SK - STACKED STONE
3-Never hammer the nails in completely; leave a gap of
1/16”(0.16cm). The stoppers located around the holes stop
the hammer from driving the nails in too far, and provides the
required gap. (Figure 2)
4-Make sure that all pieces are proprely joined together
(Figure 3).
Note:
-To cut the material, it is recommended to use a circular saw
with a finishing blade.
-Keep the R-E-L number of your products (ex: REL-123456)
for future references.
1-Always begin the installation at the lowest part of the
structure, from left to right.
5-When using finition trim (i.e. NovikTrim1, J-trim, etc.) leave a
gap of 1/4”(0,64cm) between the trim and the siding (Figure 4).
The required opening for finition trim is 1”(2,54cm).
2-Always nail through the installation holes. These holes
include a polymer film, which permits for precise centering of
the nail, allowing the expansion and contraction of the material.
Each complete panel must be nailed through the center hole, at
both extremities and have a minimum of 5 nails in the nailing
channel at maximal intervals of 16”(40,64cm) or less and one
nail in the lateral hole (Figure 1). If panels are installed on a
furring wall, furring strips should be at 8”(20,32cm) center to
center and a furring strip is required behind each nail. Always use
non-corrosive nails or screws with a head of 0.4”(1cm) in diameter
and a body of 0.150”(0,38cm) in diameter and penetrate a
minimum of 1 1/4”(3,18cm) into a solid surface.
