Installation Guide

IMPORTANT NOTES

Compared to real or cast stone, NextStone™ polyurethane products are designed for an

easier, quicker installation requiring fewer steps. Masonry skills are not required. This

Manual provides basic guidelines for NextStone™ installation. Additionally, it is

recommended that Installers review applicable building codes for specific products and/

or geographic areas. This publication is not intended to provide specific advice, legal or

otherwise, on particular products or processes. Readers should consult with their own

legal and technical advisors, suppliers, and other appropriate sources including but not

limited to product or package labels, technical bulletins and sales literature that contain

information about known health and safety risks. NextStone™ does not assume any

responsibility for the users non-compliance of applicable laws and regulations.

This Installation Manual should be used as a guide for installation of NextStone™

Products. It is the responsibility of the Contractor and/or the Installer to ensure panels

are installed in accordance with these instructions and any applicable building codes.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for either improper installation or personal injury

resulting from improper use or installation.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

All panels must be stored flat, in the box, at 65° Fahrenheit when possible, until ready

for installation. While polyurethane has minimal expansion and contraction, the effects

of expansion and contraction can be minimized by avoiding installation during periods

of extreme heat or cold. Do not store in direct sunlight before installing.

INSTALLATION BASICS

Never leave cut edges of NextStone™ products exposed. Exposed Polyurethane will

discolor with exposure to sunlight. Use NextStone™ touch-up paint or other color

match with a good quality latex paint. 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.

ACCLIMATION

All products must be allowed to acclimate. Heat and moisture cause

expansion. Best results are obtained by installing cool, dry product.

NextStone™ does not warrant against gapping caused by expansion and

contraction.
