1. Tools needed are: a saw, screw gun, caulking gun, level, tape measure,
and Mortar Seal. Other helpful tools would be: a router, table saw, chalk line. |
|
2. Check the ground for levelness. Find
the highest point. Measure up from
point and mark the wall. Draw a level
line across the wall. |
|
3. Install the corner with the top edge
on the level line that was drawn.
Use glue on the back of the corner
before placing it against the wall.
Use a slight wiggle motion on the
corner to help spread the glue and
confirm good contact between the
wall, glue, and panel. Use screws
in the morter joint to
attach the corner. |
4. Cut the interlocking fingers off the first
panel so it can butt up to the corner piece.
|
|
5. Apply a liberal amount of glue on the back of the panel. Put the panel on to the wall. Slide the straight cut edge behind the corner. Align the panel so the proper brick pattern you desire is shown. Again, use a slight wiggle motion to assist in the adhesion of the glu. |
|
6. Be sure the top of the panel is lined up with the level line on the wall. Use screws, placed in the grout lines to attach the panel to the wall. Hint: all screw heads should be counter sunk about an 1/8 of an inch. |
7. Continue installing the rest of the interlocking panels using the same technique of gluing and screwing the panels onto the wall. |
|
8. Caulk the seams, seal all the joints, and cover all of the screw holes with the Mortar Seal caulk.
|
|
9. Use a wet finger, paint brush, or tool to smooth and blend the caulk. |
