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 it works equally 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

In exterior applications 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.
