PREPARATION GenStone Products are designed to be applied to any flat structural substrate that is clean and free of debris. The positive shiplap edge (red below) always goes on the top. Stagger the connections throughout the wall to avoid visible seams.
ATTACHING PANELS, CORNERS AND FINISHED EDGES 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.
ATTACHING TRIM For exterior projects, start with an “S” pattern of construction adhesive on the back of each trim piece. Adhesive is not recommended for interior projects with a drywall substrate. Before attaching the trim, run a bead of Big Stretch caulk along the side of the trim piece where it will come into contact with other GenStone Products or obtrusions such as electrical boxes. Ensure the Product is level before fastening the trim with screws in the face of the trim as outlined below.
