Dave’s Stacked Stone Veneer Fireplace

Dave’s Stacked Stone Veneer Fireplace

Dave Mount updated his living room with a stacked stone veneer fireplace using GenStone’s Kenai panels, creating a clean, natural focal point that fits right in with the rest of his space. The texture and color of the Kenai finish add just enough contrast without overpowering the room, offering the look of real stone without the weight or cost of traditional masonry.

Stone veneer is a practical way to add character to a living room, especially when you want a material that feels timeless but still works with modern finishes. GenStone’s panels are lightweight and designed for easy installation, making them a smart option for projects that don’t need to be overly complicated or expensive.

Dave completed the project himself using basic tools and simple instructions. The interlocking panels make it easy to get a clean, finished look without gaps or heavy lifting. Pro tip: Install your mantel first, then butt the stone panels up to it. Finish the edge with caulk for a more seamless appearance.
