户外绿洲：专家对户外石材安装的建议

合并 堆砌的石头 in your home’s 硬质景观 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.

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, 金色白色 — natural split-face quartzite hugs curves to create any number of hardscaping accents.

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.

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.

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, 堆叠的石墙、长凳座位、栅栏柱以及任何其他想要产生重大影响的次要元素。 

Casa Blend 3D 是劈开面和磨光石灰华的结合，具有温暖的米色和奶油色调，可与任何景观完美融合。与我们的其他分类板一样，它们可用于创建优美的曲线，并包括适合最狭窄空间的角件。
