installing thin brick veneer on island

last year

I am installing thin brick veneer on a kitchen island. My chosen thin brick does not come with corner bricks. What do I need to do to get finished looking corners?

Are you trying to get it to look like full size brick? Then pick a different line with corner pieces.

Otherwise, cutting the ends at 45 deg looks ok.

I guess you could make your own corner pieces with epoxy, brick dust, artful painting - if you are quite crafty!

The bigger issue is getting them to adhere.

Making the corners 8x8 hardwood posts, maybe carved, would add a solid finished look to the island.

Maybe reconsider the thin brick. Wood that matches your cabinetry is probably a better choice anyway.
