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, countersinking 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 represents 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.
