Drystack fireplace cut edge... what to do?
I’m working on installing dry stacked stone for a fireplace surround. I’m trying to figure out what to do with the cut edge that surrounds the fireplace. The screen isn’t going to hide all of it due to its uneven shape. Any ideas? I’m sure no one else would notice it but it’s going to bug me.

Same paint as you'd use to paint the inside of a firebox. All three sides, and just the half inch to inch , which will reduce the look of the exposed edge and read simply as a bit more frame... After that? Stop staring at it.
A consideration of the cladding prior to setting the firebox, would have been more ideal. Calling a stone mason and paying for a knockdown of the very bulky offenders isn't a bad idea either : )

4年前Knocking corners off manmade lick and stick stone is going to expose the concrete. You can already see the aggregate on the cut ends, which looks awful but at least it's a clean cut. If you're trying to keep with the modern look you could have a metal fabricator make a U-shaped "frame" of black painted 1" square stock to butt up against the cut edges and hide them.

4年前Should have mitered the edges. Or bought the corner pieces. Make either one of those happen and learn your lesson.

At first glance it may only need to be short pieces. Also, the corner cut on the lintel would be removed in a perfect world.
If it only bugs you, you may just have to live with it. In my career I have had a few things not turn out right and I was the only one who had an issue with it-I just learned to averted my eyesJoseph Corlett, LLC

4年前Joseph Corlett, LLC has a really good idea and could look even better than corner stones with less work...
