INSTALLATION OVERVIEW


1. Start by installing the outside corner unit. Use a level to make sure both sides of the stone corner are level. If the wall does not have an outside corner then cut off the keys off the first panel and install tight to adjacent wall. Install minimum of 3 screws per side of corner for interior corner projects. Adding adhesive and a few more screws is recommended for external applications.	2. Next install interlocking 4ft x 8ft panel into keys of corner unit. Push the panel tight into the corner unit to close the gaps in the mortar joints of the keys. Occasionally the keys may require filing or sanding to optimize the fit.	3. Typically 12-16 screws are recommended for exterior applications (less screws are needed for interior projects). Use a level chalk line or box level to ensure each panel installed is level. Also, adhesive is recommended for exterior applications in addition to screws. Make sure the screws are recessed slightly below the surface.

4. Continue adding panels until you get to the last end termination panel (the opposite corner or wall from the starting point). Measure the distance from the termination point to the inside of key of the previously installed panel. Measure the top and bottom horizontal distances between the previously installed panel and termination point to determine if cut needs to be square or slightly different from top to bottom when the panel is cut.	5. Before cutting the termination panel, stand it up in a place in front of the last installed panel and make sure that the keys of the installed panel and new panel is in the correct side in order to properly interlock together. Then mark the panel (starting with the outside key) with the measurement determined in step 4. (Again determine if the cut needs to be square or slightly tapered to fit tightly.) Using a circular saw or jig saw or hand saw cut the panel.	6. Add the cut termination panel into place and use 9-10 screws in grout line of the panel (if possible). Also, use glue with the panel if it is going to be used in exterior applications.

7.To provide a finished termination on top of the stone panels ledger trim is typically added. It is recommended to start at a corner . If the corner is an outside corner then the ledge should be mitered with a 45 degree angle on each side of the outside corner.	8.One of the final steps is to use the colored textured caulk to fill in the recessed area over the screws and to fill in any gaps in keys between the sections. Touch up paint may be optional on some colors to make sure the caulk matches the original paint color.
