Stone veneer can add rustic, hefty-looking charm to a full chimney outdoors, or only the visible portion of the chimney that’s inside some homes. Veneer either is sliced from large stones, or manufactured and molded from materials such as concrete. The result is the same natural appearance as whole stones, but with a fraction of the weight. As long as the structure underneath is sound, you can safely install veneer stone over a chimney.

Chimney Preparation
In order for veneer stone to bond, the surface should be rid of any loose material such as dirt, vines and flaking areas of brick. Outdoors, inspect the chimney for small bird or wasp nests, and weeds. This also is a good time to check for areas that need repair. Gaps between the house siding and chimney may need new flashing, exterior-grade sealant (similar to caulk) or both. If you notice loose bricks or creosote, it’s time to call for professional repair. Creosote is a residue from burning firewood, and its presence on the outside of the chimney indicates structural damage. Indoors, painted brick should be cleaned and roughened with a wire brush, as mortar might not bond with it. If the brick isn’t painted, cleaning it with mild detergent and a scrub brush is enough.
Special Indoor Considerations
If the chimney indoors is covered with plaster or drywall, but you want to install stone veneer to make it more prominent, there are a few things you need to do. First is stapling a layer of tar paper or roofing felt over the drywall or plaster. Next comes a layer of wire mesh material called metal lath, which is stapled over the tar paper. Correct orientation of the lath is critical to the installation. It’s fabricated with curved portions in the mesh, which collect and hold mortar. Installed upside down, the lath can’t do its job. If you run your hand over the lath surface, you’ll feel a roughness in one direction. On the wall, the lath should feel rough as you run your hand top to bottom.
Mortar or Adhesive
Masonry mortar traditionally is used to install full stones and stone veneer. It’s a cement-based product, and not available in a premixed container. Mortar begins to set as soon as the dry particles are combined with water. You’ll need dry masonry mortar, and a large container to mix it. When working outdoors to cover the chimney exterior, a wheelbarrow lets you mix large batches. Some stone veneer manufacturers recommend their house-brand mortar or adhesive instead of traditional mortar. If you are using their veneer product, it’s wise to follow their recommendations. In some cases, interior veneer doesn’t need cement-based mortar, and is glued on with a special adhesive instead. Tar paper and metal lath are not required for glued-on veneer.

Installation Techniques
Before the first stones are set, the surface needs a healthy coat of mortar applied with a flat trowel. After the mortar has set briefly, etch horizontal grooves across the surface with the notched edge of a trowel. This gives the next layer of mortar something to grab. Let the mortar set overnight before proceeding, unless the mortar manufacturer recommends otherwise. To bond the veneer, smear the back side of the stones with mortar, then press them against the first layer of mortar. Begin at the bottom of the chimney and work your way up. This part of the job usually requires adjustments here and there until the stones look the way you want them to. After the last stone is set, all that’s left to do is fill in the spaces, called joints, between the stones. The cleanest way to do this is with a mortar bag, which lets you squeeze mortar into the joints.
