Nice Job Colin.........thats a tonne of work you did. Looks great. When is the house warming reno PARTY?

 

[Summitric]

Does look awesome. Matches the cabinets just right!!!

 

[Summitric]

What kind of rock did you use? Is that the phoney type rock? And how did you cut/measure it up?

 

[Murminator]

Rock looks awesome.....Is that hardwood or laminate?

 

[gotboost]

yeah that rock stuff is made by gemstone its really easy to work with its acually for out side but i had a brain fart and used it inside it cuts with a table saw and its not cheap that wall behind the tv was $1000 bucks

how is it attached to the wall...... Glue? Or putty?

I have a feature wall around a fireplace we've been trying to decide what to doo to it, and i really like the look of what you've done.

thanks summitric they come in a 4 foot by 1 foot wide panel and they are screwed to the wall or studs behind and use a simple table saw to cut it they have even ledges that u put half way up to make it look like a mantle awesome stuff to work :d

LOOKS GOOD boost I like it,,,

Ric I need the same, my fireplace feature wall is open to above so its 2 storeys high, I wanted to add rock to look like a real fireplace all the way up to the roof because the fire place is bumped out 8inch from the wall with big mantle instead of the flush mount it would look nioce...

but its not cheap,, mine would be a 4G wall lol.... one day

another option ric is to do what i do with my fireplace at the cabin. its a lightweight manufactured stone that applies with type s mortar. everything is available at home depot and comes with good instructions. this stuff is SUPER light. and requires no additional support besides a plywood base.

cost 700$ for all the materials. got everything from home depot.

i used what gotboost used on the outside of my place. good to work with and more forgiving to screw ups. and looks damn good
