Versetta Stone

Panelized Stone Veneer

Applications Using Continuous Insulation

Over Concrete or Masonry Walls

3.1.5. To determine the ability of various fasteners to support the gravity and transverse loads induced by the

products when installed over concrete and masonry construction with the addition of continuous insulation

installed between the framing and the Versetta Stone

3.2. Use in applications requiring a fire-resistance rating are outside the scope of this evaluation.

3.3. Any code compliance issues not specifically addressed in this section are outside the scope of this evaluation.

4. Product Description and Materials:

4.1. Versetta Stone

is a non-structural, fiber-reinforced, cement-based masonry wall cladding that is mechanically

attached to masonry or concrete walls.

4.2. The panels have a simulated stone veneer surface.

4.3. The panels measure 36.4" long x 9.5" tall and 1.8" thick and have tongue-and-groove edges that engage

adjacent panels.

4.3.1. The finished exposure of the panels is 8" x 36".

4.4. A 0.0217"-thick painted G90 galvanized steel nailing flange is molded along the top edge of the panels for

attachment to the substrate.

4.5. The bottom edge and the ends of the panels fit together using tongue-and-groove technology.

4.6. The panels have an installed weight of approximately 8.5 psf (17 lbs. per panel).

4.7. Additionally, the stone veneer panels are supplemented with various accessories (such as starter strips,

bridging, corner pieces, etc.) to aid with installation.

5. Applications:

5.1. Versetta Stone

is used as an exterior wall covering in accordance with the applicable sections of IBC Chapter

14 and IRC Section R703 and is installed over concrete and masonry walls capable of supporting the imposed

loads in accordance with IBC Section 1609 and IRC Section R301.2.1, including all required transverse wind

loads.

5.2. Versetta Stone

is also used as an exterior wall covering installed over concrete and masonry walls where the

walls are over sheathed with continuous insulation.

5.3. Fasteners for gravity loaded single shear connections for this installation are as shown in Table 1.

5.4. Versetta Stone

shall not be installed in areas where the design wind pressure exceeds the capacity of the

cladding and its attachment to resist the load in accordance with Table 2.

5.4.1. See Table 3 for wind pressures associated with V

ult

per ASCE 7-10.

5.4.2. Table 3 is provided as an aid for designers in determining the allowable wind pressures for Versetta

Stone

panel installation. Wind speeds are included for both V

ult

and V
