Estimating Amount of ProPanel

Pieces Needed

ESTIMATING CORNER STONES

Measure the height of all corner edges to estimate

the total linear feet of corners needed.

ESTIMATING FLAT PANELS

Calculate wall area you want to cover with stone

(height X width) and subtract area of window and

door openings (if applicable). Add sufﬁcient material

for waste due to cutting or breakage.

Subtract sufﬁcient material from your flat stone

calculation to account for wall coverage of corners.

ESTIMATING STARTER STRIP

ProPanel Starter Strip is required at the bottom of all

walls and across the top of all windows, doors, and

other openings.

Measure the total width of all window widths, door

widths, and wall lengths where ProPanel will be

installed to estimate the total linear feet of Starter

Strip needed.

ESTIMATING WINDOWSILLS AND WAINSCOTS

Sill stones are 20” long. Measure total linear footage

of windowsills and winscots (if speciﬁed). Divide the

total linear feet by 1.6 to estimate the number of

sills needed.

Special pieces, such as outlet covers, are available if

desired. Please consult the manufacturers literature

for availability.

ProPanel Installation Instructions

Recommended Tools

Philips head screw gun

Levels: 4-ft and 1-ft

Chalk line/reel

Stapler and staples to fasten your

weather resistant barrier

Chop saw or hand grinder including

a masonry blade. Wet saw and a

masonry blade may also be used.

Personal Protective Equipment,

including:

• Gloves

Hand chisel

Rubber mallet

Cable cutters

Required Fasteners

1-1/4” #8 galvanized exterior grade

pan head lath screws, rated for the

appropriate structural member (wood,

steel stud, or masonry) are required.

Depending on our project you

will need:

3 screws per square feet of flats

3 screws per linear feet of corners

5 screws for each piece of starter strip

(1 screw per square foot)

Suggestions:

Order 5-10% excess square footage for flats and

5-10% excess linear footage for corners to account

for waste, cuts, and breakage

ProPanel Before You Begin BLEND STONE PIECES Before you begin installation, lay out sufficient corner stone pieces and flat stone pieces to ensure a natural look and color blend. HOW TO CUT PROPANEL PIECES Cut ProPanels pieces both horizontally and vertically with a chop saw, wet saw with a masonry blade, or hand grinder with a masonry blade. ProPanel flats shall not be cut shorter than 6 inches and have less than two points of attachment via original eyelets at the top of the stone.

ProPanel Fig.3 STEP 3: COMPLETE YOUR FIRST ROW OF FLATS (see Fig. 3) 1. Lay out your ProPanel flats, pulling from your blended stone pieces, ensuring you are mixing your long and short pieces for a blend of colors and sizes. 2. Ensure you are installing ProPanel left to right. 3. Install the first row by bending the bottom clips up until they are flat behind the stone, then fit the panel snug against the bottom of the starter strip. 4. Check panel for level prior to fastening to the substrate. 5.

ProPanel Clean and Upkeep Cleaning Dos and Don’ts ProPanel is manufactured using the same natural materials used in traditional adhered masonry veneer. As such, routine care and maintenance is required to ensure the beauty of the product endures. Routine cleaning is permissible; however, the use of pressure washing or high-power washing has the potential to damage the finish and color of the stone, and thus will void any manufacturer’s warranty.
