Use and Care Manual

2.1.2 Medium Stones:

For stones that are between

10” and 18” long and less than

5” tall, apply three or more

16-gauge stainless steel ﬁnish

nails at slight angles on the left,

right and the center along the

horizontal centerline as depicted

in the image at right

2.1.3 Large Stones:

For stones that are larger than

5” tall, apply two rows of nails

following the patterns described

above based on their lengths as

depicted in the image at right:

Notes:

1. The EVOLVE stones must be pressed ﬁrmly against the mat. Hold the stone true, straight,

tightly against the mat and pin nail into place. Evolve has speciﬁed the minimum nailing

pattern. It may be necessary to install additional pin nails to allow for a ﬁrm and stable feel,

tapping the installed stone with your hand will ‘show’ the stones requiring more nails.

2. It is critical water is allowed to drain from behind the Evolve Stone. It must not be directed into

water sensitive areas

1.3 Install Sills (Optional)

Beginning at the corners, make cuts or miter as necessary. Fasten the sill pieces through the face

using two exterior (or more as necessary) grade self-tapping trim screws centered 4” from each

end. Recess the screw slightly below the face of the stone.

Pro-Tip: Using a color

matched exterior grade

polyurethane sealant, ﬁll

any screw countersink

holes or ﬁll the gaps

bridging two abutting sills.
