Whether you’re designing a luxury backyard escape, an indoor spa wall, or a zoo enclosure, Universal Rock wall panels bring your vision to life with texture, depth, and a naturalistic finish.
Key Features & Benefits
- Hyper-Realistic Appearance
Every Universal Rock panel is cast from real stone formations, capturing the fine details— cracks, crevices, layers, and color variations—that make natural rock so visually
compelling. The result is a textured, 3D surface that’s virtually indistinguishable from
quarried stone.
Available in multiple color tones: sandstone, slate gray, mossy brown, desert tan, and more
Natural shading and weathering for authentic character
Seamless interlocking edges for continuous surface flow
- Lightweight & Easy to Install
Unlike heavy stone or concrete, Universal Rock panels are incredibly lightweight, allowing for quick, one-person installation without the need for heavy machinery or reinforced substrates.
Can be installed on wood, drywall, concrete, or metal frames
Panels can be cut, drilled, and fastened using standard tools
Ideal for DIYers, contractors, and landscapers alike
Whether you’re working on an outdoor kitchen façade or an indoor water feature backdrop, these panels simplify the process—saving time, labor, and shipping costs.
- Durable for All Climates
Engineered to thrive in extreme outdoor conditions, Universal Rock panels resist UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. They won’t fade, crack, or peel over time, making them suitable for:
Year-round outdoor exposure
High-humidity environments (pool surrounds, spas, waterfalls)
Commercial installations with heavy foot traffic or impact potential
They’re also pest-resistant and non-porous, offering a cleaner, longer-lasting alternative to real stone.
- Versatile Design Applications
From residential retreats to high-traffic commercial attractions, these panels adapt to a wide range of uses:
Landscape & Pool Design: Retaining walls, waterfalls, grotto surrounds, planter borders
Indoor Features: Accent walls, fireplace surrounds, spa enclosures, themed entertainment settings
Commercial Projects: Zoo exhibits, aquarium backdrops, amusement parks, restaurant facades
Their modular nature allows them to wrap around corners, create multi-dimensional walls, or integrate with other rock products like caves, ledges, and fountains.
- Low Maintenance, Long-Term Value
Forget sealing, grouting, or constant upkeep. Universal Rock wall panels are designed to look great for years with minimal maintenance. Simply hose down or gently scrub if needed—no special treatment required.

Material: High-strength polyurethane composite
Panel Sizes: Ranging from 4′ x 8′ to custom-cut sections

DESCRIPTION

Our Slate panel is very thin with a maximum thickness of 1”, this will be able to comfortably fit behind furniture or other elements.
We recommend our touch up kit to hide seams.
INSTALLATION

Installing Universal Rocks swimming pool waterfall products can elevate the aesthetic and ambiance of your pool area, creating a serene and natural feel. These waterfall features are designed to blend seamlessly into your outdoor environment, with realistic textures and finishes that mimic natural rock formations. Before beginning the installation, it’s essential to prepare the site by ensuring that the area around your pool is properly graded and free from any debris or obstructions. The placement of the waterfall should be carefully planned to ensure optimal water flow and that the feature complements the overall layout of your pool.
The first step in the installation process is to assemble the waterfall unit. Universal Rocks waterfalls typically come in modular pieces that are easy to assemble and position, requiring minimal tools. Begin by securing the base unit in the designated spot, ensuring it is level and stable. Some units may require anchoring to prevent shifting over time, especially if the pool area experiences heavy water flow or inclement weather. After securing the base, attach the upper layers of the waterfall, ensuring that each piece fits securely and seamlessly.
Next, you’ll need to connect the plumbing to the waterfall.Universal Rocks waterfall products are designed to work with standard pool plumbing, and they usually come with detailed instructions for the plumbing setup. The water needs to flow from your pool’s pump system to the waterfall, so it’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines carefully to ensure there are no leaks. For most installations, flexible hoses or PVC pipes will be required to create the proper water flow, and it’s essential to check for any leaks before moving forward.
Finally, once the waterfall is securely installed and the plumbing is connected, test the feature to ensure it operates smoothly. Turn on the pool pump to check for proper water flow, and make adjustments to the flow rate if necessary. If the waterfall includes lighting, such as LED lights built into the feature, you can also test the lighting to enhance the visual appeal during nighttime swimming. Once everything is functioning correctly, finish the installation by covering any exposed plumbing or cables to maintain a clean, polished look. Regular maintenance will be necessary to keep the waterfall flowing smoothly and ensure the longevity of the feature, such as clearing debris and checking for wear and tear.
