Lightweight material allows you to easily cut and assemble the composite panels. Looks great.

Woodpeckers love this stuff
To start this product was damaged during delivery and several panels had the
outer tabs broken. Genstone describes this product as durable high density
polyurethane / composite. They should just say Foam because thats what it is.
I like the look so I installed on the front of my home and was hoping for the best
as far as it holding up over time. Well its been up for only a few months and I found
out the Woodpeckers love to tear this stuff up and I have lots of holes now.
Big regrets

No Way
Got this thinking it would work for our house. terrible product and very deceitful company. You’ll notice all pictures of this product installed are from a slight angle. Even the instructional videos. Nothing straight on. Because the pieces do not blend well together at all. You can see every seam and separation of the pieces. I followed every instruction to a T and it looked awful. It was only $200 more to have a professional install real stone on my home.

Great product in the Texas heat so far
I really wanted to include the look of stone in my project without having to employ a mason to install it (not to mention the expense). So I was very excited to learn about these faux panels. They were easy to install and so far, have endured Texas temps up to 108°.

Easy to use
I’m updating a mobile home to look more like a house and less like a trailer. This is a great product with one main issue. The panels are not staggered at the ends. It would be great if the stone looked like it was rough instead of a straight cut on the ends, I’m going to go back with caulk and paint to try to fix that. For now, it’ll do.

Fireplace corner
This product is wonderful. We completed our fireplace corner in a day, however i miscalculated and was one piece short. Anyway, we are finally done and it looks beautiful. Fairly easy to install, a little tricky if your walls/corners are not square. Overall, we are thrilled! Now we just need our stove!

Possible improvements?
I experienced damaged panels, which some I used and kind if regret using. I did get replacements for 6, which came in a reasonably timeframe. My next project I would pay more attention to each panel before installing, because I noticed mold flashing left on some of the nail or overmold portuons that doesnt allow the panel to sit level or flush against the panel below and is noticeable after completion. For the cost I thought the panels should of been cleaner for lack of a better word on the surfaces that touch the adjoining panels.. the shipping boxes with extra corner support is badly needed. I would like to try this product again and could find more applications if the cost can be lowered. I have had great reviews from people who have seen it. I just know where the flaws are from installing it. There has to be a better way to blend from panel to panel, so you cant see where they are. Seams are definitely noticeable if you look closely. These are just suggestions.

Excellent Product
I was skeptical when I purchased this product sight unseen. But, I must say I was totally impressed. It is a very dense foam and it is very hard, seems very durable. It is also easy to apply. I used a miter saw and a table saw to make all the cuts. Some cuts I finished with a hand saw. The product went on easily with sheetrock screws and Loctite PL Premium glue. I used it to make a new fireplace surround, and I am very impressed (photo attached).

I was happy with this. Used it as backsplash and an accent wall in a new laundry room. It looks very real. Anyone who has seen it thought it was real stone.
It was easy to use. I did all my cutting with a table saw and miter saw. It did get a little messy. As far as fastening, I used 18gauge Brad nails for most of it. I used a screw here and there. It did not require painting. It was very easy to hide them.

Overpriced
I bought 1 of each color I liked to see how an actaul panel would look on siding and maybe flashing, as opposed to getting small samples. they look good and are somewhat well made, just feel like they'll break easily if not handled carefully. my main problem with these is the price for the sqft coverage. I got these on sale for $49.49 even that's too much and the regular price is $54.99. these are way overpriced. For bigger projects for the amount these would cost I can put up real stone.

I'm disappointed to hear our panels were not the right choice for your project. I'm surprised to hear you can install real stone for the same price, in almost every area of the country GenStone is 50% less than real stone when you consider the total on the wall cost.

One simple way to get that stacked rock look
We bought an order of Genstone panels and pieces to accent our Alaska cabin. We just put the panels on the bar inside, and it made all the difference

Turned out very nice, we
Turned out very nice, we used it to cover concrete foundation on our new home. Did not order trim or ledger instead used a solid pvc trim that was just a fraction of the cost and turned out great. The advertised from box to the wall in minutes is a little off. If you are installing on wood and you have experience in carpentry I can see in minutes but if installing on concrete and have no experience plan on longer than minutes. All in all it took two days for our project and will wait and see on the long term durability. As of now I would recommend this product to others.

Stratford panel Front Door/Garage Transformation
We found the online information and photos excellent. At first we ordered samples, but decided to get 2 different color full panels to make our final choice. We worked with Kevin and sent measurements and photos. He made an excellent suggestion regarding the inside corners which we are glad we ordered. The materials came quickly and Kevin followed up on a missing box that arrived 3 days after first. He communicated through whole process which was great. The material went up fast and the change was dramatic. We are so happy with our front door/garage transformation with the Stratford stone panels! Mike U
