Polyurethane stone, often referred to as “PU stone,” is a synthetic material made by combining polyurethane with other compounds to mimic the appearance and texture of natural stone. This material is widely used in construction and interior design because it offers several advantages. PU stone is much lighter than natural stone, making it easier to handle, transport, and install. While lighter, PU stone is still highly durable and resistant to wear, weather, and impact. It doesn’t chip or crack as easily as some natural stones. Compared to natural stone, PU stone is generally more affordable, both in terms of the material itself and the installation process. PU stone requires less maintenance than natural stone, as it doesn’t absorb water or stains as easily. It’s also resistant to mold and mildew.
