Nesco Shutter Installation Including Over Stone Veneers
                      

®      We do not recommend installing Nesco shutters directly over stone veneers!   We do recommend placing our shutters over 2î depth stucco pop-outs roughly 1î to 1 ‡î diameter short of shutter dimensions as demonstrated in the diagram

®      Solid structural backing should be installed at framingóFollowing information is for standard shutter installation also 

®      Lay shutter face up

®      Then using coarse thread galvanized screws (of sufficient length to penetrate backing by at least 1î once installing on to house) run screws every 12îó16î through the shutter at an upward angle of about 15 degrees (see diagram)

®      Using a caulking gun apply a continuous ºî bead of adhesive around the entire perimeter about 1î in from edge and a 1î glob to cover each screw pointóAcceptable adhesives are those with a urethane base containing a petroleum solvent, such as Polyurethane Sealant #6000 by Silicones Unlimited (available at Nesco Mfg.), ChemRex #948 by ChemRex, Inc., Vulkem #116 by Tremco, PL Premium Construction Adhesive, PL #200 or PL Polyurethane Sealant available at most Loweís & Home Depot

®      At this stage, align shutter to house and drive the screwsópenetrating backing by at least 1îócounter sinking the heads about 1/16î ñ1/8ì

®      If you choose you can Bondo over screw holesóScrape a small (straw) whiskbroom over Bondo when it is almost set to create rough sawn lookónote: scraping broom acts as sandingóSand Bondo smooth when set to create smooth finish lookósand and paint to match exterior note: if you do not sand Bondo paint will not adhere
