The Stonelux Brick Coating in Orange is designed for homeowners and professionals looking to refresh and unify the appearance of brickwork. Its primary benefit is the ability to seamlessly conceal imperfections, cover graffiti, and blend new bricks with existing ones, providing a durable, visually appealing, and authentic brick finish. A potential consideration is ensuring the masonry surface is prepared correctly for optimal adhesion and longevity.

Yes, it is suitable for non-porous masonry, which includes previously painted surfaces, provided the paint is sound and well-adhered. It's recommended to lightly abrade or clean the painted surface and test for adhesion in a small area first.
Typically, one to two coats are sufficient for a uniform finish. The exact number may depend on the porosity of the brickwork and the desired color intensity. It's best to apply a second coat if the first coat is patchy or does not achieve the desired opacity.
The coating is quick drying. It is usually dry to the touch within 1-2 hours, and subsequent coats can be applied after approximately 4-6 hours, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
It is not recommended to apply the coating if the temperature is below 5°C (41°F) or if frost is expected. Optimal application temperatures are between 10°C and 25°C (50°F and 77°F).
Clean brushes, rollers, and spray equipment immediately after use with water. Dried product may be difficult to remove.
No, Stonelux Brick Coating is formulated to be breathable. This allows moisture vapor to escape from the masonry, preventing potential damage like frost shattering or efflorescence.
Developed with durability in mind, the coating is hard-wearing and designed to withstand the test of time, offering long-lasting protection and visual appeal for your masonry.
Ensure thorough mixing of the product before application. Apply in consistent, even strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats and apply a second coat if necessary.
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure the masonry was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. For porous surfaces, a suitable primer might have been omitted. Remove affected coating and reapply after correct surface preparation.
In very hot or windy conditions, the coating can dry too rapidly, leading to brush marks. Work in smaller sections and consider applying during cooler parts of the day. Use a slightly damp roller or brush to extend the working time if necessary.
Surface Preparation: Ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, loose render, or efflorescence. Any existing coatings or sealants should be removed. For porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be required. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Application: Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Work the coating into the surface for maximum adhesion. Apply subsequent coats when the previous coat is dry to the touch, typically within a few hours, depending on conditions. Avoid applying in very wet or freezing conditions.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on both porous and non-porous masonry, including brickwork and render. Ensure compatibility with any existing treatments on the surface before full application.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. The finished surface is generally maintenance-free. For cleaning the coated brickwork, use a soft brush and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing, which could damage the coating.
