Installation Instructions

OVERHEAD APPLICATION

Overhead, horizontal or sloped applications are not included in our building code evaluation reports or acceptances.

These applications often require special approval/inspections by local building code inspectors. Contact your architect

or engineer for assistance designing these installations.

INSTALLATION OVER THICK FOAM

Installation over foam board thicker than ⁄" may require special fasteners. Consult your architect or engineer for

assistance designing a thick foam installation.

USE OF MODULO STONE BELOW WATER LEVELS

Modulo Stone veneer is a lightweight concrete material and will not deteriorate from exposure to fresh liquid water. The use

of Modulo Stone veneer below water level, in which the water is chlorinated, treated with chemicals or dirty, will likely cause

discoloration as it would on any concrete, natural stone or other material. Pool chemicals which contain acid, such as muriatic

acid, may cause damage to Modulo Stone products, which would not be covered by the 50-Year Limited Warranty. Modulo

Stone veneer and many other materials are subject to potential damage from adverse freeze thaw conditions. For that reason,

water should be drained below susceptible materials prior to freezing temperatures. Pressure and abrasion from constant fast

flowing water may cause some surface deterioration as it would on other concrete materials. The surfaces of concrete and

many other materials may be affected by exposure to extensive saltwater conditions. Modulo Stone veneer should not be

considered a waterproof material.

CAPPING OFF THE EXPOSED TOP OF EXTERIOR WALLS,

CLADDING TERMINATION OR TRANSITIONS

To achieve a finished architectural look on horizontal or sloping top areas of exterior walls, piers, retaining walls or other

surfaces, Modulo Stone capstones or a poured-in-place concrete cap must be used to provide adequate run-off protection to

the wall areas. Caps should extend approximately 1"–2" beyond the finished stone surface. Sill stones, flashings or band

boards provide overhang at cladding terminations or transitions.

Note: Modulo Stone corner pieces, flat pieces, or hearthstones should not be used to cap walls.

RETAINING WALLS

All retaining walls must be waterproofed at the fill side. Wall construction should incorporate proper use of granular backfill

and provisions for good drainage. A continuous longitudinal drain along the back of the wall set in drain rock is recommended.

CHIMNEY CAP

All chimney chases must be capped with a one-piece cap that extends 1"–2" beyond the finished stone surface to prevent

water from entering the wall system. Chimney or chase construction should incorporate proper flashing.
