Brick Coloring

Author : Brick Imaging
Brick coloring can be a tricky decision to tackle. Painting is generally seen as your default option if you want to match brick color or just switch up the style of a brick surface, but then you have to deal with the fact that you have a glossy layer of latex over the brick surface, which can ruin the rustic charm that makes brick so appealing in the first place.
If you don’t want to use paint, an alternative is available. If you want to change the color of your brick surfaces without compromising the natural charm the bricks already have, you should look into brick staining. Brick commercial staining is a way to dye bricks. In other words, you actually change the color of the surface of a brick. When you paint bricks, you’re simply putting another layer of color on top of the
bricks. This can chip and peel and just look kind of unsightly after awhile.
By using a mix of polyurethane and brick staining agent, brick staining can last for decades. This means that, while the color may fade after prolonged exposure to the sun, wind, and rain, it’s never going to have that ugly, blistered, chipped and peeling look to it. And by not leaving a shiny layer of latex on the brick surf ace, it won’t make your house look like it’s wearing a rubber raincoat.
Practical Style
Besides the aesthetic appeal of having a rustic brick appearance, brick staining is just about the only brick coloring method that will let you match brick colors. For example, if you have a house built decades ago, you’re going to have that antique brick look. If you have any additional rooms built onto your home, or if you have repair work done on any of the walls, the bricks are going to look new, and out of place. This might not bother some people, but for a lot of home owners, it can be bothersome.
Brick Matching
With brick staining, you can actually take new brick finishes and make them look like antique bricks. If you’re doing this on your own, it’s as simple as using a towel to rub the stain mixture into the bricks, rather than a paintbrush.
If you’re hoping to do a few small jobs around the house with brick
staining, it’s actually pretty easy to get the hang of it.
Your local hardware store should have plenty of colors to choose from or to mix to the right color. If you can, you should bring in a couple of bricks to make sure you get the right color. One brick should be the color that you want to match, the other should be the brick you want to stain. Any hardware store should be willing to let you try some colors on the new brick before making a purchase, so you can save a little time and money (and headaches) in the process. Then just mix the stain with some polyurethane to help preserve the stain job, and apply it with a paintbrush for general purpose work, a towel for the antique look, or a sprayer or roller for outdoor work.
