The chiming layer must be laid extremely precisely (e.g. with the help of a laser measurement ). Even slight deviations from the horizontal position of the surface have a noticeable influence on the vertical accuracy of a wall. Special care must Kimmschicht of applying for plan masonry done because the overlying strata with thin-bed mortar are mixed, whereby a further tolerance compensation is hardly possible.

Depending on the type of stone ( sand-lime brick , aerated concrete , brick ) there are chimney stones with special dimensions. In order to reduce the thermal bridging effect of the lowest stone layer, the manufacturers meanwhile offer kining stones made of special materials, which have the effect that the heat losses in this area are lower.
