Installation Guide

SLATESTONE PANEL INSTALLATION, Cont.

Another Option for paneling a wall with outside corners on the right and left (More skill

required) Working from the left outside corner (OC), seat the 1st panel against the OC

and down against the starter strip, continue as described in section 1. Place the right

OC in place for measurement. Place a weather barrier cleat such as black tar paper,

Tyvek or the equivalent to the substrate behind the joint. Measure the last piece on the

row and cut this panel using the “T”

design for the male tongue. Use an

existing panel as a template. A

carpenter knife and sabre saw is

necessary. Attach against the OC and

secure both pieces. Caulk the joint if

necessary and use touch up paint. Work

the right corner from left to right as

described in section 1. Work the left

OC as described in section 2.

Slatestone panels have 8 unique panel configurations with a number, 1 through 8,

molded into the back of the panel. Avoid racking the panels by placing like numbered

panels next to or on top of each other.

The illustration below shows a random installation using drops from the

previous course to start each new course. If there are no drops, randomly cut the

starting panel to length.

Using the Slatestone Outside Corners to make Columns

Please refer to the instructions on page 40 and 41 when using Slatestone Outside

Corners to make a Column.

Important: Drive the first screw on the right hand side of the panel at a 45 degree

angle to the left in order to tighten the panel into adjacent the panel, corner or wall.
