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.
