The Owens family gave their church sanctuary a thoughtful upgrade with a new accent wall using GenStone’s Northern Slate panels. Installed behind the altar, the faux stone wall created a striking focal point that blends beautifully with the church’s traditional design while adding a clean, modern touch. The realistic texture and hand-painted detail of Northern Slate brought warmth and depth to the space—enhancing both the visual and spiritual atmosphere.
Accent walls are a meaningful way to highlight important spaces like sanctuaries, pulpits, or altars—without the cost or disruption of real stonework. In this case, the wall helps ground the room with a natural look while also improving acoustics and overall ambiance. With GenStone, the result feels elevated and timeless, yet completely accessible for churches of any size or budget.
Installation was straightforward and DIY-friendly. Thanks to GenStone’s lightweight panel system, church volunteers were able to complete the project efficiently—no mortar, mess, or special tools required.
Expert tip: On taller walls, stagger your seams and vary panel lengths to avoid visible repetition and keep the finished look as natural as possible.
GenStone panels offer the look of real stone with easy installation and long-term durability. Backed by a 25-year warranty and designed for both interior and exterior use, they’re a smart choice for projects like church accent walls—where beauty, simplicity, and lasting quality matter most.
