Q.
What are the straight end panels used for?
A.
Straight end panels are good for walls under 4 ft wide or for drop ceiling systems. We do not recommend you use straight end panels for wide walls because they do not interlock, therefore you will see the seams. For walls over 4 ft wide you will want to use our interlocking panels. These interlocking panels are designed with an interlock end that fits together like a jig saw puzzle so you won't see the seams when you join them together. Also not all of our faux panels call for interlocking. For instance, in nature, slate is a slab; so using an interlocking design would lessen the realistic appearance. The standard simulated siding allows you to create your own design.
Everyone has the same reaction when they see our Faux Panels for the first time. They have to actually pick up a panel see how light it is. Shocked, surprised and delighted. They can't believe it's not real. The Faux Panels are indistinguishable from real brick, stone and wood products.
