What happens here

The presenter clarifies the natural composition and coloring process of the artificial rock. The panels are molded directly from real rock, capturing authentic textures and details. Importantly, the coloring is achieved not with paint, but by incorporating crushed rock into the material. This method ensures that the color is integral to the product, offering superior fade resistance and a highly realistic, natural appearance that will endure over time.

Goal: Learn how the material is made and colored for a realistic and durable finish.
