Without them, you would have an obvious seam where flat panels meet, or you'd have to miter cut the ends of flat pieces, which is difficult with ledgestone's irregular textures and can expose the cut edge of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRealistic Appearance:\u003c\/b\u003e Natural ledgestone installations always show the \"short\" and \"long\" returns of the stone on corners. Dedicated corner pieces replicate this, making the veneer look like full-thickness stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimplified Installation:\u003c\/b\u003e While you still need to lay individual pieces, using pre-formed corner pieces significantly reduces the complexity and time involved in achieving a professional finish compared to trying to create corners from flat pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDurability and Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Properly installed corner pieces contribute to the overall integrity and weather resistance of the veneer system, especially for exterior applications, by minimizing exposed seams that could allow moisture infiltration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharacteristics of Avalon Bay Ledgestone Corners:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Like the flat panels, Avalon Bay Ledgestone Corners are made from \u003cb\u003enatural marble\u003c\/b\u003e.
