Qualifications & Installation INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: Nitterhouse Masonry Products recommends checking and following all local Building Code requirements pertaining to the installation of Handcrafted Veneer Stone, in addition to carefully following each of the installation instructions provided below.

STEP 1

STEP 2

Determine the Quantity Needed

Suggested Installation Methods

FLAT STONES

BLOCK MASONRY BACK UP

When estimating the number of flat stones needed, multiply the height by the length of each area. Then multiply the lineal footage of corners by 1/2 (one lineal ft. of corner stones equals roughly 1/2 sq. ft. of flat stones), and subtract this corner square footage from total flat stone square footage. This will give the total amount of flat stones required. Make sure to subtract the square footage for any windows, doors, or other openings.

Painted, Treated, Poured-in-Place, or Sealed Masonry Surfaces:

CORNER STONES When estimating the number of corner stones needed, measure the height of each corner, including any doorways and windows that will have corners. This will provide the total linear footage of corner stones needed.

OPTION 1 // Clean masonry surface by acid etching, sand blasting, or wire brushing to completely remove sealers, paint, or release agents. Using Type S mortar, apply a 1⁄2-in.-thick scratch coat to the entire masonry surface and allow to dry. OPTION 2 // Apply 2.5 lb diamond mesh expanded metal lath. Lath sides and ends should overlap by 1 in. Install lath with the small caps pointing upwards. Using Type S mortar, apply 1⁄2-in.-thick scratch coat to the entire masonry surface and allow to dry.

METAL PANELS Follow preparation for metal studs noted above.

SHEATHING H

WALL DIMENSIONS

L

Example: If your corner measures 20-ft high, you would need 20 lineal ft. of corners. If your wall measures 10-ft by 10-ft., you would typically need 100 sq. ft of flat stones, but if there are corners, you would actually need less than 100 sq. ft.). Multiply 20 by 1/2, and your corner lineal feet converts to 10-sq. ft. Then subtract 10 sq. ft. from 100 sq. ft., and you have 90 sq. ft. This means that 90 sq. ft. would be the total square feet of flat stones needed. (Note: The corner lineal footage would not change. Corner requirements would remain at 20 lineal ft.).

Apply weather-resistive barrier over the sheathing surface. The weather-resistive barrier should be equivalent to UBC Standard 14-1, asphalt-saturated rag, felt, or ASTM D226 (No. 15, Type I Felt). Apply the barrier so that the upper layer overlaps the lower by 2 in.

All stone is manufactured in accordance with ASTM C1670 Standard for Adhered Manufactured Stone Masonry Veneer

CAUTION 18

DO NOT use muriatic acid. Muriatic acid will discolor stone veneer and should never be applied.

DO NOT use flat or corner stones on exterior horizontal planes or cap walls.

Overlap vertical joints by 6 in. Install lath over the weather-resistive barrier. Use either 2.5-lb. diamond mesh expanded metal lath, or IS-gauge woven-wire mesh. Attach lath using galvanized nails or staples 6 in. on center vertically, and 16 in. on center horizontally. Lath must overlap inside and outside corners by 16 in. Use a Type S mortar to apply a 1⁄2-in.-thick scratch coat to the entire masonry surface, and allow to set until dry. Using Type S mortar, apply a 1⁄2-in.-thick scratch coat to the entire masonry surface and allow to dry.

STEP 4 Grouting the Stone Grout as desired with Type N or S mortar mix. Be certain to fill in any areas where the scratch coat may be exposed. Strike joint after grout is fingerprint dry. Brush away loose mortar. Note: There are many different techniques and grout colors available Nitterhouse Masonry Products recommends consulting with your mason about the possible colors and grouting techniques available for use with Handcrafted Veneer Stone.

STEP 3

OTHER USEFUL INSTALLATION TIPS

Applying the Stone

Out-of-Box Stone Preparation

Apply stone from top down, except for Ledgestone, which is applied from the bottom up. Lightly wet the scratch coat and stone veneer. Install corner stones first, then install flat stones. Use Type N or S mortar mix, cover the entire back of the stone with a 1⁄2-in.-thick layer of mortar. Apply stone to the scratch coat. Then gently place the stone veneer so that mortar shows around all edges. Stone installation should be kept 4 in. above grade.

Nitterhouse Masonry Products suggests laying out 24-to-36 sq. ft. of stones selected from different boxes prior to application to allow for a consistent blend of colors, shapes, and sizes.

CLEANING If cleaning is necessary, only clean with a softbristle brush. Begin cleaning stone with water only. If a stronger cleaning solution is necessary, use 3⁄4 part white household distilled vinegar mixed with 5 parts water.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 2 cont.

DRAINAGE Water run off should be diverted through the use of gutters, caps, and flashing. Exposure to consistent water flow could possibly result in discoloration and/or surface damage.

SEALING Standard Practice for Installation Methods for Adhered Manufactured Stone Masonry Veneer ASTM C1780-13

SCRATCHBACK TECHNOLOGY

The advanced scratch-back technology of Nitterhouse handcrafted veneer stones not only eases installation, but enhances adhesion of each stone, forming a strong, long-lasting bond. Grooves built into the back of each handcrafted stone create a stronger mechanical bond upon installation, eliminating stone fall-out. Your veneer stone will look as beautiful years from now as it does the day its installation is complete.
