Use and Care Manual

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Handling & Storage:

Versetta Stone

should be transported and stored in the original

shipping package until ready to use. When sub packs are removed,

transport and store with top (nailing flange) up.

Cleaning:

Cutting dust and general construction dust can be removed with

clean water and a nylon bristle brush.

Inspect your Versetta Stone periodically for excessive buildup of

dirt and other debris. Stubborn buildup may require the addition

of a mild detergent or a granulated general detergent and a soft,

nylon bristle brush. When using a detergent, be sure to rinse the

area completely with a garden hose. Do not allow soapy water or

detergent to dry on Versetta Stone.

Oil & Grease:

If installed in an area where oil or grease splatter may occur (such as

a kitchen backsplash or behind a cooktop), it is recommended that

Versetta Stone be sealed with a water based product such as Silane

or Siloxane. These sealants typically last about four years before

needing to be reapplied. Be sure to follow any application, care and

cleaning recommendations issued by your sealant manufacturer in

addition to the guidelines outlined here.

Salt & De-Icing Chemicals:

All concrete and masonry materials are vulnerable to damage by

salt and de-icing chemicals. Do not use salt or de-icing chemicals

on the product or in areas adjacent that may splash onto it. See

warranty for more details.

Panel Repair/Replacement:

Using a masonry saw or grinder with a diamond blade and proper

personal protective equipment, cut out the area to be replaced. Take

care to avoid damaging the weather resistive barrier behind the

panel. Trim new panels to fit the area you just cut out. Repair any

damage to the water resistive barrier, making sure to lap and seal

in shingle fashion. Follow the partial panel installation method to

install replacement panel. See complete Versetta Stone Installation

Instructions for further details.

Cleaning with the wrong chemicals or materials may remove

color or impact the long-term durability of your Versetta Stone.

We DO NOT recommend these practices.
