Installation Guide

For exterior projects, start with an “S” pattern of construction adhesive on the back of each Product.
Adhesive is not recommended for interior projects with a drywall substrate. Ensure the Product is
level before fastening the Products with screws where the brick tabs from the next panel will conceal
the fasteners as shown below. Next, feel throughout the face of the panel for any ex, if you notice
any ex between the panel and the substrate, eliminate the ex with a screw in the face of the
Product. This fastener can be hidden under a brick and concealed later with color match caulking and
paint. The last step before repeating the process with the next Product is to run a bead of Big Stretch
caulk where the next brick tab will slide into place to create a water tight connection.
ATTACHING PANELS AND CORNERS
• PANEL AND HALF PANEL: Centered in each area where the tabs (horizontally overhanging
bricks) from the next panel will conceal the fastener.
• CORNERS: Centered in each area where the tabs (horizontally overhanging bricks) from the next
panel will conceal the fastener.
For exterior projects, start with an “S” pattern of construction adhesive on the back of each trim
piece. Adhesive is not recommended for interior projects with a drywall substrate. Before attaching
the trim, run a bead of Big Stretch caulk along the side of the trim piece where it will come into
contact with other GenStone Products or obtrusions such as electrical boxes. Ensure the Product is
level before fastening the trim with screws in the face of the trim as outlined below.
ATTACHING TRIM
After attaching a panel or corner, you may notice it is difcult to slide the next panel into place. To
slide the next panel or corner into place, simply loosen the fasteners slightly, slide the panel or cor-
ner into place and then tighten the fastener again before sliding the panel or corner into its place.
