Brick stain is a fantastic option for those looking to change the appearance of their brickwork permanently. Unlike paint, which sits on top of the surface, brick stain is a mineral-based product that penetrates the brick, becoming a permanent part of it. This makes it highly resistant to chipping, bubbling, or peeling away from the brick.
To achieve the best results, brick stain should be applied to clean, unsealed, and fully porous brick. It's not suitable for painted brick, as it will bead on top of the paint. For optimal results, it's best to use a paint sprayer to apply the stain, as brick is highly porous and often requires several coats.
While brick stain does not offer any protection to the brick, there are options available with added protective additives. You can purchase brick stain from home improvement stores, paint retailers, or e-commerce sites. While going to a store for paint swatches can be helpful, since the stain's appearance depends on the brick it's being applied to, purchasing it online can save you a trip.
