PANEL INSTALLATION
STACKED STONE PANEL
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 installation is required.
1) Paneling the wall using Window Door Trim as termination
molding.
Install Window and Door Trim (WDT) to both ends of the wall. Insert
panel into starter strip and slide behind WDT. Attach to the wall using
the screw indicator marks on the top and right end tongues. Firmly press
the next panel against the first panel and repeat working left to right. At
the end of the course; cut the right end of the final panel to fit behind
WDT. Use the drop off from that panel to start the new row behind the
left end WDT. If necessary, cut some additional length from the off fall
pieces on some rows to prevent panel ends from lining up vertically.
2) Paneling a wall using a WDT as a termination molding on the left
Dry fit the first corner into the starter strip. Secure with screws if necessary. Moving from
right to left: dry fit panels tightly across the wall. Cut the left end of the final panel behind
the Window Door Trim or flush to the wall. If not using WDT, remove the dry fit panels
and corner piece. Panel the wall from left to right. Reattach corner over right panel. Re-
peat on each row.
3) Paneling a wall with outside corners on the right and left
Dry fit Stacked Stone Corners on the left and right. Secure panels
moving towards the center from both directions. Cut a panel to meet the
remaining measurement. Finger joints on either the left panel or the right
panel will need to be cut to accommodate the final cut piece. Secure the
cut piece into the allotted space and screw in to secure all panels. Using
the fall off of cut panel, secure the finger joints on the end to other left or
right corner and begin the next course as described above. (Fig. 2)
4) Dry fit panels from left to right (Fig. 3,4,5,6)
Cut first panel on the left to fit flush against the left wall. The final panel in the course may
need to be cut to fit properly flush to the “right” wall. Us the off cut panel to begin the
second course at the left. Repeat this method to complete your wall.
