Michael’s Faux Rock Fireplace Upgrade

Michael Wisnieski recently gave his living room a major upgrade by installing a faux rock fireplace using GenStone’s Kenai panels. The result? A rustic, refined centerpiece that completely transformed the feel of the space. With its natural texture and warm earth tones, the Kenai finish added the cozy character Michael was looking for—without the mess, weight, or cost of real stone.

Michael wanted a fireplace that felt both inviting and stylish. Traditional masonry was out of the question due to the time, expense, and structural requirements. GenStone turned out to be the perfect alternative—each panel is cast from real stone molds and hand-painted, giving it a convincing, high-end look that’s hard to distinguish from the real thing.

What really sealed the deal for Michael was how easy the installation was. The lightweight panels are designed for simple DIY projects—no mortar, no special tools, and no professional help required. He was able to finish the entire fireplace in just a few hours. That meant more time enjoying the new look and less time dealing with renovation stress. A bonus? The minimal mess made cleanup a breeze.

Why GenStone

Michael chose GenStone for its perfect mix of convenience, durability, and design. Backed by a 25-year warranty, the panels are built to last and hold up beautifully in everyday home environments. Whether you’re updating a fireplace or tackling a larger wall project, GenStone makes it easy to get a professional finish—on your own schedule and budget.
