General Installation Guidelines
Step 1 Mark the wall horizontally where you want the bottom of the panel to rest and partially drive a nail at one
corner for attaching the chalk line.
Step 2 Go to the next corner and repeat step 1.
Step 3 Attach the chalk line to one corner and pull taut. Make sure the line is level by using a line level.
Step 4 Snap the chalk line.
Step 5 Backset the panel “x” amount of inches from the edge depending on the corner that will be used. For
mitered corners both sides of the corner should be cut from the same panel, this will cause the individual
stones to wrap around the corner.
Step 6 Starting from the left, take a full size panel and place the bottom of the panel on the chalk line, screw and/
or glue the panel to the substrate following the appropriate instructions explained in the “Fastening System
Application” section of this manual (page 3-4)
Step 7 Make sure that the panel is level. Working left to right continue installing panels in the bottom course mak-
ing sure every panel is level and attached accordingly. The last panel of the row should be cut “x” amount of
inches from the edge depending on the corner that will be used, if no corner will be used then measure to
the edge of the wall and cut.
Step 8 f your wall requires multiple rows of panels; start the next row by taking a piece you originally cut off to use
at the start of your next run or offset each row by a half sheet. This will make pattern repeats less notice-
able. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until project is nished.
Step 9 Scratches and small damaged areas can be touched up easily. Not all colors supplied are necessary for the
touch up job. Size, color and depth of damaged area will determine which touch up colors to use. Note: You
might have to mix different colors to achieve different shades. Add water as needed.
• Dilute latex touch up paint with about 30% water in a small plastic or paper cup
• Apply a small amount of diluted paint to moist cloth, brush, sponge or Q-tip. Dab into desired area. If applied to undamaged areas,
wipe quickly with clean damp cloth. Start with lighter colors rst, let color dry 10 to 15 minutes before applying the darker colors.
• Wipe excess paint off immediately. It is better to apply a small amount in translucent shades and darkenthe area gradually to blend
in. Keep dabbing and blending with a damp cloth until repair area blends in with its surroundings.
