STEP 1: ATTACH STARTER STRIP (see Fig. 6)

• Starter strips are required at the bottom of a wall and across the top of all windows, doors and other openings.

• Attach Starter Strip 1” below the bottom of where you want your stone wall height to start.

• Cut the Starter Strip to the length of wall being covered with ClipStone.

• Have outer layer of Water Resistive Barrier (WRB) positively ashed/layered over top of starter strip a minimum

of 2 inches

• Make sure starter strip is level.

STEP 2: START WITH THE CORNERS (see Fig. 7)

• Starting with the outside corners at the starter strip, install the rst corner by lowering the bottom end of the clip

into the groove of the starter strip and insure it is level.

• ClipStone corners are reversible and can be installed in either direction.

• Alternate each corner left to right (short leg and long leg) up 3 or 4 feet by tucking bottom of clip behind the stone

below and attaching screws in all visible eyelets.

• Tip: Offset corner short leg 3/8 inch off wall to allow for potential settling or house movement.

STEP 3: COMPLETE YOUR FIRST ROW (see Fig. 8)

• Place rst course of ClipStone pieces by inserting the bottom of clip into the v-groove of the Starter Strip.

• Check for level prior to attachment to wall.

• While gently pushing back and down, insert screws into the top of each top eyelets of the leveled stone.

Once secure, the piece of stone should be snug when gently pulling on it.

• Measure and cut nal ClipStone piece in row with a chop saw to t the space at the end of a row. Each piece must

always have two points of attachment. If necessary, cut a few pieces to the left or right of the clips to allow for this.

STEP 4: COMPLETE YOUR OTHER ROWS (see Fig. 9)

• Repeat as above, always starting with the corners.

• Remember to alternate the short and long wing of corners after corners built up several more feet, install at pieces

across the wall from the corner.

• Tip: When installing a new piece, bend top clip forward and tuck bottom legs behind stone below. Then push top of

piece back toward wall. With a gentle pressure back and down, screw piece into wall.

STEP 5: ADDING ACCESSORIES (see Fig. 10)

• 20 inch long Tapered sills are available for capping wainscot or as a window sill to carry water away from windows.

• Where outlets are present, an outlet stone is available to t over a single gang electrical box that has been installed by

a licensed professional in compliance with local building codes.

• Both accessories come with attachment clips and installed with approved fasteners similar to ats and corners above.

• Tip: For tapered sills below siding, it may be advantageous to partially remove rst course of siding to secure sill to wall.

STEP 6: FINISHING YOUR INSTALLATION (see Fig. 11)

• Once you’ve reached your nal top row, nish your project with either a Drip Ledge Stone for a wainscot cap or cut

the ClipStone pieces to t in the remaining area, always trying to maintain two points of fastening to the substrate.

• Cut stone as needed to t both horizontally and vertically (see “How to Cut Stone” on other side).

• If you cut the stone horizontally and therefore remove clip above stone, you will need to use DAP

DynaGrip

Heavy

Duty Max on the bottom edge and 2 side edges. Insert the top piece with adhesive into its proper place and press

rmly into the surrounding pieces.
