Installation Guide
Surfaces must be clean, frost-free, and free of oil, grease, or any other contaminants. Avoid contact with alcohol
and solvent cleaners while curing. For the best results, apply a thin bead of caulking, not to exceed 1/2” in
thickness, to the posive shiplap edge and behind each of the nger tabs. Fill screw holes with GenStone Color
Matched Caulking. Some stones will be a dierent color than the ller. Use GenStone Color Matched Touch-
Up Paint to blend the area to the correct color. Recommended installaon temperatures are 40° - 100° F. The
curing process can take up to 2 weeks.
GenStone Trim or J-channel is recommended around all openings. Secure panel deep enough to protect edge
and cover exposed edges with GenStone Color Matched Touch-Up Paint.
Minor damage to GenStone products can be repaired by painng
over the damaged area with GenStone Color Matched Touch Up
Paint. GenStone Color Matched Caulking or an exterior grade ller
can be used on larger areas needing repair. Blend the area with
GenStone Color Match Touch-Up Paint to match exisng color.
Always keep the posive edge of the shiplap at the
top. Using a polyurethane safe, premium construcon
ashesive (PL-200 or PL-300 is recommended) on
the back of the panels, apply 3/8” bead in a ght
“S” paern. Using your hammer drill, make a pilot
hole before screwing in the concrete anchors. Place
the panel onto the wall and using concrete screws
(Tapcons), screw through the posive shiplap edge.
One screw in each corner of the panel is adequate.
Countersink screw heads 1/8” and ll with GenStone
Color Matched Caulking and Touch-Up Paint. The
screws will hold the panel in place while the adhesive
sets. Screws should be of sucient length to
penetrate the panel and bite into your substrate to
hold ght.
