Can Bricks Be Stained a Different Color

Staining is a perfect way to maintain the natural brick look of a home. Different bricks can be stained in different shades to add variety.

How do you change the color of bricks?

Bricks can be either stained or painted. Paint often peels or chips and it lasts only a few years before you have to repaint the bricks. Stain is a longer-lasting solution to changing the color of the bricks.

Is it OK to stain brick?

Brick stain works best when applied to unsealed, clean, fully porous brick. It cannot be applied to painted brick. Brick stain itself does not protect the brick, though it is possible to purchase brick stain with protective additives.
