The fireplace makes a home feel warm and welcoming, and it can create a natural focal point in the living room. GenStone customer Marne’s fireplace was old and dreary-looking, not something you wanted to look at. When Marne decided to upgrade his fireplace surround and transform it into a central focal point in the room, he used our Desert Sunrise Stacked Stone panels to complete the DIY project. As you can see in the before and after photos, the DIY fireplace surround brought the room to life. Marne loves that the faux stone brought a warm color to a predominantly white room, making it pop and draw the eye.
Part of what drew Marne to GenStone is the ease of installation. We designed our products for DIYers of any skill level, so it was easy for Marne to complete the fireplace surround project. Marne even found a hack for measuring his panels in an oddly shaped section that can help future GenStone customers.
Depending on your project’s size, you can finish installation in a single weekend, including a project like Marne’s DIY fireplace surround. The lightweight panels allow you to complete a project without professional help – saving you time and money!
GenStone’s faux stone panels are an excellent addition to any project for your home or business. Our panels are easy to install and cast from natural stone, ensuring an authentic look and feel.
Each faux stone panel is produced by compressing a combination of polyurethane and color oxides into our proprietary stone molds. The result is the most authentic stone veneer product in the industry.
