ACCENT ROCKS (for Random Rock Panels only) 
Step 1 - Designing the wall 
There are 6 unique Accent Rocks to incorporate into any installation, 3 colors of the 
large Accent Rock and 3 colors of the small Accent Rock (Lava Gray has only 1 color 
so there are 2 unique rocks). The installation of Accent Rocks can be random (for 
example 2 Random Rock (RR) Panels, 1 large light Accent Rock (LAR), 1 RR panel, 1 
small Medium Accent Rock (SAR), 3 RR panels, 1 small Accent Rock (SAR), 2 RR 
panels, 1 large dark Accent Rock (LAR). Or 
make a pattern which repeats through out the 
installation (for example, 2 RR panels, 1 large dark 
AR, 2 RR panels, 1 small light AR, 2 RR panels, 
1 Large medium AR, 2 RR panels, 1 small dark 
AR, 2 RR panels, 1 large light AR, 2 RR panels, 1 
small medium AR). The installer must lay out the 
job to utilize the four Random Rock panel  
configurations properly plus utilize the Accent 
Rocks. While this installation takes a little more 
planning and preparation the end result is a unique 
installation which is more realistic and effectively conceals joint lines between panels.  
Step 2 - Installing the Accent Rock. 
Install Random Rock panels up to the point where the first accent rock is needed. 
Follow Random Rock instructions for installing the full Random Rock panels. Starting 
from the left, take an Accent Rock panel and lock the bottom groove into the starter 
strip tongue (if Accent Rock is on the bottom course) or the panel tongue on the course 
below the one being worked on. Slide the Accent Rock panel to the 
left so the accent rock lap locks over the random rock panel side 
shiplap joint. Using the screw guide points, screw through the 
substrate and into a stud, when practical, with 4 screws for the 
large Accent Rock and 3 screws for the small Accent Rock. 
Working left to right continue installing Random Rock panels until 
another Accent Rock panel is needed.
