Versetta Stone Column Wrap Installation

hey everyone my name is ernie deutscher and i'm with borrel building products i am a technical installation representative for the southeast territory and today we're going to be doing a video on versatile stone and how to build a column or a post for the front of your home or building or project all right so before we get started we want to start out with safety so a few things that you're going to need on site or during your project is step one is gloves make sure you have hand protection you're gonna need eye protection you'll need some form of respirator or respiratory mask you may or may not need knee pads to cover your knees while you're kneeling down and steel toe boots arm coverings and some form of ear protection all right so i just want to run through real quick some of the tools you're going to need on hand before starting the project if you want to come on over here and take a look on the table just starting from uh right to left here you're going to need a little brush to kind of brush out all your grooves on your tongue and groove on the panels you'll probably need a five in one tool to chip any type of extra debris after cutting you're gonna need a measuring tape you'll need a rubber mallet always have a level on hand you're gonna need some type of exterior adhesive depending on what type of uh in-wall termination or soft if you come up to a soffit or anything you're going to need a screwdriver or drill you're going to need some form of screws so i would use an exterior we like to use rock ons they're great for exterior use uh one and a quarter two and a quarter depending on what type of sheathing you're going through and uh you're definitely going to need a diamond segmented blade in order to cut uh through versatile stone and the galvanized nailing flange another good thing to always have on hand is rust-oleum and we just go to the local hardware store find a color that matches closest to our stone that we're using and this is going to be to paint our end cuts so so the main tool we're using today is a sliding miter saw and i'm using a 10-inch diamond segmented blade on this with a proper dust extraction hookup so this right here is to protect me and protect the environment from all the dust from the stone all right so now we're ready to get started on our column for versatile stone i just want to go ahead and show that i've already got my frame built out for my column and first step is to take our vinyl starter strip and the final starter strip come in 10 foot lengths in different colors uh to match the stone color of your choice first step is that you want to make sure that you get your starter strip nice and level on the base of your project so you're going to go ahead and adhere that to the sheathing and then what you need to do is get some form of drainable house wrap and you make sure that you wrap your sheathing and then make sure that it's locked over top of your starter strip that way you can ensure that water drains down and out through the bottom of the weep holes that are in the starter strip and the starter strip has a groove for the bottom tongue on our vercetta stone panels and they have weep holes so water goes down and out okay so we're ready to get started on the project i'm going to do this step by step for you guys so we can ensure accuracy and efficiency so step one if you want to come up here and look we need to go ahead and get our panels and these panels are corner panels and this will be the main product that we're going to use today we're not using flats trim pieces nothing like that we're using strictly corner panels for this project on columns and you can see here the reason why is because our corner panels they have a rough texture all the way to the edge and then when they wrap over the outside they're exposed so they look natural wrapping all the way to the ends and that's on both sides of the panel so step one is getting your first measurement this will be the most crucial part of the whole project uh just making sure that you're starting your first course off level and with the right proper the right length here on your first measurement so we measure out our first sidewall we're at i built one that is 18 inches out and what you want to do is make sure that when your panel comes up you want to make sure it hangs over about an extra inch and a half that way when you put your next panel up over on this side it's going to butt into the back of your first one so what we need to do is we measured 18 inches and i'm probably going to measure out 19 and a half 19 and three quarters on my first panel and that way i can ensure that i i can test fit my second panel once i've done this panel and my second side we're off to the races because we've already got measured we we can measure them uh right off the get-go and not have to take a guess one quick note wind cutting verseta stone so for a set of stone what you want to do when cutting is it has the tongue on the base here you want to make sure that that's seated to the base of your saw and not with it turned around using the nailing flange seated up here the nailing flange is applied separately by hand during the curing process it may not always come out straight but you can ensure that the mold with the with the tongue in the groove the mold is going to be straighter or more straight should i say so quick tip all right so i've already went ahead and made my cut and i have a two inch overhang on the first course i've just mocked it up put one screw into her i've got it nice and flush with this side and i'm going to wait to get all the way around in my other three cuts before i re-cut this one so this right here just gives me a mock judgment of how far i need to because you can see it sits about a quarter of an inch off of the wall and what that's for is it has a built-in rain screen so water protrudes down through the nailing flange where there's more weep holes just like in the starter strip water will go down behind it and sit right in here and and evacuate right out the bottom so i'm going to go ahead and make my second measure now now that i have a mock-up and i'm going to put it to it and it looks like with an inch and a half overhang i'll be in an 18 and a half inch cut so quick tip real quick when cutting brusseta stone when you get a partial panel where you're having a cut in here's exactly what it's going to look like so you have manufacturing paint job on the front surface and then if you want to zoom in here you can see what the inside of the concrete looks like right so you're going to have raw uh raw aggregate right on the inside and it's not gonna necessarily match the face of them depending on what color so what again this is where the paint's gonna come in from rust-oleum or any paint color that you can find that's textured at your local hardware store you wanna turn it upside down and just get about six inches from it just give it a light coat and the reason you do it from the back is so you don't mess with the factory paint job and that right there is going to help ensure that you uh hide your cut-ins in the field a lot better so when you come over here you get it started and then what you do is you take your cut in so i have a right side of my panel on the right side of my panel and i'm butting them up together and you can see here exactly how the flow is going to start going around all the way until i meet the in terminal and terminate into this one on the back side so looking at that now you can see the raw concrete is not visible which is really nice all right so we've already made our first three cuts and we've made all of our adjustments the first row is gonna probably be the most difficult just because it's gonna take a little more time to get all your measurements right but once your first row is done you're off to the races because you've already started the leveling plane to keep going and not and you already know your measurements from there so we've already done it and what we've decided to do is you want to come over here and check this out here's where your rubber mallet is going to come into play we haven't finished our fourth side yet but now i have a good area to where i know what to measure and how far to measure over to because you're gonna be i thought it was about an inch and a half but it seemed on this project we're having to go almost two inches over to meet right to the edge of here and then sink in this quarter inch past the sheeting on this side to butt into the back side of our third panel but you see here how this nailing flange kind of sticks out over about a quarter of an inch here's where your rubber mallet comes into play and this is so you don't hurt you don't want to use a metal one because metal one could chip and break uh some of your stone you don't want to do that but i've done that on all three sides and i'll do it on my fourth side as well i'll come back to you on the second row and show you what's next all right so we finished our first course so we've done all the way around with four panels using the right side of the finished edge so you're probably wondering what do we do with the left side because there's a finished edge on each side of a three foot panel so what we do is we go one direction around the first course so we went to the right and now to start your second course you want to make sure all your grooves this is where the little brush comes into play and you want to make sure make sure that your grooves are all out so you don't have any rock chips and that ensures your level all the way around so that's done so now we're going to take the left side of each panel with the bullnose over on the left and what we're going to do is we're going to start on our second course and notice i went from left to right all the way around here now i'm going to go left around or i'm sorry right to right now i'm going to go only left all the way around your second course so you have more of like that basket weave and then you're going to repeat step one course one on course three above this one so just gonna go around one way and around the other way and then around this you know the same way as your first course and just give you a little mock-up this is how to look so there's your general idea of how that's going to go and then you're going to have it going that way so i'm going to go ahead and tack up a couple i'll be right back with you okay guys so we went ahead and finished up our mock-up display for our uh rosetta stone column just recap on how to uh stagger your uh stagger your layers here first layer you're gonna go one direction your second layer you're gonna go the opposite direction get to your third repeat the first layer so it's just gonna go left right left right all the way up to whichever length or height you want to get to then you can cap it off with our wayne's coat cap your waistcoat cap also has a tongue and groove system into it so it sits right onto your top last piece and then typically with versatile stone you want to make sure two of your fasteners are in a stud two are in the sheathing and then you make sure you want to use at least a 7 16 sheathing behind it uh i think other than that that's exactly how we how you use to or how you make a column so you guys have any questions please submit them online and give us a call appreciate your time thanks you
