At the end of this summer, the parents decided to renovate the facade of the cottage. We chose the Stone House S-Lock panels from the U-Plast company. We mainly focused on reviews. But I also liked the design. Everything is made of stone. You can't tell the difference from the real thing right away. So I want to share my experience.
Everything is clear on the website. There is a description, a photo, even a video, and a map with shops where you can buy panels. I do not know if there is such a thing on other sites, but it seemed to me that it is very convenient. Actually, the delivery was ordered at one of these stores. Three days later, everything arrived. The packaging is factory-made, nothing is damaged.
I am not a builder and have never been involved in the cladding of houses. I Googled in advance how the panels are generally mounted. It turned out there was nothing complicated. There are instructions for dummies on the same manufacturer's website. So we decided to install it ourselves. In general, everything is intuitive. The panels are fastened tightly and snap easily. Even with my inexperience, everything seems to look neat.
What's the outcome? The house began to look simply gorgeous. It doesn't look like they're facade panels. It looks natural without plasticity.
By the way, there was a hurricane in our region. My father went to check on the cottage, says that nothing flew away, everything is still holding up well. The panels themselves are intact.
In general, they did not regret a ruble, and this, you see, is important. I can recommend it for purchase.

I called Yu Plast on the phone on the website: I need a siding, I asked for an initial calculation. The dimensions of the facade were requested. I sent both the dimensions and photos of the house from all sides. We counted the "turnkey" installation. The amount attracted! We agreed on the departure of the engineer. I waited a week, an engineer arrived. I made measurements and calculations. As a result... the price of materials alone increased 3.5 times from the initial calculation! In 3.5!
Of course, I wrote to the factory, everything I think. They tell me: so you have 40% more measurements. The simple fact that the price of the material increased at the same time not by 40% or even by 140%, but by 350% did not confuse specialists. And the most expensive material that I selected from the samples on the spot was 30% more expensive. So I admit an increase in the cost even by 2 times. But not by almost 4 times?!
I admit that the auxiliary materials, all sorts of tides, angles and guides were pulled pretty much. But when you do the calculation, and even from the photo, why don't you specify and take into account the obvious auxiliary materials?
Conclusion. The service is unprofessional and irresponsible. The preliminary calculations are so abstract that they lose all meaning. Don't believe Yu Plast's calculations. And, by the way, this gives rise to distrust of both materials and installation services. And, by the way, I can't believe that the tides and other auxiliary equipment pulled 250% of the cost of the panels, despite the fact that the panels cost about 1000 rubles. Russian rubles (a company from Belarus). Although they are good, pleasant people, and I love Belarus. But I prefer to deal with professionals, the legal Layer in terms of service does not pull them yet. So I would like to develop the service, they lose customers because of it. There is potential, but I definitely don't recommend it yet.
