Installation Guide
Damage of any kind resulng from inadequate or improper
installaon is not covered by warranty. For the best results,
create random paerns with staggered joints. When planning
your paern, keep in mind that there are four paerns of
panels. For the best results, avoid placing similar paerns
side-by-side or directly above or below each other. To do this,
sort out panels and lay them out before starng each row.
Stagger the vercal seams and check that horizontal lines are
uniform in width and spacing between panels. Check for level
with each row. Make sure to use adequate sealants and/or
nishes when joining other products and around penetraons,
windows, or doors. GenStone Color Matched Caulking should
be used between the shiplap edges to adhere panels together
ensuring a good seal. GenStone Color Matched Touch-Up
Paint should be used anywhere custom cuts are made.
GenStone products are designed to be applied to a
variety of substrates. Regardless of the substrate,
the surface should be clean and free of debris. The
posive shiplap edge always goes to the top side. As
you layout your wall, you will it your GenStone panels
to the building, which will rarely be square or true.
This will require small modicaons to the panels
(especially on your rst/boom row and corners).
These adjustments can be made by trimming with
a ulity knife or by using sandpaper to ensure an
accurate installaon.
GenStone panels require very lile maintenance and should be cleaned using
warm water and mild soap. Water pressure from a garden hose and the use of a
so bristle brush is sucient. Do not use a pressure washer, parculate or sand
blasng device, or harsh chemicals. GenStone Panels have a clear coat sealant
applied during the manufacturing process that should be reapplied every 5
years. Aquaseal Wet Look by Monochem is what was originally used. This must
be a water based solvent free sealant to apply by manufacturers’ instrucons.
