building code and the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
6.2. Wood-Framed Walls
6.2.1. Versetta Stone
®
shall be installed over nailable structural sheathing capable of resisting 100% of the
design wind loads and shall be attached, at a minimum, in accordance with Table 1.
6.2.2. Versetta Stone
®
may be installed with (an) intervening layer(s) of continuous insulation and attached in
accordance with Table 1.
6.2.3. Each Versetta Stone
®
panel shall be installed with a minimum of four (4) fasteners as follows:
6.2.3.1. Two (2) of the fasteners must be installed into the wood stud framing and penetrate a minimum of 1"
into the framing.
6.2.3.2. The other two (2) fasteners must be installed into the nail base and must protrude out the back side of
the nail base a minimum of ½".
6.2.4. Fastener sizes shall be in accordance with Table 1 or generally accepted engineering practice.
6.3. Steel-Framed Walls
6.3.1. Versetta Stone
®
shall be installed over sheathing capable of resisting 100% of the design wind loads and
shall be attached, at a minimum, with screws in accordance with Table 1.
6.3.2. Versetta Stone
®
may be installed over (an) intervening layer(s) of continuous insulation and attached in
accordance with Table 1.
6.3.3. Each Versetta Stone
®
panel shall be installed as follows:
6.3.3.1. Two (2) fasteners must be installed into the steel stud framing and penetrate a minimum of 3 threads
into the framing (i.e., one fastener into each stud covered by the Versetta Stone
®
panel).
6.3.3.2. Two (2) fasteners must be installed into the nail base and must protrude out the back side of the nail
base a minimum of ½”. Where nailable sheathing is not used, Versetta Bridging shall be used to
transfer loads to studs.
