MANUFACTURER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GOOD BUILDING PRACTICES
Make sure the product is being applied to a wall or structure that meets all building code requirements. Code-approved
flashing materials must be present at all terminations, penetrations and material transitions. Control water and minimize
penetration caused by roof run off, gutters and downspouts. If there is any question as to the integrity of the wall or water
management principles, contact the appropriate owner, registered design professional or builder for corrective measures.
REPAIR/REMOVE/REPLACE
Using a masonry saw or grinder with a diamond blade and proper personal protective equipment, cut out the area to be
replaced. Take care to avoid damaging the weather resistive barrier behind the panel. Trim new panels to fit the area you just
cut out. Repair any damage to the water resistive barrier, making sure to lap and seal in shingle fashion. Follow the partial
panel installation method to install replacement panel.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
Follow the instructions in the table below to apply Versetta Stone to additional substrates not addressed in the previous
sections. These instructions focus on the recommended fasteners to use for these applications. Except where noted
below, spacing and quantity of fasteners per Flat Panel, Universal Corner, Partial Panel and Accessory all remain the same
as the standard Versetta Stone installation instructions. Fasteners must be corrosion resistant and suitable for exterior
use and exposure. Fasteners must be compatible with galvanized sheet metal. Boral Stone Products LLC recommends
the use of quality, hot-dipped galvanized nails or screws. Boral Stone Products LLC is not responsible for the corrosion
resistance of the fasteners.
