Kenny’s Faux Slate Fireplace Surround

For this stunning fireplace transformation, Kenny Hanby selected the GenStone Arctic Smoke Fireplace panels to create an inviting and modern faux slate fireplace surround. The project showcases how GenStone’s realistic textures and cool grey hues can elevate any living space, giving the fireplace a sleek, contemporary look while preserving the warmth and comfort of the room. The natural stone appearance of the Arctic Smoke panels blends seamlessly with various décor styles, making it a standout feature in Kenny’s home.

Choosing a faux slate fireplace surround offers homeowners the beauty of real slate without the cost and complications of traditional masonry. GenStone’s faux slate panels are expertly cast from real stone, then hand-painted to capture the nuanced tones and textures of genuine slate, delivering a sophisticated finish that’s both durable and visually authentic. This makes it an ideal solution for anyone looking to upgrade their fireplace with minimal hassle and maximum impact.

GenStone’s DIY-friendly design made Kenny’s installation process straightforward and stress-free. The lightweight panels are easy to handle and fit together seamlessly without the need for mortar, saving significant time and effort.

Expert tip: Adding a ledger to the top of the chimney adds a decorative element to the ceiling, providing a polished, professional touch to the finished surround.
