What Should Brick Staining Look Like?

One Brick At A Time

A true brick stain cannot be sprayed or rolled, it needs to be strategically applied by brush, one brick at a time. 

Staining Brick Is Artistic

A true brick stain should be customized for every project. The stain should only be applied to the brick that needs color enhanced.

Natural Looking

A true brick stain allows the brick to appear natural looking, because it is translucent in nature, Allowing the brick to maintain its natural range.

Water Based

A true brick stain should be water-based and should not contain any acrylic or latex.

Brick Matching 101

To get a brick match, start planning early to find the brick or blend a combination of brick. If you cannot find brick that match, find brick that match in size and texture, and then get as close as you can in color. Then, use a proven masonry stain system to bring the color even closer. Satisfy your customers; simplify your life. Make it match, every time.

Masonry Staining: A Great Option For Masons And Contractors

The dreaded punch list — it can be a terrible experience to receive one when you thought the job was done. How many times have you completed hours, days or weeks of work, only to have your payment withheld because of an imperfection that is now drawing everyone’s attention? How many times have you torn out an imperfection and replaced it, only to have it not match or have it look like a bad patch job?
