone eventually dusts and can be brittle. Siding made of polypropylene is durable, won’t chip or crack, and withstands extreme temperatures.

Stone Panels in Black Are Anything But Basic

“Everyone knows that black goes with everything, so Onyx will be extremely popular. Customers have been asking for a darker shade than our Smoked Gray and Gray Black faux stone panels. Onyx was designed with that customer request in mind,” said Ruth Barron, vice-president of Faux Panels.

“Plus black faux stone can be used in everything from a sleek, ultra modern design to a rustic country design,” added Steve Barron.

Besides being neutral, black can also convey sophistication. Decorators frequently mix black into their designs, and not just as an accent. Onyx panels will now allow designers to incorporate both black and the look of genuine stone.

Sand Blend Stone Veneer Creates Ultimate Flexibility

Sand Blend was designed to add warmth to a room in lovely shades of medium tan, providing additional versatility. It can tone down and balance a colorful decor or frame and accent a focal point.

“Sand Blend is perfect for a Southwestern design but its look and feel of genuine stone works equally well in a traditional home or a contemporary design,” said Steve Barron.

Whether a homeowner is looking for low-maintenance living or high end style, Novi Onyx and Sand Blend faux stone siding provides the perfect solution.

Inventor of Hot Stone Massage Rocks Pet World the Natural Way

Inventor of Hot Stone Massage Rocks Pet World the Natural Way











Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) October 22, 2007

Sonia Alexandra invented the wildly popular hot stone massage in the mid nineties, now she is taking her passion for holistic healing to pet owners worldwide. Pets will now be able to experience the holistic benefits of the hot stone massage thanks to Stone-Healing.com.

The benefits of holistic healing have long been recognized among men and women alike, and this ancient art is slowly beginning to find a home for itself among the pet population.

Stone Healing (http://www.stone-healing.com), a holistic company specializing in the ancient art of stone healing and massage, was launched in 2000 following a mainstream return to holistic remedies. The founder of Stone Healing reasoned that if these ancient methods she personally had invented and educated consumers about for years were met with success, then pets would likely benefit from them as well.

Due to this company’s forward thinking pet owners can now visit http://www.Stone-Healing.com to find unique massage specific stones. Further, one can purchase organic treatments that utilize the body’s own natural elements to promote physical and spiritual healing and growth. Pet owners can also find exclusive holistic pet charms on the website that are new to the pet industry as a whole.

People of all ages are also given the opportunity to take part in an approved stone massage education program, teaching people how to effectively use the art of stone healing massage to maximize the benefits for themselves and eventually their pets.

“Stone healing is an ancient concept revisited. These stones provide measurable therapeutic value via energy balancing abilities; the stones also work in harmony with each animal’s natural healing process, and they respond beautifully,” notes Founder and CEO Sonia Alexandra.

Sonia Alexandra is the author of The Art of Stone Healing, an innovative step in locating the link between mind and body and endorsed by Deepak Chopra. Stone healing provides pets and owners alike with the opportunity to use nature’s own curative qualities to find alternative solutions that modern day medicine does not provide.

For additional information on the Art of Stone Healing ISBN # 978.0.9758711.0.2 and to see the vast array of products that Stone Healing has to offer for pets and their people go to http://www.stone-healing.com.

Mississauga, November 24, 2008 – Stone Selex Chosen as Official Canadian Distributor for Canyon Stone’s Manufactured Stone Veneer

Mississauga, November 24, 2008 – Stone Selex Chosen as Official Canadian Distributor for Canyon Stone’s Manufactured Stone Veneer










Mississauga, Ontario (PRWEB) November 25, 2008

Stone Selex chosen as official Canadian Distributor for Canyon Stone’s manufactured stone veneer. Jerry Lebiedzinski, President of Stone Selex Inc. is pleased to announce that Stone Selex has signed an exclusive distributor agreement with Canyon Stone of Kansas, USA. The agreement grants Stone Selex rights to sell Canyon Stone’s manufactured stone veneer in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes.

“We’re very proud of our association with Canyon Stone and the opportunity it gives us to share such a wide selection of quality artificial stone with the Canadian marketplace,” says Mister Lebiedzinski. “This agreement further demonstrates the Stone Selex commitment to providing our customers with the best products for the construction and renovation industry.”

Mister Lebiedzinski offers these observations on the advantages of manufactured stone over natural stone, particularly in fireplace construction where the product’s lighter weight eliminates the need for structural reinforcing:

Manufactured stone perfectly matches the appearance of natural stone. Whether it’s the rough-hewn look of fieldstone or the gentle contours of streamstone, quality manufactured stone, often referred to as artificial stone or faux stone, so perfectly emulates the look and feel of natural stone it can fool even experienced masons. This remarkable achievement comes from using a formulation of Portland cement, natural aggregates, and carefully selected pigments in meticulously detailed molds modeled after natural stone. The result is a finished product virtually indistinguishable from the original.

Manufactured stone is light weight. Manufactured stone typically weighs much less than natural stone, about two-thirds the weight of natural stone veneer and less than a quarter the weight of full-block natural stone. This provides significant savings in shipping and labor costs, as well as reducing the need for costly structural reinforcing.

Manufactured stone is easy to install. Thanks to its light weight and convenient sizes and shapes, with a little planning and attention to detail even weekend handymen can successfully install artificial stone veneer. All that’s required is following the vendor’s simple instructions and observing basic precautions. Other than perhaps a circular saw with a masonry blade for cutting stones to size, there’s no need for many of the heavy-duty power tools often required when working with natural stone. Standard hand masonry tools will do.

Manufactured stone can be installed on virtually any wall. Since its light weight eliminates the need for special footings and foundations, and since it can be applied to any structurally sound wall surface, artificial stone veneer is perfect for fireplaces. You can now build a gas or even a wood-burning fireplace anywhere you can place a chimney, such as against an interior wall or even in the center of a room.

Manufactured stone is durable and maintenance-free. Reputable manufacturers of artificial stone provide a 50 year warranty on their product, but that’s not the limit of the stone’s life-expectancy. Properly applied, quality manufactured stone can be expected to last much longer, even on external walls subject to the elements. Inside a home, on a fireplace for example, manufactured stone veneer should provide service for many generations.

Manufactured Stone is safe for fireplaces. Obviously, when constructing a wood or gas-burning fireplace, flammability of the building materials is a concern. By its very nature, manufactured stone is non-combustible. It contributes zero fuel and produces no smoke.

Manufactured stone offers wide variety. Available in dozens of different styles, textures, and colors, artificial stone veneer can emulate any natural stone. This gives you broad flexibility in designing a fireplace that perfectly complements your home and lifestyle, whether traditional or contemporary.

Manufactured Stone is less expensive than natural stone. Using manufactured stone veneer saves you money in three ways.

First, the product itself costs less than natural stone.

Second, because artificial stone veneer weighs so much less than natural stone, the cost to ship the stone to your job site — which can be prohibitive for natural stone — is much less.

Third, labor costs are usually lower, since manufactured stone is lighter and easier to work with. Masons can install the product faster, saving both time and money.

About Stone Selex Inc.:

Based in the greater Toronto area, Stone Selex supplies manufactured or artificial stone veneer to wholesalers, construction companies, and individual buyers across Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes. Their product is covered by a 50-year warranty and is ideally suited for a wide variety of both interior and exterior construction projects.
