“The Stone with the built in Corner”

Vyking  8” corner detail. Note that 2 corner block are made from 1 standard block

Vyking  6” corner detail. Note that 2 corner block are made from 1 standard block

Vyking 8” block are “cored” (hollow) and are filled with stone as the wall is built. Vyking 6” block are “solid” (not hollow), so there is no need to fill these as the wall is built. When making corners the 6” block is simply split in half along a grove on the face and you then have two corners, for the 8” block follow the illustration below,  there are groves to cut the block in half as well as cut off the “web”, this will then make two “stub” corners that will be attached with masonry adhesive.

Please review the VYKING BROCHURE available from your distributor for a more accurate descriptions as well as any specifications needed. Corners should not be cut for “adjustment”,  normally the block next to the corner is adjusted for setback and to keep the joints in the middle of the block above.
