Mitering a Corner

PDF FormatDownload This Page As A Printable PDF

Note: These are generic instructions that work for most all of the FauxPanel. These instructions do not work on the Siding products, such as the York, Nailon and Novi (you can only use pre-molded corners or J-channel on these). A pre-molded corner is available for most all of the FauxPanels as an accessory. These Pre-molded corner are either interlocking corners or straight corners that butt up to the Panels.

These instructions for how to Miter a Corner are for those who prefer the look of mitering the corners themselves. Or if the project necessitates using mitered corners instead of molded corners.

The instructions below are shown using the Oxford Stacked Stone color Tan, but the instructions are similar for any of the FauxPanels.



1. Measure and mark the panel to indicate the location of the cut. 2. Cut the panel at a 45 degree angle. (It's helpful to use a simple panel cutting jig on a table saw.) 3. Flip the leftover panel around 180 degrees so that you're cutting a 45 degree angle reversed to the last cut. The cut should be made as close as possible to the end of the panel, in order to keep the pattern matched.
     
4. Only a small triangle-shaped wedge of waste should be left over. 5. Use the standard installation instructions to mount one of the cut panels, then glue and screw the panel in place. 6. In cases where the next piece is butting into a wall, it will be necessary to measure it out and cut it straight.
     
7. Making sure that the miter is good and tight, mount the other cut panel, then glue and screw it in. 8. Some spots may overhang, exposing the yellow polyurethane. 9. File those spots down to match the shape of the stone next to it.
     
10. Use your touch-up paint to fix the filed area. 11. Use the appropriate color-coordinated caulking to fill any gap or imperfection in the miter.  If a touch-up kit is available for the FauxPanels you are installing, you can also use the Paint from the Touch-up kit to conceal imperfections in the miter. 12. Your corner is now in place!
