Answers To Common Questions About Our Rock Cliff Panels
Below, please find answers to questions commonly asked by visual merchandising professionals about our lifelike rock cliff panels which are popular back-to-nature props with them, special and mobile event planners, and retail, exhibit and trade show display designers for temporary, permanent, indoor and outdoor themed environment projects.

expand How can the rock cliff panels be used by visual merchandisers?

Imagine if you could easily and cost-effectively crane in a huge chunk of the face of a dramatic rock cliff weighing thousands of pounds to create rugged scenery for temporary or permanent retail store floor and window displays, trade show exhibits, theatrical standee backgrounds, themed special events, mobile experiential marketing tours and other uses.

Now it's possible with our lightweight rock cliff panels!

Visual merchandising and design professionals see our rock cliff panels as the ideal "anchor" or accent to set the mood for active lifestyle fashion, equipment and gear retail floor and window displays accompanied by one or more mannequins with backpacks, on mountain bikes, hiking alone or with a partner, picnicking, camping or preparing to challenge the mountain with climbing rope and accessories.

Silk plants and/or trees, artificial snow, fake boulders and leaves, hanging banners with related outdoor scenery (i.e., pine trees, roaring river, etc.) and any number of other elements can be designed into a display around the rock cliff panels to create the season and complete the back-to-nature display.

expand How are the replica rock cliff panels made and shipped?

Molds for the panels are meticulously taken from actual rock cliffs found in nature so our customers are guaranteed a finished product that looks like the real thing...even from inches away.

The latest technology is then used to spray an industrial-grade, UV-protected structural polyurethane composite--the same material used for high-impact bumpers in the automotive industry and a variety of other common durable products--into the castings to capture the original surface detail and to create rugged reproductions that are approx. 2-3 inches thick.
Our faux rock cliff panels won't chip, crack, peel or break. Although they're primarily used by visual merchandisers for indoor displays, because they're made from a 98% closed-cell polyurethane, they are waterproof and can withstand the elements outdoors in any type of climate.

The rock cliff panels are shipped via common carrier on pallets. For larger quantity orders, we are able to ship to a central fulfillment warehouse or to individual retail locations nationwide.

expand Are they durable for displays or exhibits?

Our faux rock cliff panels are ideal for both indoor and outdoor displays or exhibits. Our boulders made from the same material are designed to withstand 250 lbs. of weight and are guaranteed to endure the rigors of retail traffic, including the inevitable touching and feeling from curious passersby.

expand How are the faux rock cliff panels colored?

Our master artisans airbrush the rocks with fine layers of high-quality, exterior-grade acrylic paints to replicate a natural palette of three color choices: Earthtone, Granite and Red Rock. Touch-up color is available upon request.

expand How can the rock cliff panels be mounted or hung?

Depending on the application, visual merchandisers can screw eye hooks into the back of the rock cliff panels to hang them for window or floor display backdrops. They can also be permanently or temporarily mounted against walls with screws.

expand Can logos or signs be mounted into the rock cliff faces?

Absolutely! For quantity orders, our design and fabrication group has the ability to create branded logos, signs or other images in a variety of materials that can be mounted directly into, or on, the face of any rock cliff panel depending on the desired purpose and effect. Visit our contact page to get in touch with us to discuss using our products as unique elements of your visual merchandising project.

expand Are you able to create custom panels that are taller or wider for our project?

Most certainly! We specialize in designing and fabricating all types of retail props for window and floor displays, trade shows, exhibits and other permanent and temporary venues so adding ledges, making the rock cliff panels taller or wider, or customizing them in any way is within the possibilities for larger quantity orders. Contact us to talk about your specific needs.

expand What maintenance is required? Will the color fade? Can it be touched up?

The rock cliff panels require no specific maintenance. Although those who display the rock cliff panels permanently outdoors appreciate how the color fades slightly over the years to give them a more realistic aged appearance, others customers tell us they have applied a water-based sealer on their rock cliff panels after 2-3 years years to "refresh" the color.

expand Can the rock cliff panels be drilled or cut?

Yes...the rock cliff panels can be drilled for mounting signage or hangers using drill bits specifically designed for woodwork or--if cutting small holes in the rock cliff faces--with a saw equipped with a blade with fine teeth only for the sharpest cuts and best results.

expand What's the typical turnaround time for an order?

The amount of time it takes to process an order depends on the quantity desired, whether customization is required, and the number of orders already in-house and scheduled for production at our factory. Estimates depending on the size of the order and for shipping are provided upon request.

It's our goal to work closely with our clients to meet any deadlines they might have as best possible. Call us at toll-free at (877) 652-1815 ext. 10 (Valley Monuments, Inc.) to discuss your specific needs.
