Installation Guide
STEP 4: FINISHING
You have several options for nishing out the last row of your projects and we recommend when possible to install the Universal
Trim and Transition molding rst.
Universal Trim: Universal Trim a 2”x20” trim piece that can be used in many different ways,
depending on your project. It can be used to nish the top of a project area, to trim around
windows and doors, or to butt the stone to another surface. (Use a polyurethane construction
adhesive to attach the Universal Trim).
CTS - Chiseled Top Sill: The Transition Molding can be used to butt one material up to
the stone. It’s an excellent way to dress up your project. (Use a polyurethane construction
adhesive to attach)
Piecing the Stone: Cut to height and use a Polyurethane Construction Adhesive to attach the stone. The structural railing system
may need to be cut to ensure a tight lock and nish. In some situations pre-drilling a pilot hole may be necessary to attach the last
course with a mechanical fastener (i.e. galvanized screws).
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
• Do not over tighten the screws
• Check often that your stones are level - chalking lines can help with this
• Use a rubber mallet to tap stones into place when necessary
may need to be slightly backed out to allow the next stone to lock into place in certain situations.
• When necessary, stones can be adjusted up or down to ensure a level course
• Broken or cut stones are not waste, simply cut the remaining pieces into a usable stone and apply as normal.
• Cut edges can be chipped, roughed or painted to help hide the unnatural looking cut edge.
• Hide your cuts by simply cutting and placing the cut side away from high visibility and angles.
• Start your project in your least visible/high trafc area, so that by the time you have completed a few rows you will be a pro.
• When using M-Rock’s Receptacle Stones, install that rst and work you way towards it cutting the stone to t ush against
the receptacle stone. Continue that row with a new piece on the other side of the receptacle.
