MITERED CORNER
MITERED OUTSIDE CORNER
Step 1
In some situations the installer may prefer to do a miter cut at the corner rather than use
the outside corner accessory pieces. This application is most common when the corner
is not a 90° corner but works equally as well on 90° corners.
Step 2
In exterior applications the corner
must first be made water-tight by
installing a moisture barrier prior to
installing the NextStone™ panels.
Step 3
Both sides of the corner should be cut
from the same panel or another panel
of the same configuration (the number
on the back is the same). In this way
the individual “rocks” will wrap
around the corner. (You will have to
lay out the first course so that the last
panel that will be used to form the
corner is at least 8" too long.) Cut the
panel at the appropriate angle (one
half of the angle of the corner) and
install as previously explained. Next, cut the drop at the same angle and install the other
side of the corner making as tight a joint as possible. For example, if you were
installing NextStone™ on a 7' wide wall with a 90° corner, the second panel would
make the corner. You would cut the panel on a 45° miter so that it was 3' measured on
the short side and install. You would then cut the drop-off piece (1') at 45° and install it
on the other side of the corner. Be sure you stagger each course so that the corner cut
does not fall at the same place on the panel used to make the corner.
Step 4
Run a bead of caulk along the joint where the panels butt together. This can be
concealed with touch-up paint if you wish.
Step 5
There is variation in thickness within each individual “rock”, therefore, there will be
small areas of exposed polyurethane where the panels were cut which must be coated
with touch-up paint. In addition, you may wish to conceal the caulk line by painting
with touch-up paint.
