Quick question about external insulation on a stone faced house.

The house will be getting pumped along with external insulation however the front of the house will be getting faced in a dry stone like in pics below. If one faces the front in stone, let's the 2 corners corner stones protrude on past the same thickness of the external insulation will be on the 2 gables running into the back of the stone, is there a way to stop the insulation getting damp where it meets the back of the stone if the stone takes a good bit of weathering.

Cheers, I did that stoneworks this time last year, have another to do but trying to work out about the external insulation running into the back of it as per thread.

That's very, very well built stone, you are the man..
 
you will need a system stop bead which is the thickness of the insulation. plumb line it in and use compression band tape to fill the voids which will expand to the texture of the stone.


but why youd wanna change the look of that i dont know looks smart
 
you will need a 6mm stop bead. Don’t bother with a level, eye it up and use expanding foam to fill the voids which will expand to the texture of the stone. Cut it off and Roberts your fathers brother


I understand why youd wanna change the look of that i think it’s shite
That’s totally wrong, and not nice either
