BRICK PANEL INSTALLATION
Metal Starter Strip - Determine at what height above grade level you want the
panel to sit. Measure up 2 ¾" from this point and strike a level line. (Fig. 1)
Determine which type of wall installaon is required.
1) Paneling the wall using Window Door Trim as terminaon molding.
Install Window and Door Trim (WDT) to both ends of the wall. Insert panel into starter
strip and slide behind WDT. Aach to the wall using the screw indicator marks on
the top and right end tongues. Drive the rst screw on the right side of the panel at
a 45 degree angle to drive the panel to the right and minimize gapping between
panels.(Fig. 2) Firmly press the next panel against the rst panel and repeat
working le to right. At the end of the course; cut the right end of the nal panel
to t behind WDT. Use the drop o from that panel to start the new row behind
the le end WDT. If necessary, cut some addional length from the o fall pieces on some rows to
prevent panel ends from lining up vercally.
2) Paneling a wall using a WDT as a terminaon molding on the le
Dry t the rst corner into the starter strip. Secure with screws if necessary. Moving from right to le: dry t
panels ghtly across the wall. Cut the le end of the nal panel behind the Window Door Trim or ush to the
wall. If not using WDT, remove the dry t panels and corner piece. Panel the wall from le to right. Reaach
corner over right panel. Repeat on each row.
3) Paneling a wall with outside corners on the right and le
When there are 2 outside corners with no break in the wall (no window or door opening), panels may need
be cut if the wall will not accommodate full panels. On each course, work from le to right and dry t as
described earlier. Decide on each course which panel to cut. Dry t full panels from each end unl less than
one panel length remains in the middle. Measure from the rock edge on the right side of the le panel to the
le edge of the right panel (Fig. 3). Cut the nal panel to this length. (Stagger the placement of the cut panels
up the wall to avoid vercals line.) (Touch up any exposed Polyurethane edges with a NextStone™ Touch
Up Paint Kit and Caulk) (sold separately) Apply caulk to the seam and let dry. Next apply the base color(Fig 4
and 5). Aer using the base color, highlight the seam with the accent color. For the accent color, take the
brush and rub it on cardboard rst unl the brush is “dry”. Then apply light strokes across the area unl the
amount of highlight desired is reached. Try to match the surrounding brick for best result. (Fig. 6)
