PAGE 1
Installation Guidelines Exteria Building Products provides these instructions as general guidelines only. Exteria Building Products neither installs siding nor has any control over any installation. The contractor and/or installer shall be responsible for ensuring that all applicable local building codes are followed, which may require modification of these general guidelines.

BASIC GUIDELINES 1. Always work from left to right, completing installation on one wall before beginning another. Always starting at the lowest point of the structure. 2. As with any plastic composite exterior building materials, Exteria Building Products panels will expand and contract with a change in temperature. Therefore, during installation it is necessary to position the panels properly to compensate for temperature effects.

INSTALLATION STEPS STEP ONE Install the starter strip at the lowest point of the structure. The structure’s solid substrate must be no less than 7/16” thick. The strip should be positioned 3 1/2” from the wall corner allowing for the width of the corner piece or molded corner. Nail the starter strip every 12”. Make sure the starter strip remains level. Figure 1 STEP TWO If using vinyl corner posts, install the post prior to installing any panels.

Figure 3 STEP FIVE Drive a fastener straight through the substrate while ensuring that the head only makes light contact with the panel. This allows the panel to move with varying temperatures. The panel requires a minimum of eight (8) fasteners per panel (figure 4). For high velocity wind areas, a fastener is required in each nailing slot.

and allow the panels to seat themselves. The stop posts are designed to prevent buckling due to changing temperatures. Reminder: Be sure all locking fingers are properly engaged. Figure 7 STEP SEVEN As with any plastic exterior building material, the Stacked Stone panel will expand and contract with a change in temperature. Therefore, during installation it is necessary to position the panels properly to compensate for temperature effects.

STEP NINE Exteria J‐channels may be used for inside corner treatments. Panels may be scribed and cut to fit into the corner (Figures #9 & 10). It is recommended to sleeve the corner with vinyl or aluminum coil prior to installation of panels. Caulk corner after installation. Figure 9 Figure 10 STEP TEN When completing a wall, face nailing may be necessary. If face nailing is employed, pre‐drill a hole in an inconspicuous area, such as a mortar joint.

complete. Note: The last molded corner to be installed in a column may need to be cut to fit the remaining space in that column. INSTALLING STONE LEDGE TRIM Stone ledge trim installs over the top course of panels BENDING LEDGE TRIM Stone ledge trim can be installed around a corner. Because of the different shape of the ledge trim, a v‐ notch must first be cut at the point where you plan on bending it (Figure #12). Once the v‐notch has been cut, the trim may be heat‐bent and installed.
