Pro-Tip: Open multiple boxes before installing
to verify
stone colors. If color varies, blend boxes
of
stone together prior to installation. Stones shoudl
be installed in staggered lifts in
the same
direction.
Pro-Tip: Avoid installing
the same size stone adjacent to one another if possible.
Pro-Tip: Stagger
stones to avoid long running
vertical seams.
Pro-Tip:
Depending on
the stone style selected, avoid long running horizontal seams.
Pro-Tip: Tap the stones square with a hammer
and ensure they are positioned in a level fashion.
Pro-Tip: When a
stone needs
to be removed, use a small pry-bar to carefully remove the stone
from the substrate and snip
the exposed nail flush with the back of the stone. No need
to
remove the embedded portion of the fastener. These stones may
be reapplied, but DO NOT CUT
THESE STONES.
Pro-Tip: In the case of inside corners, install the more visible plane before moving on to the
adjacent wall. Bury your cut ends into the exposed substrate, then install the stones on the
adjacent wall.

2.5 Cutting Evolve Stones
When installing the stones, there will be instances where cuts are needed. To do so,
first measure the desired length and pick out a stone that is larger. Mark the desired
dimension on the stone and cut to the correct size.
Caution: Contains trace amount of crystelline silica. Dust may create hazardous
conditions. Refer to OSHA cutting standards with regards to crystelline silica. Always wear
a properly fitted NIOSH approved N-95 series respirator when modifying or cutting.
Pro-Tip: Mark the face of the stone after measuring, use a speed square to continue
your mark across the whole face of the stone. Lay the stones with the flat side facing
downward, cutting safely through the face.
Pro-Tip: Texture the smooth cut surfaces by marring the surface with the use of a
hammer (waffle head hammers work great)
Pro-Tip:
In the case of highly visible cuts, clear exterior sealants such as Thompson’s
Water-Seal can be used to restore color vibrance.
