Installation Guide
Some installaons may require a new negave 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”) eecvely
cung a rectangle of material out of the corner. A router or router
table can also be used to remove this material leaving the new
negave shiplap edge.
The screw used for shoong through the ledger will be longer
than the screws used for panel installaons 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 posive shiplap edge of the panel
that is already aached to the substrate. Then t the negave
shiplap edge of the ledger down onto the posive 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”.
Connue by shoong the longer screws in the center of the
ledger through the face, countersinking 1/8”. Once installaon
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 cung 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
cung 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.
