Mounting clips are embedded within ClipStone so you can securely install onto the wall without the need to hit a stud when properly installed according to installation instructions.

ClipStone is an innovative, easy-to-install stone veneer. It’s also a very smart choice. With simple common tools, you can turn a plain boring wall into an eye-catching, professional-looking stone wall.

Because these are individual stones, you will enjoy added design flexibility – and no more obvious long seams that are the result of many stone panels on the market today.

ClipStone goes up one at a time, just like traditional stone installed by a professional mason. Except you don’t need the mason!

FACTSAccording to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs Value Report this year, a manufactured stone veneer project retains 97.1% of its value, making stone remodels a smart investment on any home’s curb appeal or interior accent wall.

ClipStone is backed by at 50 year limited warranty so you can rest assured we stand by what we make. ClipStone meets all required International Building Codes as well as International Residential Codes as evaluated by IAPMO Uniform Evaluation Service. ClipStone is made of concrete, and iron oxide pigments create the natural coloring, so the stone face does not fade like other siding materials, and never needs to be painted. Try ClipStone once and let the beauty speak for itself.

EXPERIENCED DIY• Those handy with a drill and don’t

mind cutting a few stones with a hand grinder will enjoy what they can accomplish with ClipStone.

• ClipStone are individual stones, not panels. Get the aesthetic of real stone veneer, added value and curb appeal to your home. All thanks to you.

• ClipStone makes projects like accent walls and wainscots in your home more accessible, with tools an experienced DIYer would already have, without the learning curve that comes with panels.

• Since no mortar is needed to install ClipStone, you’ll notice there is little mess to clean up once your project is completed.

REMODELERS• ClipStone’s intelligent water

management system and mechanical fastener means your client will not have to worry about many traditional masonry issues. ClipStone also carries a 50-year warranty so the only thing left to worry about is which color will look best.

• Since ClipStone uses a mechanical fastener, you will never need to return to the project to fix a stone that has fallen off.

• ClipStone’s mechanical fasteners also mean there’s no mortar needed, so it can be installed in cold weather conditions without precautions – unlike traditional mortared applications.

• There is also less waste, compared to panelized stones, so you save on cost and materials.

SIDING CONTRACTORS• Work out of your existing toolbox. You

can transition from siding to stone without changing your crew, your tools, or your schedule.

• By installing just 2 squares of ClipStone, you can recuperate up to 89% ROI on a home. Only insulation and steel entry door replacements can beat that high of a return.

• Every contractor knows time is money. ClipStone lets you add stone veneer in a fraction of the time of installing mortared stone.

• Contractors love the innovative easy installation, and homeowners love mixing their own colors and styles. Ask us about our case studies to show you how you can make more money just by installing ClipStone on your jobsite.

Installation Instructions

12 | ClipStone

FOR EXTERIOR WALL PREPARATION (see Fig. 4)• ClipStone is designed to install over

7/16 inch or greater OSB or plywood sheathing attached to wood or metal studs.

• If any questions as to the structural integrity of the sheathing or framing, contact a qualified contractor or building inspector.

• Install two layers of Grade D Breathable Water Resistive Barrier over sheathing and fasten to wall with staples or other means.

• Ensure all paper edges are flashed to substrate to prevent moisture movement to back of WRB.

• Ensure all openings and penetrations are properly flashed.

• Ensure compliance to all local and national building codes as they change from location to location.

FOR INTERIOR WALL PREPARATION (see Fig. 5)• ClipStone is intended for installation over 7/16 inch minimum

plywood or OSB. DO NOT INSTALL CLIPSTONE DIRECTLY TO DRYWALL.

• Install minimum 7/16 inch or greater OSB or plywood substrate to wood studs to act as substrate for ClipStone installation.

• If any questions as to the structural integrity of the sheathing or framing, contact a qualified contractor or building inspector.

• Insure plywood is attached to the structural studs behind the drywall in accordance with local and national codes.

• For interior applications, Water Resistive Barrier or housewrap is not required.

NUMBER OF FLAT STONES (see Fig.1)

Calculate wall area to be covered with stone (height X width) and subtract area of window and door openings (if applicable). Then add 5% - 10% additional stone material for waste due to cutting or breakage.

NUMBER OF CORNER STONES (see Fig. 2)

Measure the height of all corner edges to determine the total linear feet of corners needed. Add 5%-10% for waste. Also subtract 50% of the corner linear feet from your flat stone calculation to account for wall coverage of corners.

AMOUNT OF STARTER STRIP (see Fig. 3)

Starter strips are required at the bottom of a wall or across the top of all windows, doors and other openings. Measure the total lineal dimension of all window widths, door widths and the length of all walls to be stoned to calculate the total linear feet of starter strip needed.

NUMBER OF OUTLET STONES

If you have electrical outlets in your wall or project space, count the number of outlets and order an Outlet Stone for each outlet.

NUMBER OF DECORATIVE SILLS FOR WINDOWS

Measure lineal foot dimension of window sills needed under windows and to cap a wainscot. Divide the total linear feet by 1.6 to calculate the number of pieces.

Tools Required• 1" metal roofing screw with hex/

washer head and corrosion resistant coating

• Screw gun

• 2 to 4 foot level

• Small torpedo level

• Slap stapler (for external applications to fasten paper to wall)

• Chop saw or other cutting tool

How to cut stone (if needed)ClipStone is easily cut both horizontally and vertically with a chop saw. PLEASE WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING, GLOVES, EYE PROTECTION AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDED BY THE CUTTING TOOL MANUFACTURER.

ClipStone installation requires two points of attachment per piece for fastening to the substrate.

If this cannot be done, use DAP® DynaGrip® Heavy Duty Max to adhere stone surfaces together where there is a difficult area for attachment (i.e. under a soffit).

myClipStone.com | 13

STEP 1: ATTACH STARTER STRIP• 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 flashed/layered over top of starter strip a minimum of 2”.

• Make sure starter strip is level.

STEP 2: START WITH THE CORNERS• Starting with the outside

corners at the starter strip, install the first 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• Place first 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 final ClipStone piece in row with a chop saw to fit 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• 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 flat 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• 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 fit 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 flats and corners above.

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

STEP 6: FINISHING YOUR INSTALLATION• Once you’ve reached

your final top row, finish your project with either a Drip Ledge Stone for a wainscot cap or cut the ClipStone pieces to fit in the remaining area, always trying to maintain two points of fastening to the substrate.

• Cut stone as needed to fit both horizontally and vertically (see “How to Cut Stone” below).

• 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 firmly into the surrounding pieces.
