Outside / External Corners
External corner units are especially hand-made for Rock Panels and are available as a two-part, interlocking finger-jointed system. Corner units provide the most seamless look possible, require no special skills or tools, and are very quick and easy to install, greatly reducing onsite labour costs.
An alternate option for forming outside corners, or for corners that are not at 90 degrees, is to mitre-cut flat panels on site. This is a more tedious task requiring considerable skill:
- Select one rock panel and mark the cut point
- Make a straight cut (0°) at the mark
- Cut each piece individually on a 45° mitre
- Check that the two pieces form a perfect 90° corner
- Always cut both pieces from the same panel for colour and thickness consistency
Inside / Internal Corners
Internal corner units are custom-made and available from Norstone — perfect for forming superb corners wherever two walls meet. Alternatively, inside corners can be formed by cutting stone panels with a standard inside corner mitre cut on site using a tilting wet saw. Two panels can also be butt-joined at an inside corner, with any gaps filled with pigmented mortar.
Corner Options for Other Products
AKSENT 3D™ panels use the same world-class finger-jointed two-part corner system. Each corner unit is hand-fit tested at the factory before dispatch, delivering a seamless wrap around any 90° outside corner without any mitre cutting on site.
For PLANC™ large format stone tiles, outside corners can be formed using the overlapping end technique, a metal angle trim, or mitre cutting — see the PLANC install guide for full details.
