Evolve Stone must be installed into a minimum of a 7/16" OSB or 1/2" plywood that is
structurally attached to the studs placed at 16" O.C.
The sheathing must be placed and secured by code, APA instructions and the manufacturer’s
instructions. This substrate must not be water or moisture compromising or degraded by
the
other environmental conditions.
Evolve Stone must be nailed to a sound structural sheathing intended to receive and hold pin nails.
Evolve Stone requires a fully installed water and airtight WRB system prior to the install of the
drainage mat and pin nailed stone.
The WRB system includes flashings, self-adhered joint tapes, flashing tapes, liquid applied WRBS
sealants, doors and windows must be properly installed, made water and airtight, properly flashed
and integrated into the WRB system per code and manufacturer's details and instructions.
The Evolve Rainscreen ensures a clear drainage and drying path.
Note:
Interior installation may
require the OSB to be
painted black or a dark
fabric or paper placed prior
to the install of the Evolve
Stone.
