Laura’s Faux Stone Wainscot Makeover

Laura Hatcher gave her home’s exterior a dramatic upgrade with GenStone’s Iron Ore Wainscot panels. The project delivered instant curb appeal with the bold, modern look of faux stone—without the mess, weight, or cost of traditional masonry. The deep, charcoal tones of Iron Ore add a sophisticated accent that pairs beautifully with a wide range of home styles.

Faux stone wainscoting offers more than just great looks—it also provides practical protection for the lower portion of exterior walls. GenStone’s Iron Ore panels deliver the high-end appearance of natural stone at a fraction of the cost, making it a smart, budget-friendly choice for homeowners seeking both style and durability.

Like all GenStone products, Laura’s panels were designed for fast, DIY-friendly installation. The lightweight, high-density polyurethane panels are easy to work with and require no mortar or special tools. Expert tip: Use GenStone’s ledger when applying panels to a flat wall for a clean, finished edge that gives your project a polished, professional look.
