Stone Veneer Corner Pieces

When it comes to installing manufactured stone veneer, achieving a polished, professional look requires careful attention to detail, especially at the corners. Prefabricated matching outside corner pieces provide a seamless solution, combining aesthetics with functionality. Let’s explore the benefits of these specialized pieces and how they can elevate your project.

What are corner pieces?

Prefabricated outside corner pieces are specially designed components that replicate the natural appearance of stone while providing a perfect fit for corners. Unlike standard flat pieces, these corner units are shaped to wrap around 90-degree exterior corners, ensuring a cohesive and realistic stone pattern. For inside corners, flat pieces are utilized by placing one piece into the corner and another on the adjoining side. Corners are available in various styles, colors, and textures to match your chosen manufactured stone veneer.

Benefits of using outside corner pieces

1. Professional appearance: one of the primary advantages of using prefabricated corner pieces is their ability to create a natural and continuous stone pattern. This eliminates awkward seams or visible cuts, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your project.

2. Time and labor efficiency: cutting and shaping flat veneer pieces to fit corners can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Prefabricated corner pieces are ready to install, reducing installation time and minimizing the need for specialized tools or expertise.

3. Structural integrity: using properly designed corner pieces ensures a snug fit and reduces the likelihood of gaps or misaligned joints, which can compromise the durability and water resistance of your installation.

4. Versatility: prefabricated corner pieces are suitable for a wide range of applications, including exterior walls, chimneys, columns and pillars, fireplaces, and retaining walls.

How to install outside corner pieces

1. Plan your layout: before installation, lay out your corner pieces to determine the best placement and pattern. Many manufacturers offer corner pieces with “long” and “short” sides, allowing you to alternate them for a more natural look.

2. Prepare the surface: ensure the installation surface is clean, stable, and properly prepared with a weather-resistant barrier and metal lath, if required.

3. Apply mortar: use a high-quality mortar specifically designed for manufactured stone veneer. Apply it evenly to the back of the corner piece and the surface.

4. Install the corner pieces: start at the bottom and work upward, pressing each piece firmly into place. Alternate the long and short sides to create a staggered, natural appearance. Adjust as needed to maintain level lines.

5. Fill joints: after the corner pieces are in place, fill any gaps with mortar and smooth the joints for a polished finish. Be sure to clean off any excess mortar promptly to avoid staining the stone.

Tips for success

1. Match your style: choose corner pieces that complement the style and color of your flat veneer pieces for a cohesive design. Most manufacturers offer corner pieces designed to seamlessly match their stone flats.

2. Plan ahead: order enough corner pieces to avoid delays. It’s better to have a few extra than to run short.

3. Follow manufacturer guidelines: each manufacturer may have specific recommendations for installation, so be sure to consult their instructions.
