So when painting brick it is very important to use the right paint because if you don’t it can trap the moisture trap moisture, which leads to peeling paint, bubbling, mold, and even brick damage over time. A breathable masonry or mineral-based product is usually better because it lets moisture escape while still giving coverage and color. So in picking the right paint It also seals and conditions the surface, resists mildew and efflorescence, and is designed to provide stronger adhesion and longer-lasting protection un like the previous coating on this job there was so much efflorescence build up I though there was cotton stuck to the walls so in this case I scraped wiped and vacuumed the walls followed by using miracle bond to fill cracks and holes followed by 2 coats of loxon xp from sherwin Williams and then applied 2 coats of porch and floor to the floor and results happy client and huge transformation!!!
