GenStone Metal Building Siding
GenStone can be installed directly over your existing metal building siding to dramatically improve the curb appeal of your steel building and even increase the R-value of your steel building siding. Use our online calculator to see how much GenStone you need for your metal building or tap Project SOS to request a customized quote and rendering of your building with GenStone on it.
Installing GenStone Over Steel Building Siding
Measure • Cut with Any Saw • Attach with Screws
Starting at any corner of your metal building siding, cut 1″ x 2″ furring strips to the height of your GenStone install. Attach the furring strips to your steel building siding with construction adhesive and self-tapping screws. This will create a level installation surface and bridge the gap between the high ribs.
Installation Considerations
GenStone Siding for Steel Buildings
Installing GenStone over existing metal building siding is basically the same process outlined in our step by step installation videos featuring Zach and Amanda from our support team.
GenStone can completely cover your metal building siding or partially cover the siding in the form of a wainscot or skirting project. If you choose to partially cover your steel building siding, closure strips will be required to ensure a weatherproof install.
Metal or neoprene closure strips can be purchased from your local hardware store or through your metal building siding supplier. Closure strips are installed along the top row of any partial wall of GenStone in order to close the gap between the metal ribs and the back of the GenStone panels.

"I bought this a few months back for the fireplace. I was able to install it this past weekend. I still have to caulk and touch up paint. It looks awesome and was very easy to install. I viewed the videos before starting. They were a great help. Had more trouble figuring out the layout to install logs in fireplace than putting this up."

Jagger Gottschalk

"Military friendly customer service is extremely willing to go the extra mile for you… The product truly has the appearance of real stone… I have a corner fireplace that I did so ends needed to be cut on a 45. Their dimension are spot on with what they say on the website as well. I had a general contractor working with me on… my house and he too was amazed at the product.”
Josh Warren
Project Coordinator
Josh was fantastic in helping me with the delivery process and any questions we had. The panels really look like natural stone and it was worth the investment.
