Adhesive Guidelines

To fasten Evolve Stone products to the wall with adhesive, apply a ½" to ¾"

diameter bead of exterior grade STPE type adhesive vertically in the

arrangements depicted below based on the stone’s size. Press the stones firmly

into place maintaining an appropriate drainage plane. The stone once adhered

must maintain an 1/8" air gap between the stone and the substrates. Avoid

pressing the stones completely flush onto the substrate. Do not create large

globs, horizontal lines or zig-zag patterns.

See Details #13 and #14

3.4.5.1

Short Stones:

For stones that are less than 8"

long, apply two, evenly spaced,

beads vertically onto the back

of the stone on the left and

right sides of the stones as

depicted in the image at right:

3.4.5.2

Long Stones:

For stones that are greater

than 8" long, apply three

or more beads as required,

evenly spaced not more

than 6" apart as depicted

in the image at right:

Note:

More beads may be used if necessary, to ensure a firm connection to the wall. The

bead’s thickness may vary to contour the back surface of the stone. Keep beads more

than 1" away from the outside edges of the stones. Do not impede the drainage plane.
