Split faced stone - finishing the edges.

Time's Ran Out · Oct 13, 2018

This is a project we did a couple of years ago.
Just been back to do some maintenance on alterations to the air ducting around the pool, so got the opportunity to check out how I finished the edges of these panels.
Still looks good!
I’ve got a wall to do on my current pool job so I’ll post an update.

End feature wall.

Internal mitres are a pain as you lose at least 30mm each row and its a pain to match with the depth of another piece.
Got to return to deep clean & seal yet.

I've got my first bit of split face to do. Feature corner behind a wood stove I'm fitting. They're not interlocking ones though. I'll post some pictures if it's not too shabby!

Similar to what I did above then? The old laminate is all being taken up this week and a thick slate hearth going in

Should be easier to cut and match up

WetSaw · Jan 13, 2019

Should be. The flue is going to be a bit of a pain though as it's going through the left hand wall at 45°.

WetSaw · Jan 13, 2019

If anyone has any ideas on templating split face for a 150mm flue @ 45° I'm all ears!!

Qwerty · Jan 13, 2019

Can you not put a piece of plastic pipe in its place and work around that?

WetSaw · Jan 13, 2019

I'm putting cement board up first , about 3/4 height, tiling that then fitting the stove and making the flue connection. Then finishing up to the ceiling. I'll probably template out of cardboard and guesstimate the angle of the cut.

Wow, really nice John. Intrigued to know what were those panels made of and how were they hung. Cement board on battens? And what did you use for the edges, tiny pieces of tile?

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
