Stone Capping Corner Pieces
What is ‘stone capping’?
Stone capping is the finishing touch to any feature or retaining wall resulting in an enhanced appearance. It helps to create visual continuity between the cladding material and the horizontal surface above. Stone capping also protects your cladding from unnecessary damage and moisture entering between the substrate and the stone as it is no longer exposed. Without it, a wall can look unfinished and the cladding below unprotected.
There are a variety of stone capping styles that will complement the type of wall cladding specified. Choose from a more organic capping style or one that is a traditional, rectangular format with square edges. The pieces can come in various thickness and finishes such as sawn or honed depending on the look you’re trying to achieve and the application.
What are ‘corner pieces’?
Like stone capping, corner pieces are designed to complete your feature or retaining wall and are an essential component. Stone corner pieces help create a natural, seamless look.
Our stone corner units have been designed in an L-shape. This offers a natural sense of structural depth and form that cannot be achieved with a mitre joint. The corner pieces vary in length and thickness depending on the stone you choose and can be finished to complement the aesthetics of your walling.
