OUTDOOR OASIS: EXPERTER RÅDGÅR OM INSTALLATION AV UTOMHUS STAPPADE STEN

Inkorporerande staplad sten in your home’s hardscaping is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your home’s exterior and outdoor living areas. Not only is it extremely popular, attractive, and timeless — it’s also easy and low-maintenance, thanks to MSI’s stacked stone ledger panels. 

However, if you’ve considered using stacked stone panels, you may have received incorrect or misleading information that could lead you to dismiss the idea as being impractical or low-quality, or prohibitively expensive. We’re here to tell you the truth: MSI’s stacked stone ledger is crafted from real natural stone, and although it’s top-quality, it’s also an extraordinary value.

GULD VIT

If you’ve been turned off by the disappointing look of some stacked stone installations, it’s possible you’ve encountered a phony. Budget-conscious property owners sometimes choose the lowest-priced option but end up paying the price by having to live with low-quality results. 

Choose the best! MSI uses real stone in its panels, not a look-alike. Also, unlike low-end ledger panels, MSI’s panels are not restricted to straight lines. Shown here, Gyllene Vit — natural split-face quartzite hugs curves to create any number of hardscaping accents. 

SILVERTRAVERTIN 

Utvalda: Silver travertin staplad sten

Fake stacked stone ledger panels are sometimes passed off as the real thing — but, in reality, they are made from a stone and concrete mixture that is painted to resemble natural stone. Before making this important investment, ask questions and do your research to make sure you are getting true natural stone! 

You can’t beat the look of real stone to create spectacular outdoor living spaces, like this shaded outdoor kitchen and bar crafted with Silver Travertine. MSI’s ledger panels are easy to cut to size so you can create any number of inset areas or unique shapes. 

FOSSIL RUSTIK

One of the best qualities of MSI’s ledger panels is the availability of matching corner pieces. These are not offered by every manufacturer, so be sure you’re getting the best! Without matching corners, the installer must carefully miter the edges, which adds to the labor cost of the project and may not look as good. Some may just overlap the edges, which gives an amateur appearance.

Denna scen med Fossil Rustik sandstenslistpaneler använder många hörnstycken, vilket visar hur väl våra paneler lämpar sig för att täcka pelare och smala fristående hardscape-element som denna härd och accentvägg. 

CASA BLEND 3D 

Utvalda: Casa Blend 3D staplad sten

Stacked stone panels are ideal for large, dramatic installations — but you can’t overdo them in your hardscape plans, so there’s no reason to use anything else for those smaller features. Use ledger panels to face flower beds, staplade stenväggar, bänkar, staketpelare och alla andra mindre element där du vill ha en stor påverkan. 

Casa Blend 3D, en kombination av travertin med delat ansikte och finslipad finish, har varma beige- och krämtoner som smälter in väl i alla landskap. Liksom våra andra ledgerpaneler kan de användas för att skapa graciösa kurvor och inkluderar hörnstycken för att passa i de smalaste utrymmena.
