Roman Beige Series: 6" x 12" x 6" Splitface Ledger Corner The "Ethereal Earth" Finish While standard flat tiles leave exposed edges at corners, the Roman Beige Ledger Corner provides a seamless, high-performance wrap for natural stone installations. It is the architectural "missing link" for a "Modern Mediterranean" or "Timeless Tuscan" aesthetic, prioritizing a continuous, three-dimensional texture that makes columns and wall ends look like solid, hand-carved stone. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Achieve the "Master Mason" look with the Roman Beige Ledger Corner. Crafted from premium natural travertine, these L-shaped units are the essential finishing touch for any ledger panel project. They capture the sun-bleached, desert elegance of ancient Roman architecture, featuring a sophisticated palette of warm oatmeal, toasted almond, and soft ivory pits that characterize authentic travertine. The Roman Beige Corner is engineered to eliminate the "dead giveaway" of a DIY project: visible raw edges. These 6" x 12" x 6" interlocking units wrap around outside corners, hiding the thickness of the stone and creating a monolithic, "quarried block" appearance. The Splitface finish—hand-chiseled to expose the stone’s internal character—amplifies the wall’s organic texture, ensuring that your fireplace, island, or exterior pillar looks structurally integrated rather than just "veneered." KEY FEATURES Seamless L-Shaped Design: Precisely cut to wrap 90-degree corners, hiding the "sandwich" look of stacked stone for a professional masonry finish. Classic Travertine Texture: Features the iconic pitted and rugged surface of natural travertine, providing a warm, earthy tactile experience. Tonal "Earth" Harmony: A versatile beige colorway that blends effortlessly with wood beams, white cabinetry, and desert landscaping. Modular "Staggered" Fit: Designed to interlock perfectly with standard 6x24 Roman Beige Ledger panels, ensuring the horizontal lines flow uninterrupted around the corner. High-Performance Natural Stone: Naturally heat-resistant and durable, making these corners ideal for high-impact areas like outdoor kitchen pillars or indoor fireplace hearths. SPECIFICATIONS Attribute Details Collection Ledger Corners Material 100% Natural Travertine Size 6" x 12" x 6" (L-Shaped Corner) Thickness Varies (Approx. 0.75" to 1.25") Finish Splitface (Rugged / Unfilled) Weight Approx. 4.50 Lbs per piece Application Outside Corners / Columns / Fireplace Ends / Retaining Walls Look Old-World Travertine / Rustic Beige INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS ⚠️ CRITICAL: CORNERS FIRST: In any ledger installation, you must install the corner pieces first. Start at the bottom corner and work your way up, then extend the flat panels outward from the corner. This ensures the most stable and visually aligned layout. Manufacturer Recommendations: Recommended Mortar: Use a premium Large-and-Heavy-Tile (LHT) mortar with high-grab properties. This is vital for corners, as they carry weight on two planes. "Back-Butter" for Safety: Apply mortar to the entire back of the L-shape corner to ensure there are no air pockets, which is critical for exterior freeze-thaw durability. No Grout Required: Like the matching panels, these are a "dry-stack" product. Fit them as tightly as possible to maintain the rustic, grout-free aesthetic. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Do I really need corner pieces, or can I just miter the flat panels? While you can miter flat panels, it is extremely difficult to get a clean edge on splitface stone. Corner pieces are "pre-mitered" and staggered at the factory to provide a much cleaner, structural look that saves hours of labor. Is Roman Beige Travertine okay for outside? Yes. Travertine is an incredibly hardy stone used for centuries in outdoor architecture. For exterior use, we recommend a penetrating sealer to protect the stone from salt, pool chemicals, and organic stains. How many do I need? Measure the total vertical height of your outside corner in inches and divide by 6 (the height of one corner piece). Always add 1 or 2 extra pieces for potential height adjustments at the top. PRO INSTALLATION TIPS The "Alternating" Rule: Rotate the corner pieces 180 degrees as you move up the wall. This alternates the long and short sides of the "L," preventing a vertical "seam" line from forming and making the corner look like natural, staggered masonry. Cutting the Ends: If you need to trim the corner piece to fit a specific height, always cut from the bottom of the very first piece to ensure the top remains level as you build up. Dust Management: When cutting travertine, use a wet saw to prevent "white dust" from settling into the deep pits of the splitface surface.
