Brick Lime Painting and Lime Washing Experts in Greensboro, NC

Brick Lime Painting and Lime Washing

The Piedmont area of North Carolina is known for its clay soil which is the reason it is home to many of the largest brick companies in the United States. The various types of clay and different ways of mining and firing the clay give brick many different looks. Over time the look of the bare brick might date the exterior of your house and/or detract from its overall curb appeal and you want to make a change. Applying a coating to the brick can give it the updated look and feel that you are looking for. But you need to be very careful when it comes to coating brick.

Brick Lime Painting and Lime Washing

Like all masonry surfaces, brick is meant to breathe in order for it to do its job correctly and for it to last. Because the purpose of standard architectural coatings is to protect the surface from the elements the process of priming and painting those surfaces with standard water based or oil based primers and paints seal the surface, not allowing them to breathe. Therefore, priming and painting brick, especially exterior brick can create issues with the performance of the primer/paint and the brick leading to bubbling, chipping, peeling, cracking, and spalling. By using the correct type of coating (mineral based) you can achieve the look you want without creating a potential long term and expensive maintenance and performance issue for the paint and the brick.

How Long Can You Keep Paint Before It Goes Bad?

We’ve all been there—a painting project doesn’t use up all the paint you bought, and now it’s time to hammer the lid back on and take it to the garage or basement storage area. That paint will go bad in two to fifteen years. That’s such a big range, so how do you determine when it’ll be spent? Examine the type of paint and storage conditions to estimate shelf life. We’ll walk you through it.
