That''s considered an "adhered veneer", so technically, it should hang on it's own with no reliance on the stone below it. Quite often, we install thin stone from the to top down, to keep the stone cleaner. That being said, you may be challenged to remove only "some" of the stone at the bottom w/o creating collateral damage to more stone above.............
removing stone tile from chimney for flashing installation
hi guys,
I have a cultured stone covered chimney and recently I found out that there is a leak through the flashing and I need to replace them.
However because it was fully covered with the stone i will have to remove the bottom part of the stone where it meets the roof to be able to install the new flashing.
My question is while the bottom stones are removed would it affect the ones up above causing it to collapse?
Here is a picture of what kind of stone it was on my chimney and the chimney is actually wooden chimney and not concrete.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
