Meely Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well, Its time to start planning my spring cottage project. This year I plan on dressing up a boring wood-panel wall in my living room. I have decided to go with the "stone" look. After researching products, I have come to learn that there are various sized panels, styles and patterns of faux stone that can be screwed into a wall as opposed to using mortar etc. My problem is, all the suppliers, I have found, are in the US and I really dont wanna pay all the shipping and customs fees. Does any OFC'er have a lead/idea where I can find a local dealer of such products in the GTA ?? Any feed back on these products?? Thanks for any help, Meely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Timbr Mart and probably most other lumber yards have similar products Meely. It's also made by Steel Tile in Barrie..well their facility next door anyhow. Here's one distributor in TO http://www.advancedrock.net/region_canada.asp Edited January 26, 2008 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 This is simple... I just finished ordering and having our guys install some of this stuff Works out to about 1.00 Per SQF... Less then ceramic tiles! http://polyart.koredesign.com/ They are located in Oakville. Enjoy the new look! G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motv8tr Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Too bad none of them have the price made available I would like to get rid of the siding on my house and these products look like they would do what I want. I think the one Wayne posted gave a price per sheet, but I only took a quick look. I need to figure out how much square footage the outside of my house is first I guess, then maybe call them....

Gerritt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Moe, like I said I just purchased some and had it installed.. it worked out to be about 1.03 per SQF. G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Meely, I should add... ask for a discount!.. I did and they obliged! it was 13% or something... basically took care of the taxes G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonfisher Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 1.03 installed? That would make a pretty cool backsplash for a kitchen. Would also look nice in a bathroom around a jaccuzzi tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 for the material Steve.. all you use is drywall screws and some PL.... Simple as pie. You have an A B C D panel... it is idiot proof. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
