Looks great! I wonder how the stain held up 2 years after.
@MasonryCosmetics3 ай бұрын
Ted, sorry for getting to this so late. The pavers are over 23 years old now; the first time we stained them, they lasted over 10 years to where they needed to be stained again; then, some more time went by, and we restained them, and I am guessing that lasted 5 to 6 years. This last time lasted about 1 1/2 years. The pavers are crumbling; I had leftover treads/step pavers and have almost used all those up because the pavers are in such a bad state. No more staining them now. They are just too far gone. I just took a good look at them last week as I was pulling weeds. The pavers really need to be replaced. But the budget is not there for that. Thank you for your question. Don

Not sure if you’re still following comments on your post, but… what about flare surfaces like brick steps. Just had a new walkway with stairs done, and they used bright white mortar… in part. :-/ also used a beige… in part. Mason won’t come back and repoint it… hoping to stain the white a bit. We have quite a few stairs though and I wouldn’t want the stain to puddle.

One thing to do is to take some water and pour on a few of the areas that you would like to stain if the mortar darkens we could be a good option to help. The darker the better.

Don, I live in the southern part of Louisiana in a brick home built in the 1960`s. It has been painted twice. Once before I purchased it and again approximately 15 years ago. The last paint finish is a beige color. It has begun to form a powder that doesn't look well on any dark clothing. Need to repaint. Would appreciate any suggestions you could send my way. I am defiantly going to do it myself.

I live in southern new mexico, on a property with very old brick that has already been painted. And the way I have solved the problem above is to use very expensive white truck bed liner as paint. The truck bed liner's chemistry is much more durable and sticks to the brick but also creates strength more than paint does. So one can do this over pealing paint and if you do a lot of layers of truckbed liner it will not peal further. But of course it is expensive. I have the feeling it might last 10 or more years in full sun and rain only time will tell. but anyway I find often it is good to buy products outside of the marketed category. Think outside the box. So buying boat, RV or truck products for household use is often better for these type of projects.

Would you recommend the same process for stone walls that are uneven?
@MasonryCosmetics8 ай бұрын
Our products are designed for absorbent masonry. Make sure your stone passes our water test. Make sure your stone is stainable A true brick stain is long-lasting because the pigments embed themselves into the masonry pores, like a tattoo would on your body. If the masonry is sealed or has low absorption, our brick stain will not be able to chemically bond with it well, and we do not recommend using our product. To check your masonry's absorption, pour a little water on the wall. If the water beads off it and doesn't darken the wall, you have low absorption. If the wall absorbs the water, and the wall darkens until it is dry, you should be able to successfully stain brick.

Can you use this with a sprayer?
@MasonryCosmetics10 ай бұрын
We wish we could say yes to spraying. Our product strength is that it is the best product for changing the color of absorptive brick and/or mortar but needs three things. 1. Needs to be applied to absorptive masonry (Just use a glass or bottle of water and pour it on, if the masonry darkens while getting wet then it is a good candidate) 2. Needs applied the right way by brush or sponge. We want the brick or mortar or stone to absorb the stain into the surface. We use the term "Drink" our product in, the brick for example will only drink so much at one time, so we might stain the brick, let dry then stain again with an second application if needed. 3. To apply the stain in the right conditions, you want clean, acid free, dry walls. We are not a paint or paint like stain, no acrylic or latex in our process but just natural pigments made in brick manufacturing mixed with a water based elixir. Our process cannot hurt or compromise the brick in anyway. Hand applying by brush or sponge is the best way.

Thank you Don, for sharing the level of detail and trouble you went to. To be honest I loved your pavers and retaining walls after the cleanup and before staining. However, your colour choices really gave it a lift. It is stunning without being too much. I want to do this to some old red toned pavers. My problem is I live in Australia and many of our products are different. Could you advise what the base is with the pigment and whether the stain is etched or simply absorbed, and is there any way that it could fade or lift after rain? I love it and want to get rid of the faded reds and yellows with the greys like you did. Do you think this would cover reddish tones? Also, if moisture seeps into the pavers after rain for example, will this compromise the effect? Thank you
@MasonryCosmetics10 ай бұрын
Thank you for the kind words, it is appreciated. I share with the team if this old man who needs a knee replacement can do it anyone can. First thing is to do a simple water test on the surface, just use a glass or bottle of water and pour it on, if the pavers darkens while getting wet then it is a good candidate, the darker the better. We use a translucent- like slurry that is water-based so no etching but absorption required. We are not a paint or paint like stain, no acrylic or latex in our process but just natural pigments made in brick manufacturing mixed with a water based elixir. Our process cannot hurt or compromise the pavers in anyway. You are asking great questions. No fading or lifting but need three things to be successful - 1. Needs to be applied to absorptive pavers you will know by your water test. 2. Needs applied the right way by brush. We want the pavers to absorb the stain into the surface. We use the term "Drink" our product in, the paver for example will only drink so much at one time, so we might stain the paver, let dry then stain again with an second application if needed but do not want to overload the paver with to much stain at one time that it dries on the surface, we need it to absorb in. 3. To apply the stain in the right conditions, you want clean, acid free, dry pavers. On Vertical walls when we apply it we give a lifetime warranty and have over 400 Case Studies proving the long lasting ability of our process. So no fading, cracking, peeling, blistering or flaking but with pavers/horizontal applications the surface of the paver will see erosion and our process does need reapplied at some point, how soon depends on the paver it is applied to. The stained pavers will get wet naturally just like an unstained paver. Please let us know if you have any additional questions, or email to [email protected] any pictures would like to send us, thanks again Don

So now you have me totally freaking out. We bought a house a couple years ago and the brick had already been painted. I know it was primed before and we don't have any major chipping issues. I have no problem dealing with the maintenance, but I'm now concerned about what it's doing to my brick underneath. Is this just a total disaster waiting to happen? If so, any idea how long it takes for the brick to rot underneath? I read that the issues you mentioned tend to impact older brick (pre 1940's) and not so much newer brick. Is this true? Am I better off just letting it do its thing and maintaining any chips or attempting to strip the brick? We live in a nearly 5k sq ft home, I can't imagine how much it would cost to strip this much brick if it's even possible. Should I be losing sleep?
@MasonryCosmetics Жыл бұрын
No, m3dmonds the age of brick does not matter. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] Do you know the product used on your home? - what primer and paint used? -how many coatings? -was the product diluted? -do you have before and after pictures? Possibly we could consider creating a case study of the effects of paint on your home over time. However, we would need detailed information from the contractor. In the meantime, please do not lose any sleep. I would suggest keeping a watchful eye on your home's painted brick exterior (yearly) and provide maintenance as needed.
