 Evolve Stone must be installed into a minimum of a 7/16" OSB or 1/2" plywood that is 
structurally attached to the studs placed at 16" O.C. 
The  sheathing  must  be  placed  and  secured  by  code,  APA  instructions  and  the  manufacturer’s 
instructions.  This  substrate  must not be  water  or  moisture  compromising  or  degraded  by 
the 
other environmental conditions. 
Evolve Stone must be nailed to a sound structural sheathing intended to receive and hold pin nails.
Evolve Stone requires a fully installed water and airtight WRB system prior to the install of the

sealants, doors and windows must be properly installed, made water and airtight, properly flashed 
and integrated into the WRB system per code and manufacturer's details and instructions.
