Installation Guide

Some installaons may require a new

negave shiplap edge to be cut into a

piece. This can be done with a table saw,

router or router table, or if neither are

available, a circular saw preferably with

a guide. Use a panel to determine the

height (on the table saw) or depth (with a

circular saw) to set the blade. This should

be equal to the horizontal cut of the

shiplap edge (approximately 1”). Once

the blade is set, make the cut, then reset

the height or depth to match the depth

cut of the shiplap edge (approximately

1/2”) eecvely cung a rectangle of

material out of the corner. A router or

router table can also be used to remove

this material leaving the new negave

shiplap edge.

The screw used for shoong through the ledger will be longer than the screws used for panel installaons in

order to provide good bite into the substrate. We recommend 2.5” screws. To install a piece of ledger, apply

adhesive to the back of the ledger and to the top of the posive shiplap edge of the panel that is already

aached to the substrate. Then t the negave shiplap edge of the ledger down onto the posive edge of the

panel. Proceed by placing screws at an angle through the face of the ledger at both ends, counter sinking the

screw 1/8”. Connue by shoong the longer screws in the center of the ledger through the face, countersinking

1/8”. Once installaon is complete, GenStone Color Matched Caulking should be used to cover any line

between ledgers and to ll all screw holes. Use GenStone Color Matched Touch-Up Paint to blend colors.

Measure the gap from le to right. Measure from grey to grey. Do not measure the ngers. This respresents

the overall panel length that should be cut. When cung a panel to t, you will want to use the factory edges

on each of the end and cut what needs to be removed from the middle of the panel. Be sure when making your

cut to cut in a place that will be cung through the bricks not the mortar. Mark your panel on the back side and

cut to size. Once you have your panel cut down to the correct lengths, install to you substrate. Paint all exposed

foam with GenStone Color Matched Touch-Up Paint. Install as previously directed.
