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.
Adhesive is not recommended for installaon over
gypsum board. Always keep the posive edge of
the shiplap at the top. Drive drywall screws into the
posive shiplap edge about every 8”, countersinking
them up to 1/8” deep. Starng about 1” from the
boom 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 noceable. Apply a 1/4” bead of GenStone
Color Match Caulking to all posive edges to ensure a
waterght barrier.
