Installation Guide

Panel Every 6-8 inches along the top positive shiplap and 2-3 fasteners evenly spaced along the right
positive shiplap. Face screws are recommended, especially if any ex is detected.
Corners 2 evenly spaced fasteners in the top horizontal 12 inch positive shiplap and 2-3 evenly spaced
fasteners in the two vertical 12 inch positive shiplap edges. 2-3 evenly spaced fasteners in both
horizontal 6 inch positive shiplap edges. Face screws are recommend
Finished Edges 2 evenly spaced fasteners along the positive shiplap edges. Face screws are required in the face of
the Product as well as one fastener in the nished edge.
For exterior projects, start with an “S” pattern of construction adhesive on the back of each Product. Adhesive is not
recommended for interior projects with a drywall substrate. Ensure the Product is level before fastening the Products with
screws along the positive shiplap edge as outlined by Product below. Next, feel throughout the face of the panel for any
ex, if you notice any ex between the panel and the substrate, eliminate the ex with a screw in the face of the Product.
This fastener can be hidden under a stone and concealed later with GenStone eXact Color caulking and paint. The last
step before repeating the process with the next Product is to run a bead of GenStone Big Stretch caulk along the positive
shiplap edge. The caulking creates a water tight connection and helps prevent movement.

For exterior projects, start with an “S” pattern of construction adhesive on the back of each ledger. Adhesive is not
recommended for interior projects with a drywall substrate. Run a bead of GenStone Big Stretch white caulking in the
recessed niche of the ledger where it will connect to the panel. Ensure the ledger is level before fastening it with evenly
placed screws in the face of the ledger as shown below. After the ledger is secure, create a water tight connection to the
substrate where the ledger meets the wall by running a bead of GenSton Big Stretch or eXact Color caulking between the
wall and ledger.
