SPECIAL NOTES

Pattern: Latitude Series stone is designed to be installed in a traditional Horizontal Ashlar pattern. Do not install stones vertically. Depending on the required coverage area, blend the stone from several different boxes/pallets to ensure proper color and size variation.

Vertical Joints: Avoid vertical joints exceeding the height of the largest stone. Horizontal Joints: Should not exceed 4’ – 6’ in continuous length.

String Lines: Installer should use string lines/coursing poles to ensure a straight and level pattern. Installation Info: Latitude Series stone is a stone veneer that requires the use of masonry ties during installation, refer to local building codes for quantity of ties required.

Sealing: Eaves Stone Latitude Series does not require sealing, however, if installed on an exterior exposed to excessive water, we suggest sealing with an approved product to protect the stone from staining during freeze-thaw cycles.
