BASIC TOOLS /EQUIPMENT
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Always wear safety glasses for eye protection. Wearing a dust mask is recommended.
HAND TOOLS
Circular saw with steel or carbide tip
blade. (NextStone™ does not dull
blades and does not require a special
blade). 4' level, tape measure, chalk
line, power or cordless drill with 4"
bits or extension, framing square or
speed square, jigsaw or saber saw,
wood rasp, and caulking gun.
FASTENERS
For exterior applications, good
quality deck screws or stainless steel screws are recommended. Concrete applications
require mechanical fasteners such as Tapcon™ and possibly an adhesive for additional
support (adhesive is not required for installation). There are numerous products on the
market, such as concrete screws, to accomplish this as well as new adhesives which may
not require mechanical fasteners. For Interior Applications, flat head screws are
recommended depending on substrate. The length of the screw will vary depending on
the panel thickness or accessory piece being installed. Verify length under section
specific to product being installed. Using the screw guide points, screw through the
substrate and into a stud when practical, with a minimum of 6 screws per panel and a
screw no less than 1" from each end of the tongue as well as in the bottom right
corner of the tongue. Plumbers tape is used to install outside cor ner s (non flush).
Allow 1 roll for 4 outside corners.
ADHESIVE
The use of adhesives are optional, however they may allow for an easier installation
process. NextStone™ recommends the use of a good quality polyurethane adhesive
such as Sonneborn CX- 948, PL Premium Construction Adhesive or Sonneborn
Premium. Most construction based adhesives are not compatible with polyurethane and
should never be used. The surface where the adhesive is to be applied must be sanded
and cleaned prior to applying the adhesive in a vertical application. If using an adhesive
other than those NextStone™ recommends, test on a panel prior to beginning an
installation is advised.
