Yeah, we’ve done that a few times. Prefab stone‑look panels are great if you get the right system – the panels come pre‑cut, sealed, and can be hung in half the time. Just make sure the core is solid, the back plate is weather‑proof, and the joints are sealed tight. Don’t skip the vapor barrier or the proper framing attachment. It cuts curing time but you still need to check load capacity and do a quick water test before you lock it in. If you keep those details straight, the wall looks stone and stays solid.

Sure, but that’s a quick fix, not a permanent solution. Make sure you tighten the framing first and seal the joints properly before you lock it in. That way the panel stays in place and you avoid future problems.
