This is the rugged "Mountain Peak" finish of the collection. While the narrower caps provide a traditional border, the 10x24 Grand Canyon Peak Wall Cap captures the substantial, sweeping character of a natural ridgeline. It is the perfect choice for a "Contemporary Rustic" aesthetic that prioritizes tonal harmony and a wider, protective border for substantial garden walls and luxury seating areas.

PRODUCT TITLE

Grand Canyon Series: Peak 10" x 24" Natural Stone Wall Cap (Double Sided)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Crown your vertical masonry with the rhythmic, textured finish of the Grand Canyon Peak Wall Cap. This premium natural stone slab is a masterful study in tonal variation, featuring an elongated 24-inch long footprint with a generous 10-inch width in a curated palette of smoky ash, charcoal grey, and subtle silver-quartz highlights.

The Grand Canyon Peak is designed to provide a high-end, integrated finish to wider linear walls. Featuring a Double Sided Chiseled Edge, this cap is finished on both long sides, making it the ideal solution for walls visible from both directions, such as double-sided retaining walls or thick patio dividers. Engineered from high-density Quartzite, it serves as a durable, frost-proof shield that protects your "Peak" ledger stone installation from water intrusion while providing a polished, hand-crafted look with an expansive profile.

KEY FEATURES

• Multi-Tonal Grey Palette: A sophisticated blend of charcoal and silver-grey that perfectly coordinates with the Grand Canyon "Peak" ledger panels.

• Double Sided Chiseled Edge: Both long 24" edges are hand-dressed, allowing the cap to look finished and substantial from both sides of the wall.

• Generous 10-Inch Width: Specifically designed for 8-inch wide walls, providing a classic 1-inch overhang on both sides for superior water shedding.

• Natural Cleft Surface: The split-face top provides an authentic, slip-resistant texture that showcases the raw mineral beauty of the stone.

• Extended 24" Length: The longer format creates a cleaner, more modern look with fewer visible seams compared to shorter wall caps.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL: When installing 10-inch wide linear caps, you must ensure the mortar bed is "full coverage." Because of the wider 10-inch span, any hollow spots under the stone can lead to cracking if the wall is used for seating or if heavy objects are placed upon it.

Manufacturer Recommendations:

• Recommended Mortar: A polymer-modified Type S masonry mortar or a specialized exterior-grade stone adhesive (such as LATICRETE Masonry Veneer Mortar).

• Sealing Requirement: To preserve the cool grey tones and prevent organic growth (like moss or algae) in the stone's pores, apply a breathable, penetrating stone sealer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Is this wide enough for a seating wall? Yes. A 10-inch width provides a comfortable and stable surface for garden seating walls, especially when paired with an 8-inch wide masonry core.

• How do I handle corners? For 90-degree wall corners, the pieces should be miter-cut at 45 degrees with a wet saw. You may need to hand-chisel the cut edge to match the factory-dressed finish.

• How many do I need per foot? Since each piece is 24" long, you simply need 0.5 pieces for every linear foot of wall.

PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The "Level and String" Method: Use a string line along the outer chiseled edge to ensure the caps are perfectly straight. Use a level across the 10-inch width to ensure water drains away from any adjacent structures.

• Back-Buttering: For a stone this size and weight, "back-butter" each piece with a thin layer of mortar before setting it onto the wall. This ensures a 100% bond and prevents the stone from rocking.

• Joint Spacing: Leave a 1/8" to 1/4" gap between the stones. Fill these joints with a color-matched grout or masonry sand to allow for natural thermal expansion.
