What is brick tinting?

Brick tinting is the process of physically changing the colour of brickwork to match surrounding areas. This is achieved by applying a tinting solution to each individual brick or mortar joint.

Brick tinting uses water-based pigments that are non-toxic, non-flammable and odourless. Unlike paint which coats the surface, brick tints are absorbed and chemically bonded into the masonry surface. Firstly, this preserves the original texture and character of the brick. This results in a natural-looking change of colour that’s permanent. This also doesn’t require any ongoing maintenance. It is unaffected by extremes of weather and is UV resistant.

The tinting formulation allows the brickwork to ‘breathe’ in exactly the same way as an untreated surface. This means the continued natural weathering of the building remains unaffected.

The process creates a seamless look by eliminating any inconsistencies in colour between different batches of bricks and masonry. Take look at our Brick Tinting Gallery.

This is not a surface coating or paint. It is iron oxide pigments and a chemical binder, which are applied and penetrate into the brick surface to form a permanent bond. The process enables us to darken, lighten, or completely change the colour of the brick surface to match up extensions incorrect brick choices previously done.

What are the benefits of brick tinting?

Aesthetic enhancement: Brick tinting allows property owners to change the color of their bricks, providing the opportunity to update the overall look and feel of a building. It can help modernize older structures or create a specific architectural style to match the surrounding environment.

Cost-effective alternative: Tinting can be a cost-effective solution compared to replacing the entire brickwork. It allows property owners to achieve the desired color without the expense of sourcing and installing new bricks.
