faux stone

Imitation rock material

Faux stone is artificial material made to resemble natural stone—used in construction, landscaping, and interior design.

It's typically lighter, cheaper, and easier to install than real stone: The fireplace surround is faux stone, but you'd never know it.

Faux stone panels cover walls, and faux stone veneer faces buildings without the weight of actual masonry.
