Installation Guide

SANDSTONE FLUSH OUTSIDE CORNER

Step 1 - Install Moisture Barrier

Flush mounted corners allow possible moisture

infiltration between the panel and the corner, therefore, a

moisture barrier may be required behind the panels and

corner extending a minimum of 4" from either side of the

corner. A self-adhering flashing membrane such as Grace

Vycor® is recommended.

Step 2 - Locate the Corner

Flush mounted outside corners are available in 4' heights. The

placement of the corners will depend on how the top of the corner

is terminated. For applications over 48" in height, the corner

pieces are stackable with the final corner cut to the required

height. For wainscot applications, the corner can be capped with

a ledger attached to the tongue of the top panel and cut with a compound miter at a 45°

angle, or a Ledger Outside Corner. In this application the top of the corner should be

placed 2" below the top of the tongue on the top panel.

Step 3 - Install the Corner

The corner has screw guides or dimples to help position the screws

using the correct angle. There are also screw guides along the

sides. All screws are installed at an angle and at a location where

they will be concealed. Install two screws through the top and at

least 4 on each side. Good quality exterior screws, #6 or

#8 x 2 ½" are recommended.

Step 4 - Install the Panels

Install the remaining accessories and finish the panels. The joints

between the panels and the corner must be caulked using a good

quality caulk or textured grout to make a water-tight installation.
