Installation Instructions

4
Starter Strip
Add the length of each wall plus the width of all doors and windows to calculate
the total length of starter strip needed (refer to the inside cover of this guide).
Door and Window Trim (check availability)
Calculate the sides and top of all windows to abtain the required length of the
window trim, add them together. Repeat this step with the doors.
Furring Strip 1” x 3” (19mm x 64mm) or 1” x 4” (19mm x 89mm)
Make sure you have enough furring strips to overlay all of the framing studs, and
enough to wrap around all windows and doors.
Window Sill / Wainscot Cap
Measure and record the width of each window separately to determine the total
length of window sill needed. Order enough sills so that you can use larger
pieces under each window, with as few joints as possible.
Construction Adhesive
Use PL® Premium polyurethane construction adhesive or equivalent.
Corner Block
Measure the height of each wall at the corner (in feet) and multiply by the
coverage factor (refer to the inside cover of this guide) to find the number of
corner blocks needed. Add 10% for waste.
Housewrap
Calculate the area for all of the walls add them together to obtain the amount of
housewrap needed.
Corrosion-resistant Screws
Calculate 1.5 screws per sq. ft.. This will give you enough screws to attach the
furring strips and the Novabrik.
For coastal areas (less than 5 miles (8 km) from the ocean) or near any corrosive
environment (e.i. highways) use stainless steel fasteners.
When attaching the veneer’s wood furring strips to preservative-treated wood,
fasteners should be of hot dipped zinc coated galvanized steel.
