2024: Embracing Darker Brick Stains – Black Adds Bold Elegance and Versatility

In 2024, darker colors, especially black, have become increasingly popular for staining brick, offering a bold yet refined touch to any project. Black is a unique color that, while powerful, can seamlessly blend into the right setting when applied with finesse and proper technique. Careful attention is needed to disguise blemishes, streaks, and imperfections, ensuring a flawless finish. Whether you’re going for a touch of Gatsby glamor or channeling a more gothic, timeless look, darker brick stains add depth and character that stands out.

Whether this trend will continue remains to be seen, however 2024 has equally as many requests with darker colors as with the usual white and light grey tones in recent years. Brick Stain and Masonry Stain has been increasing in popularity and we are glad at Mineral Stains, that many people are catching on, that traditional latex, acrylic and elastomeric paints should not be applied on any masonry!

Brick Stain Benefits:

• Breathable: Unlike paint, our brick stains allow the masonry to breathe, preventing trapped moisture and maintaining the integrity of the surface.
• UV Protected: Darker stains, including black, are UV-protected, ensuring long-lasting color that won’t fade or degrade over time, even in harsh sunlight.
