TRANSCRIPT
OVERVIEW - Figure 1
• Stonewood Exterior Architectural Panels are designed to work
as cladding with a rainscreen design in a ventilated façade system.
• This installation guideline only specifi es minimum requirements
in general terms how Stonewood Panels should be attached/fastened
to the substructure.
• This guideline does not address the selection, design, and
mounting of the substructure itself and the attachment to the
structural wall.
• Fiberesin recommends the framework and fastening system
promoted by NorthClad® Inc. (www.northclad.com). Stonewood
Panels are also compatible with many existing extrusion framework
and fastening systems available for similar products.
• To meet the local building code, building professionals should
be consulted for the fi nal layout of the fastening/attachment plan
of Stonewood Panels to the substructures.
SINGLE-SIDED PANELS
There is one A side and one B side to the panels. The A side is
meant to face away from the building. Both sides may have the same
color/pattern, but this does not mean the panel has two sides of equal
appearance quality. The B side could have fi nish or gloss imperfections.
Installers are responsible for making sure that the appropriate side is
visible. The panels are shipped A side up and there is an identifying
sticker on the B side.
NOTE: The construction buildup of the two sides of the panel is
identical. This provides uniform balance and weather/UV protection.
VENTILATION - Figure 2
A. The distance between Stonewood Panels and the wall (or insulation)
is minimum 1”.
B. The head ventilation - the distance between the top edge of the
cladding and the eaves, is minimum ¾” .
C. The base ventilation - the distance between the bottom edge of
the cladding and the fl ashing bottom, is minimum ¾”.

THREE SUPPORTS SCENARIO
A. Stonewood Panels must be fastened to at least three points in
each direction to the substructure (Figure 4).
B. Maximum 24” between fasteners.
C. Actual numbers of fastening points, therefore the distance between
supports, are to be verified by building professionals for the wind
load per local building code.
D. The distance between the edge mounting points and the panel
edges shall be between 1” and 3” (Figure 3 and 4).
FIXED / FLOATING POINTS - Figure 5
A. All the support points are floating, except the one in the middle of
the panel or the one as close as possible to the geometric center of
the panel.
B. The drilled holes of the floating points must be at least 3 mm larger
than the screws/rivets. The actual number of fastening points,
therefore the distance between fasteners, is based on wind loads and
local building codes and must be verified by a building professional.
C. The fixed point has the hole drilled to the specification of the
diameter of the screws/rivets.

SPACE BETWEEN PANEL EDGES - Figure 3
A. A minimum distance of ¼” must be maintained between panels
on all sides to accommodate hygrothermal movement of
the panels.
FIXING SYSTEMS
A. Extruded aluminum rainscreen mounting systems recommended.
Figure 3 shows an example of a vertical joint. Additional details
available at stonewoodpanels.com/exterior-panels/details1 and
northclad.com/products/ef.
B. Fiberesin recommends the TW-W 300 series austenitic stainless steel
cladding fastener by SFS intec, inc. See www.sfsintecusa.com for
more information.
C. Visit NorthClad.com for more information about the EF Exposed
Fastener System as an option for your installation.
D. Exposed method works for all panel thicknesses.

SAWING AND DRILLING
A. A supporting board must be used underneath the Stonewood Panel to
drill a clean hole.
B. Panels should be cut using a track saw on a guild rail with a blade
designed for cutting aluminum/plastic. Fiberesin recommends the
Festool TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Track Saw and Festool 496307
Aluminum/Plastic saw blade for reference.
COLOR MATCHING
A. The exposed fasteners should be lacquered to match the Stonewood
Panel.
B. Colored fasteners are available from NorthClad
(www.northclad.com).
WORKMANSHIP / FIELD FABRICATION GUIDELINES
A. Fabrication and installation of Stonewood Architectural Exterior
Panels should be performed only by experienced professionals.
On-site fabrication is permitted, but shop fabrication is recommended.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep panels dry and stored indoors in original packaging until installation.
• Store Stonewood panels on a smooth, dry, flat surface, making sure there are no bends or bowing in the load.
• Do not store directly on cold concrete floors as moisture may migrate.
• Do not store under heating units or air conditioning units.
• Keep load stored within outer wrap until use. Remove pallet straps once load is moved to storage area.
• Reseal plastic wrap if partial load is used.
• Keep foam dividers in place.
Damage resulting from improper storage will void the warrantee.
HANDLING AND SAWING INSTRUCTIONS
Please take care not to scratch the surface of the panel during handling, machining and installation.
The UV protective surface can be scratched if care is not taken when handing and/or machining the panels. The panels
are shipped with protective foam dividers between each panel. This foam barrier should always be used when stacking
panels.
Panels should be cut using a track saw on a guild rail with a blade designed for cutting aluminum / plastic. Fiberesin
recommends the Festool TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Track Saw and Festool 496307 Aluminum/Plastic saw blade for
reference.
SINGLE-SIDED PANELS
There is one A side and one B side to the panels. The A side is meant to face away from the building. Both sides may
have the same color/pattern. This does not mean the panel has two sides of equal appearance quality. The B side could
have finish or gloss imperfections. Installers are responsible for making sure that the appropriate side is visible. The
panels are shipped A side up and there is an identifying sticker on the B side.
Note: The construction buildup of the two sides of the panel is identical. This provides uniform balance and
weather/UV protection.
