3.1 Pre-Assembly Requirements
3.3.5.2 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:
3.3.5.3 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.
To fasten Evolve Stone products to the wall with adhesive, apply a ½” to ¾” diameter bead of
exterior grade Tremco TREMGrip 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.
