What Beauty Lies Beneath Your Painted Brick?
At London Brick Restoration Specialists Ltd, we love brick. It’s a fantastic, natural yet durable building material that requires very little upkeep. And its crowning glory is its finish: brick comes in a variety of colours and veneers, which are highly decorative in themselves. Painted brickwork very rarely matches the beauty of what lies beneath.
Is Your Painted Brick Causing Damp? The bottom line is that most bricks were never designed to take paint, so the upkeep of a painted brick surface is inherently difficult. It peels readily, thereby looking tatty quite soon after repainting, and can even be the root of problems with damp. Georgian and Victorian homes especially were designed to have porous walls, and covering your brickwork with paint immediately stops it from ‘breathing’, giving rise to a damp interior.
Removing Paint Is Not An Easy Process Paradoxically given its tendency to peel it is difficult to completely remove paint from brickwork. This is related to the porous nature of the underlying brick. Harsh physical methods such as sanding away the paint residue are a terrible idea, because they will inevitably damage the surface of the brick and lead to other, more complex problems. The only viable option for a good result is expertise and patience (although a certain amount of careful sanding or grinding may be necessary for stubborn areas of paint residue).
