Frequently Asked Questions 1) Are there colour or shading differences? Each panel is hand painted to offer a naturally occurring stone, brick or slate finish. 2) Are the Panels UV resistant? The panels are coated with an acrylic sealant used in all outdoor house paints. They have a 15 year UV resistant, fade-proof additive ensuring each panel is colour fast. 3) Why do the panels look so authentic? The panels are manufactured using a unique moulding process developed over 14 years of manufacture by Acoustic Mouldings. These panels are exact copies of the original wall they imitate. 4) Are the panels fire-proof? The surface of the panel is manufactured with a special protective layer, which gives them a fire classification according to UNE EN 13501-1:2002 E. the panels are fire retardant. 5) Are the panels water-proof and resistant to high humidity? Yes. The panels are 100 % water resistant. 6) Are the panels suitable for indoor and outdoor use? Genesis manufactures 2 types of panel one for indoor use and one for outdoor. Both are UV resistant as they are coated with a UV sealant. 7) Are the panels available in other colours as well? Yes, in general this is possible. Panels can be painted to order but this has a longer lead-time. 8) How many panels can a person install in one day? We know that all walls are not equal. But, on a perfect wall (even, dry, not too soft or too hard), a person with experience will be able to install about 35 panels a day. A person without experience could probably manage 15-18 panels. This depends on the size of the wall and the number of cut-outs required.
