Installation Guide

Make sure to use adequate sealants and/
or nishes when joining other products and
around penetraons, windows, or doors.
GenStone Color Matched Caulking should be
used between the shiplap edges to adhere
panels together ensuring a good seal. GenStone
Color Matched Touch-Up Paint should be used
anywhere custom cuts are made.
GenStone products are designed to be applied to a
variety of substrates. Regardless of the substrate,
the surface should be clean and free of debris. The
posive shiplap edge always goes to the top side. As
you layout your wall, you will t your GenStone panels
to the building, which will rarely be square or true.
This will require small modicaons to the panels
(especially on your rst/boom row and corners).
These adjustments can be made by trimming with
a ulity knife or by using sandpaper to ensure an
accurate installaon.
GenStone panels require very lile maintenance and should be cleaned
using warm water and mild soap. Water pressure from a garden hose
and the use of a so bristle brush is sucient. Do not use a pressure
washer, parculate or sand blasng device, or harsh chemicals. GenStone
Panels have a clear coat sealant applied during the manufacturing
process that should be reapplied every 5 years. Aquaseal Wet Look
by Monochem is what was originally used. This must is a water based
solvent free sealant apply by manufacturers’ instrucons.
