Genstone Installation Review | DIY Faux Stone

During these quarantine days, I have been doing lots of home improvement projects including a Genstone installation of faux stone siding on the front of the house. The sun shines directly on the lower half of the house, which caused some chipped paint to start (you will see in the video) so I began researching solutions and came across their product. I would highly recommend that you order directly from the company and not the big box hardware stores because you will get a better idea of when your materials will arrive. This is important especially during the state of shipping right now. The faux stone project was completed in one day and all I needed were the following tools below. I enjoyed this project because it was quick, easy, and I could be creative with my decor for fall and Thanksgiving. If you have any questions about the project, leave them in the comments below. Good luck on your project if you are considering Genstone for your next home project. LIKE and Subscribe! Be safe and many blessings to you.
Tools I used for this project:
GenStone Faux Stacked Stone Panel 41" x 11.25" in Desert Sunrise - amzn.to/3ZK7Pgy
Hand saw - amzn.to/2V2Xzzu
Level - amzn.to/3l2L7dT
Cordless Power Drill - amzn.to/2UYGAhR
PL Premium Construction Adhesive - amzn.to/3nTAb3Z
Deck screws - amzn.to/373XAsI

I placed the paper and stone directly over my siding and I did find the studs where possible the the PL Premium - Polyurethane Construction Adhesive keeps everything intact as additional support. I have no issues.

Hello Shana, yes, I covered the siding with the black waterproofing paper. My siding did not have to be removed since it provided a smooth surface but I wanted more protection from any possible rain water. Overall, you need a smooth surface to apply Genstone and the galvanized screws are holding up great and nothing has harmed the siding. The Genstone is still going strong.

Under the window that long vertical seam stood out to me, did you by chance accidentally have the edges of the panels lined up? Or was that just the designs in the panels just happened to land there giving the appearance of a long vertical seam?.... i ask because I've used quite a bit of versetta stone on projects was looking to this as a possible alternative that would be more affordable for some customers, But under the window Immediately grabbed my eye making it look like it's not real stone, so I'm Just wondering if that was accidental and I should still consider this product or if that's just how it looks in some spots and being that this is not a large project it would appear in more areas on a large wall

I purchased 20 stone siding panels and 5 of the stone strips that go across the top.

@SelenaThinkingOutLoud 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Abe, I ordered my panels in Sept 2020 and they were $39.99 each. At that time the trim siding was $24.99 each.The color is Desert Sunrise. Keep in mind, the price may be a little higher now. I would purchase them directly from Genstone because I went through Home Depot and they just sent the purchase order directly to Genstone anyway. You will know better when your order will arrive with regards to shipping. Also, Genstone can help you best decide how many panels you need and the cost. They have a variety of colors and designs on their website and you get their warranty. Good Luck on your project :)
