MSI Rockmount Sunset Silver Spltface L Panel 6x18

Product Overview

The MSI Rockmount Sunset Silver 6" x 18" L-Shaped Corner Panel is the critical finishing component for the Sunset Silver ledger series. While the flat panels create the "wall," these L-Corners are what give your project architectural integrity, making a pillar or fireplace look like it was constructed from massive, solid blocks of stone rather than thin veneers.

Crafted from premium Silver Travertine, this stone features a sophisticated palette of cool grays, warm pewter, and subtle whites with the signature linear movement of a vein-cut travertine.

MSI Sunset Silver | 6" x 18" L-Shaped Corner Ledger Panel

Achieve a seamless, professional finish with the Sunset Silver L-Panel. These pieces are specifically designed to wrap around 90-degree outside corners. By using a pre-fabricated "L" shape, you eliminate the need for difficult miter cuts and hide the "end-grain" of the stone, ensuring the pattern flows naturally around the corner.

The Split-Face finish provides a rugged, 3D texture that catches shadows beautifully, highlighting the natural silver and charcoal tones of the travertine.

Why These Corners are Essential

• The "Solid Stone" Illusion: Without L-corners, you would have to butt two flat panels together, leaving an exposed, raw edge. These corners wrap the stone, making the structure look like authentic, full-bed masonry.

• Structural Flow: The stones on these panels are staggered at the joint, meaning the horizontal lines of your wall continue around the corner without interruption.

• Reduced Labor: Cutting miters in split-face stone is incredibly difficult and prone to breakage. These pre-made corners save hours of installation time and reduce material waste.

• Travertine Durability: Sunset Silver is a dense travertine that is frost-resistant and heat-safe, making it suitable for both interior chimney breasts and exterior porch columns.

Installation & Handling Guidelines

• Alternate Your Joints: When installing, flip the corner panels every other row (long side left, then long side right). This prevents a "vertical seam" from forming where the corner meets the flat panels.

• Adhesive: Use a high-bond Large Format Tile (LFT) Mortar. Because Sunset Silver has warm and cool tones, a Grey Thinset is typically used to help the joints blend into the shadows of the split-face.

• No Grout: Like the flat panels, these are a "dry-stack" product. Butt them tightly against the flat 6x24 panels.

• Enhancing the Color: If you want the "Sunset" silver tones to look deeper and more saturated, apply an Enhancing Sealer. If you prefer the natural, "dusty" silver look, use a Natural Look Penetrating Sealer.

Care & Maintenance

Use a cleaner appropriate to the listed material and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. Test any cleaner or sealer on a spare piece first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many corners do I need? A: Measure the total vertical height of your corner in inches and divide by 6. For example, an 8-foot (96") tall fireplace corner requires 16 L-panels ($96÷6=16$).

Q: Does "Sunset Silver" have gold in it? A: Yes. Unlike "Silver Travertine" which is strictly gray/white, the "Sunset" variation includes warm beige and sandy gold "tan" highlights that mimic the glow of a sunset.

Q: Can I use these for a window return? A: Yes, these are perfect for wrapping stone into window or door recesses, giving the wall a thick, substantial appearance.
