QUESTION

How can I install tile over an existing Exterior Chimney - Do you have any information on tiling the exterior of a stucco chimney? Below freezing in winter. Thanks

ANSWER

ANSWER - There is no specific info on tiling over exterior stucco that I'm aware of, although it can be done if the stucco is, in fact, a concrete product and structurally stable.

If the stucco is structurally stable, clean and free of contaminates the tile/stone can be adhered with a modified thin-set adhesive or an epoxy adhesive. Depends on what kind of tile it is and on the type and condition of the stucco.

Laticrete International (www.laticrete.com) has an epoxy adhesive called Latapoxy 310 and a selection of different thin-sets, so you may consider contacting them for their recommendations.   Good Luck!
