NUMBER OF FLAT STONES (see Fig.1)
Calculate wall area to be covered with stone (height X width) and subtract area of window and door
openings (if applicable). Then add 5% - 10% additional stone material for waste due to cutting or breakage.
NUMBER OF CORNER STONES (see Fig. 2)
Measure the height of all corner edges to determine the total linear feet of corners needed. Add 5%-10% for waste.
Also subtract 50% of the corner linear feet from your at stone calculation to account for wall coverage of corners.
AMOUNT OF STARTER STRIP NEEDED (see Fig. 3)
Starter strips are required at the bottom of a wall or across the top of all windows, doors and other openings.
Measure the total lineal dimension of all window widths, door widths and the length of all walls to be stoned to
calculate the total linear feet of starter strip needed.
NUMBER OF OUTLET STONES
If you have electrical outlets in your wall or project space, count the number of outlets and order an Outlet Stone
for each outlet.
NUMBER OF DECORATIVE SILLS FOR WINDOWS
Measure lineal foot dimension of window sills needed under windows and to cap a wainscot.
Divide the total linear feet by 2 to calculate the number of pieces.

FOR EXTERIOR WALL PREPARATION (see Fig. 4)
• ClipStone is designed to install over 7/16 inch or greater OSB or plywood sheathing attached to wood
or metal studs.
• If any questions as to the structural integrity of the sheathing or framing, contact a qualied contractor
or building inspector.
• Install two layers of Grade D Breathable Water Resistive Barrier over sheathing and fasten to wall with
staples or other means.
• Ensure all paper edges are ashed to substrate to prevent moisture movement to back of WRB.
• Ensure all openings and penetrations are properly ashed.
• Ensure compliance to all local and national building codes as they change from location to location.
