Installation Instructions
MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS
MANUFACTURED STONE VENEER
1. Environmental StoneWorks stone veneer is engineered from Portland cement, light weight
aggregates, mineral oxide and chemical additives. The product is engineered to achieve a
specied strength, color, texture and resistance to effects of weathering.
2. Environmental StoneWorks manufactured stone veneer is engineered in various shapes and
patterns to simulate natural stone and is installed in a non-load bearing veneer and trim
capacity (e.g. drip ledge and quoins, caps etc.).
3. Thickness: ⅝” to 2⅝”
4. Weight: maximum of 15 lbs. per square foot
5. Environmental StoneWorks manufactured stone veneer product integrity test results are
available upon request
FLASHING / WEEP SCREEDS / CASING BEAD / MOVEMENT JOINTS
The weep screed should be corrosion resistant metal minimum 0.019” or No. 26 galvanized sheet gauge,
or a plastic weep screed minimum 0.050”, and with a minimum vertical attachment ange of 3½” wide. All
ashing and metal detail pieces should be manufactured of corrosion resistant material.
Verify that all ashing, including roong kickout ashing, have been properly installed. Although roof
ashings are not part of the wall cladding system, they are necessary for proper moisture management.
Flashing material should extend above horizontal terminations, roong material and drainage planes or
drainage products. All ashing material should be integrated with water resistive barriers to prevent
moisture penetration into structure. The WRB should overlap the weep screed ange.
A minimum ⅜” space, adequate sealant, and optional casing bead should be utilized where there is concern
for dissimilar material separation.
Control Joints & Expansion Joints – Do not install manufactured stone veneer over these joints.
