Our products install very easily and only require typical

wood working and simple construction tools such

as the following:

Key Tools:

• Circular saw (cordless or corded) – with ne ply-

wood blade – this is best tool for cutting straight line

cuts.

• Jigsaw – with ne tooth blade – this is a good versa-

tile tool for trimming, cut outs, straight cuts (does not cut as straight typically

as a circular saw.

• Oscillating cutting tool – very versatile tool that is typically is better than a

jigsaw for trimming and cutouts and quick adjustments.

•Cordless drill / screw gun

Other Tools

•A level to ensure your rst row is level.

• A small rubber mallet – optional.

•A caulk gun.

•Small paint brush

Making Straight Cuts

In instances where access to a table saw is not available, a guide fence is recom-

mended when straight and precise cuts are required . is is especially impor-

tant for areas that have tight ts and when mitering inside and outside corners.

•Square / tape measure

•Saw guide with clamps

•Grinder with masonry

wheel

1.0 Tools Required

2.0 Setting Up A Level Line

It is advised that you start the project by setting up a level

line across the wall that you are applying the panels to. Af-

ter the rst course has been installed level, the subsequent

levels should remain level. When adding URESTONE on

multiple sides of a building, before starting the project,

determine the lowest and highest point on the project and

adjust the rst installation level accordingly. In the case of the example in the drawing , if you

were to install a 42” wainscot panel at point “A” it would be at full height at that point, and cut

at a slope towards point “B”. one would cut the bottom panel to t slope of the ground level. At

the front of the building, point “B” to point C and the panels for the entire front side might be

cut at 36”.

Always review your local building codes for specic preparation of the substrate wall

prior to applying URESTONE. Should you have any questions about or on the prepara-

tion, please contact your local building code oce. e Manufacturer has provided these

suggested instructions as an installation guideline. e manufacturer does not oer any

installation services other than these guidelines, nor has any control over the installa-

tion of URESTONE panels. It is the responsibility of the general contractor and/or the

installer to ensure that the URESTONE products are installed in accordance with these

instructions and any applicable building codes.

SHORT INSTALLATION GUIDE Always review your local building codes for specific preparation of the substrate wall prior to applying URESTONE. Should you have any questions about or on the preparation, please contact your local building code office. The Manufacturer has provided these suggested instructions as an installation guideline. The manufacturer does not offer any installation services other than these guidelines, nor has any control over the installation of URESTONE panels.

.1 Start The Installation With The Corners Keyed corners There are two corner options to use with the full 4’ x 8’ ft panels which are “keyed” corners and keyed “keyless” corners (Typically the corner wainscot panels only have the keyless corners available). Most people prefer the “Key Corners” since they add panels this direction add panels this direction provide the most natural transition and will work if there is a break in Keyless corners the system (like a door or a bump out).

2.4 Terminating a Wall Adding the last panel - Once a point is reached where a full panel is too large to place between the panel and the corner /end of the wall, you will need to measure the distance from the inside of the deepest key to the wall (figure A). Mark this distance on the back of the next panel and cut accordingly, preferably using a circular saw (figure B). If corner pieces are not used- the panels may be mitered for an easy corner wrap.

3.0 SCREW RECOMMENDATIONS When applying the URESTONE panels, the use of screws is recommended as the primary method of attaching panels to walls and columns. In some applications, a combination of screws and adhesive is recommended. 3.1 Screw Recommendations 3.

3.4 Gluing Mitered Joints When mitering corners instead of using the URESTONE existing keyed and keyless corners, it is important to glue the miter with PL Polyurethane adhesive or DEMONIC 100 caulk/adhesive. 4.0 Caulking Methods and Blend When caulking after the panels have been installed, it is important to inject the caulk as deep as possible into the gaps. If the caulk is just applied at minimum depth or just on the surface then will not provide enough protection with expansion and contraction.

4.2 Caulking Recessed Screws The colored caulk is also designed to be used to cover up the recessed screw areas. Typically the screws should be placed in the grout areas and the same technique outlined in caulking the grout areas. If the screw in the middle of the stone, a non textured caulk may be necessary instead of a textured caulk depending on the stone panel. In both cases see feathering the caulk below and coloring instructions to blend in the color where necessary .

5.0 Touch Up Paints/Blending with Caulk Color Replications Unlimited has a Touch Up Paint Kit that contains 2—3 containers of paint, instructions and brushes. The paint colors are supplied for your specific stone color scheme. The touch up paint is a water based system and can be cleaned up with water. There are a number of details that may require a touch up paint.

5.2 Touching Up Recessed Screws The placement of screwing the panels to the wall should be in the grout lines and not in the middle of the stones. If there are no grout lines, then the screws should be placed in less visible areas of the panel. This will make the touch up process easier. If the screw is placed in the grout lines, the touch up similar to the section above / blending caulked grout areas.
