Installation Guide

PREPARATION
GenStone Products are designed to be applied to any at structural substrate that is clean and free
of debris. Lay the panels, trim and ledgers on the ground in front of your wall to plan where each
piece will be used. The overhanging brick (in red) is always on the bottom. Make sure to stagger the
connections throughout the wall to avoid visible seams. Do not install GenStone during periods of
extreme temperature swings and always follow the guidelines of local codes.
Working from left to right, slide the next panel into place without attaching it and make a mark for
your cut. Use a straight edge and marker to draw a cut line on the back of the panel to follow with
your hand or power saw.
MEASURE AND MARK
CUTTING TO SIZE
• CIRCULAR SAW: Panel at (back) side up, be sure to protect the face (front) of the panel
• TABLE OR MITER SAW: Place the panel front side up before running it through the saw
• HAND SAW: Place the panel at side up, protect the face of the panel while cutting
• SMALL CUTS: When making precise cuts to account for hose bibs, electrical boxes, electrical
outlets and other installation obstacles, we recommend using a hand saw, utility knife, drywall
saw or jig saw. Sandpaper or a rasp can be used to le a small area to size after making the cuts.
The manufacturing process can leave strands of foam on the face and at the edge of the panels.
These are easily removed by hand or corrected by trimming with a utility knife or sanding.
