Brick Staining
Brick Staining for a Permanent, Natural Finish
At Building Blocks Construction, our belief is that our customers’ needs are of utmost importance. Our team is committed to meeting those needs. Our system for refinishing brick is a proven process that transforms old, tired brick, or outdated brick color into a fresh, clean look while protecting your home or building for years to come.
When it comes to applying color to brick surfaces, the product you select is as critical as the company you choose. Be sure to select a knowledgeable company with a track record of standing behind their work and using the right product for your project.
Brick Staining vs Brick Painting
Permanent Coloring vs Short-Term Solution
Exterior brick painting requires maintenance every 3-5 years due to issues like adhesion failures from efflorescence. In contrast, brick staining is permanent - the stain absorbs into the brick, forming a chemical bond that tints the color without requiring ongoing maintenance.
Breathable Finish vs Moisture Trapping
Brick is a porous surface that must be able to breathe and release moisture. Painting traps moisture, leading to blistering, chipping, and potential water damage over time. Our breathable brick stain allows the brick to release moisture properly.
Bonding vs Surface Coating
Paint simply coats the brick's surface in a non-breathable film. Our stain penetrates deep and forms an actual chemical bond with the masonry through a petrification process, permanently locking in the color.
Natural Texture vs Flat Finish
While paint creates a flat finish that hides the brick's natural texture, our slightly translucent stain enhances and highlights the inherent texture. You can feel the actual brick, not just paint.
