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 posive shiplap edge and behind each of the nger tabs. Fill screw holes with GenStone Color
Matched Caulking. Some stones will be a dierent color than the ller. Use GenStone Color Matched Touch-
Up Paint to blend the area to the correct color. Recommended installaon 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 painng
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 exisng color.
Adhesive is not recommended for installaon over
gypsum board. Always keep the posive edge of
the shiplap at the top. Drive drywall screws into the
posive shiplap edge about every 8”, countersinking
them up to 1/8” deep. Starng about 1” from the
boom of the panel, drive 2 or 3 screws evenly and
at an upward angle through the face of the panel.
Place screws in the shadows of the panel near a grout
line. Fill screw holes with GenStone Color Matched
Caulking when complete. Use GenStone Color
Matched Touch-Up Paint to blend any area where the
caulking is noceable. Apply a 1/4” bead of GenStone
Color Match Caulking to all posive edges to ensure a
waterght barrier.
