Mike Exterior Stone Veneer Chimney
Mike Aumand gave his home’s exterior a clean, updated look by covering his chimney with GenStone’s Northern Slate panels. The result is a natural-looking stone finish that fits right in with the rest of his house—no mortar, no heavy materials, and no need to hire a mason. The soft gray tones of Northern Slate add just the right amount of contrast and texture without feeling overdone.
A stone veneer chimney is a simple way to boost curb appeal without a full remodel. It adds structure and character to your home while holding up well against the elements. Unlike traditional stone, GenStone panels are lightweight, low-maintenance, and built to last—making them a practical choice for projects where you want impact without complexity.
Mike handled the installation himself using GenStone’s interlocking panel system. No special tools, no mortar—just lightweight pieces that go up quickly and stay in place. Expert tip: Use corner pieces to wrap the chimney edges for a clean, finished look that feels intentional rather than patched together.
Why GenStone
GenStone offers an easy way to add stone details to your home without the usual cost or mess. Backed by a 25-year warranty, the panels are durable, DIY-friendly, and available in a variety of styles to fit different homes and budgets.
