INSTALLATION DIAGRAMS
• Faux stone siding should be climatized for 24 hours prior to installation and should be stored
flat to prevent bowing.
• Due to textured front, it is recommended that all measurements be marked and cut on the flat
backside of the panel.
• Siding panels interlock at each end and along the top / bottom for a seamless look. Some-
times the rst panel will need the “ngers” trimmed off to create a straight edge.
• Panels should be installed onto a clean flat dry surface.
• The panels should be installed from the bottom corner in a straight line. It is very important
that the rst role of panels is level and straight for best outcome. Always install the panels in
full rows working your way up. If the floor is not perfectly straight, the bottom of the panel may
need to be slightly trimmed to ensure a straight and level installation.
• When installing the siding, we recommend staggering the panels.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear proper protective gear.
Follow power tool and adhesive instructions, and user manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
1. Measure the space, layout panels in horizontal row and
make any cuts needed.
Pro Tip: Shimming the panel to install level is recommended
for a seamless t. Panels must be installed from bottom up
and the entire row should be completed before starting the
next.
2. Apply a generous amount of construction adhesive to
the back of each panel. Press the panel rmly onto the
mounting service and screw or nail the panel into place.
Pro Tip: Screws / nails should be installed along the tongue
among other unnoticeable places. If you need to conceal a
screw hole, ll with wood ller and once dry apply touch up
paint.
3. Once the rst panel is in place, repeat the processes
above ensuring that each panel ts tightly and straight
against one another. Stagger the panels from row to
row for a natural stone pattern look.
4. For lasting beauty, we recommend painting the installed
siding with a quality UV/fade resistant, exterior varnish.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Approximate adhesive needed: 4 Panels = 1 tube of
construction adhesive
- You can miter the full panel or use inside/outside corners
to transition through a 90º corner.
- Trim sills are designed to butt up against the top of the
panels for a more complete and waterproof seal.
- Matching eletrical covers are available too for a more
professional nish.
