Corner support assembly and method for installing same

A corner support assembly, comprising:

• a first portion having a first flange configured and arranged to be connected to a corner;
• a second portion having a second flange, the second portion being operatively connected to the first portion, the second portion being configured and arranged to be adjustable relative to the first portion to vary a distance between the first and second flanges of the first and second portions to accommodate varying thicknesses of different types of insulation between the first and second flanges;
• and
• wherein the first portion includes a first member having a first inner leg and a first outer leg and a third member having a third inner leg and a third outer leg, the first flange being formed by the first outer leg and the third outer leg, wherein the second portion includes a second member having a second inner leg and a second outer leg and a fourth member having a fourth inner leg and a fourth outer leg, the second flange being formed by the second outer leg and the fourth outer leg, wherein a first inside surface of the first inner leg is positioned adjacent a third inside surface of the third inner leg, a second inside surface of the second inner leg is positioned adjacent a first outside surface of the first inner leg, and a fourth inside surface of the fourth inner leg is positioned adjacent a second outside surface of the second inner leg.

A method of connecting veneer to a corner of a structure, comprising:

• providing a veneer having an insulation thickness;
• providing a corner support assembly, the corner support assembly comprising:
• a first portion having a first flange configured and arranged to be connected to a corner and a first leg extending from the first flange;
• and
• a second portion having a second flange and a second leg extending from the second flange, the second leg being directly slidably connected to the first leg, the second portion being configured and arranged to be adjustable relative to the first portion by moving the second leg relative to the first leg to vary a length formed by the first and second legs between the first and second flanges of the first and second portions to accommodate varying thicknesses of different types of insulation positioned between the first and second flanges;
• connecting the first flange to the corner of the structure;
• adjusting the distance between the first and second flanges to accommodate the insulation thickness;
• positioning the insulation between the first and second flanges;
• and
• connecting the second flange to the veneer.
