What is Brick Tinting?

Put in a nutshell, brick tinting is considered to be the single most efficient and cost-effective method of making permanent changes to the colour of mortar, bricks and other masonry substrates. A successful technique used for 40 years or so, the process involves application of a potassium-silicate medium containing oxide-based colour-fast pigments to the surface of bricks and other masonry surfaces.

How it Works

The tint used is not a type of surface coating or paint, but a combination of a liquid chemical binder (the potassium-silicate) to which iron oxide pigments have been added. On application, this mixture penetrates into the brick/masonry substrate, where it forms a permanent bond. In essence, the process enables lightening, darkening or a complete change of brick/substrate colours in order to achieve an exact match to specific requirements.
