FAQs

What is Stonelux Brick Coating?

It's a textured paint designed to change the colour and appearance of brickwork, while also concealing imperfections and protecting the masonry.

Can I use this on any type of brick?

It is suitable for both porous and non-porous masonry. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility and achieve the desired finish.

How do I prepare the surface before applying?

The surface must be clean, dry, and free from loose material. Power washing may be required, followed by a drying period. Depending on the surface type, a primer might be necessary.

What colours are available?

Stonelux Brick Coating is available in various colours, including Brown, Red, Beige, and Orange. Please refer to the product's colour options for a full list.

How long does the coating last?

The coating is formulated for durability and longevity, designed to withstand the test of time. Actual lifespan depends on environmental conditions and maintenance.

Can I apply it in cold weather?

It is best to apply the coating in dry conditions within the manufacturer's recommended temperature range. Avoid application when frost or freezing temperatures are expected.

How do I clean the coated brickwork?

Clean gently using water and a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or texture

Ensure thorough stirring of the product before and during application. Check for inconsistent application thickness or inadequate surface preparation.

Peeling or flaking after application

This is often due to poor surface preparation, moisture ingress, or application in unsuitable weather conditions. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly primed (if necessary) before application. Avoid applying in damp conditions or when frost is expected.

Product not adhering well

Verify that the masonry surface was free of dust, dirt, and contaminants. Re-assess the need for a primer, especially on non-porous or very porous surfaces. Ensure application temperature was within the recommended range.

Visible imperfections through the coating

Apply an additional thin coat, ensuring even coverage. For very deep imperfections, consider a suitable masonry filler before applying the coating.
