Andrew Strain transformed his home’s exterior with the stunning Arctic Smoke gray faux slate wainscot from GenStone. This project showcases how a sleek, modern wainscot can elevate curb appeal while providing lasting protection against the elements.

Selecting a gray faux slate wainscot offers homeowners the sophisticated look of genuine slate without the cost and complexity of traditional masonry.
