Tyvek® is a registered trademark of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company or its affiliates. Like all organic materials, plastic and wood are combustible and will burn. The flammability tests conducted on the polymer used to produce Plastirock™ were in accordance with the standard tests for flammability of plastic materials for parts and devices and appliances, UL 94 5th Edition. The material was rated “HB”.
Plastirock is the perfect choice for do-it-yourself stone accent and siding projects because installation is so easy!
Simply follow the instructions provided with every box to prep the surface, indoor or outdoor, to which you are applying Plastirock.
If space allows, we recommend you roughly lay out the pattern of Plastirock you’d like in an area of similar size and shape to your project.
If you have corners in your project, we recommend installing Plastirock corners (sold separately) first. If your project ends at a wall, cut to fit using any wood saw.
When you are happy with the pattern you have created, start nailing each Plastirock to the project surface, beginning in the center of your project and working your way out.
Nail through each Plastirock at least three times with two-inch brad nails (minimum), at a 45 degree angle to the surface you are nailing into.
When all Plastirock is applied, you’re done!
