As you move along the wall, secure each panel with screws. Space the shiplap screws eight inches apart and in the panel itself where you feel any flex. Any screws you put in the face of the panels should be placed in the shadows of the stone to help camouflage them.
For outside installations, apply adhesive to the surface before placing the panel in addition to using screws to secure them. There are some slight differences in the installation process, depending on the material you are applying your GenStone to. If you are attaching your GenStone to wood, the first thing to do is make sure your surface is completely flat, and sand down where needed. Then, apply a moisture barrier to protect the wood.
To attach the panels, you will need 2. From here, you can follow the other instructions in this guide. If you are applying this to either brick or concrete, make sure you always keep the positive side of the shiplap at the top. Make a pilot hole with your hammer drill before you screw in the concrete anchors.
You will want to use concrete screws, called Tapcons, to attach the panel to the brick or concrete. When you use gypsum board, it is not recommended that you use adhesive. You will need drywall screws to attach it, following the instructions as shown in this guide. If you are using ledgers, you will need a longer screw; we recommend 2. To install the ledger, apply adhesive to the back of it and on the top of the positive shiplap edge of the panel below it; then fit the pieces together.
Add additional screws where needed. Cover the screws you put in the face of the panels with GenStone color match caulk. Caulking these screws as you go will give the caulk time to dry before you are ready to touch them up. Caulk the shiplap edge after attaching screws, before you attach the next panel.
Apply a thin bead of caulking, no thicker than half an inch, to the positive shiplap edges and behind the finger tabs. Before you apply the caulk, make sure the surface is completely clean and free of contaminants. While the caulk is curing, keep alcohol and solvent clears away from it. If you plan to install adhered veneer over drywall, you need to install a layer of cement backer board before installing the veneer.
Self-tapping brick anchors, concrete block or concrete screws are used for fastening items to brick. The heavy-duty masonry screw has the versatility for use in brick, mortar joints, CMU, block or solid concrete. If you are installing brick veneer indoors, you do not need to use mortar. As long as your wall is relatively flat in spaces like fireplace surrounds and kitchen backsplashes, you can use a construction adhesive instead.
Brick siding can easily last over years. As we mentioned above, you can reuse brick veneer for future siding or unique landscaping projects around your yard. For new construction, install cement board in place of sheet rock. Step 3: Scratch Coat A scratch coat will be needed when metal lath is used. This step is not necessary when applying stone veneer to a cleaned concrete, masonry, or stucco surface. Liquid Nails released its line of adhesive that bonds all stone, block, and timber into one strong structure.
Extreme Landscape Block, Stone, and Timber Adhesive works on stone, brick, or block and can be used on garden and retaining walls, capstones, planters, walkways, and steps.
If you like the look of stonework but would rather work with something easier to install and more budget friendly, consider faux stone veneer. Unlike regular stone, you can apply stone veneer directly to most surfaces including drywall, concrete or brick.

Shop Shop. DIY brick veneer wall tutorial: First, I have to thank my sweet friend Ellen for doing the hard work for me. Make sure your walls are clean! My drywall was brand new, so it was simple for us, but make sure you clean up your wall before you lay any brick.
Start spreading mastic on the wall with a notched trowel. Make sure you have the area fully covered, and then start laying your brick. Put the brick on row by row, starting from the bottom. I tried to get away with not using spacers, but the brick kept sliding down the wall when I did that. Since the brick is imperfect, I had to make some of the stacks 2 spacers high and some of them 3 high.
Continue this process all the way up your wall.
