Brick sealing has become very common nowadays thanks to its versatility and ease of application. The best part is that it goes on quickly, even for those who aren’t master craftsmen. It’s also known for withstanding extreme weather, making it an ideal home improvement project. This video shows how to use a brick sealant correctly.
As mentioned, bricks can crack when exposed to water or moisture.
Therefore, an excellent solution to this problem is to apply a brick sealant that prevents water absorption while maintaining the brick’s original appearance. However, there are several things to consider before starting the brick sealing project. These include the type of sealant to buy, the tools needed, and the materials needed for the job.
Before proceeding, it is advisable to ensure the bricks are free from dust, moisture, or other contaminants. They mustn’t contain cracks or holes that might weaken them since such defects would prevent water from draining away from the walls. Then, the spraying should proceed using a wet lock sealer in a gallon spray bottle. This process can take 30 minutes, depending on the project size.
