Can You Paint Brick?

by | Aug 7, 2024

Traditionally, painting brick has been problematic because the paint would blister and peel or, even worse, would result in deterioration of the bricks behind it. Brick’s porous nature allows it to absorb and release moisture, slowing erosion. However, painting over brick seals its microscopic openings, trapping moisture and leading to deterioration, especially in colder climates.

The Solution to Residential Exterior Painting: SurGuard Coatings!

SurGuard offers the solution by providing a high-build acrylic coating that maintains the breathability of brick. This versatile protective coating can be applied to brick walls, stucco, foundations, fascias & soffits, retaining walls, concrete beams, and the undersides of balconies and canopies. It can also be applied over old paint to refresh surfaces when properly prepared.

Key Benefits of SurGuard

  • Weatherproof & Protective: Utilizes stable inorganic components and pigments that repel rain, sleet, and snow, and eliminate vulnerability to elements.
  • Fire Retardant: Completely fire-retardant, ensuring safety.
  • High Breathability: Allows water vapour to pass freely, preventing blistering, peeling, or spalling.
  • Durable and Flexible: Resistant to denting, corrosion, peeling, chipping, and delamination. It withstands temperature fluctuations and is unaffected by alkali.
  • Low Maintenance: Flexible, with excellent impact resistance. Unaffected by water, salt, acids, alkalis, smoke, and smog, making it a long-lasting, cost-effective solution.

SurGuard also meets all North American standards for V.O.C. content, being water-based and environmentally friendly with less than 2% volatile organic compounds.

For homeowners looking to enhance and protect their brick exteriors, SurGuard has been tested and proven to be a reliable and durable solution that maintains the natural breathability of brick
