Transform Your Brick: Apply Mineral Stains Sol-Silicate Over Brick and Masonry Painted Surfaces! 🧱
Unlocking the Potential of Sol-Silicate for Previously Painted Masonry Mineral Stains’ Sol-Silicate is an innovative solution for rejuvenating previously painted masonry surfaces. It can be effectively applied to a variety of materials, including Brick, Mortar, Stone, EIFS, Stucco, and even Cement Boards, commonly referred as “Hardie boards”. We are excited to share a solution on your next brick stain project!
How It Works: With a pH of 11, Sol-Silicate contains higher silica content and less potassium silicate, making it a hybrid that bonds seamlessly with latex and acrylic paints. As the original paint breaks down over time, Sol-Silicate continues to protect the masonry by providing UV resistance and breathability, similar to the adhesive strength of Gorilla Glue.
Cost-Effective Alternative: Compared to traditional methods like sandblasting or dry ice—which can be costly and potentially damaging—Sol-Silicate offers a more affordable and safer approach for older and conservation buildings. By avoiding damage to brick and mortar, it preserves the integrity of your structures. Conclusion Using Sol-Silicate not only saves money but also enhances the longevity and appearance of your masonry. Its unique formulation ensures effective protection and durability.
Benefits: Sol-Silicate paint is revolutionizing the way we think about painted masonry, and for good reason. This innovative technology is gaining popularity fast, and today I’m excited to share with you why it’s becoming the go-to choice for homeowners who want to take their homes to the next level. Traditional painted masonry has always had its drawbacks.
Common Issues: Peeling, fading, and moisture problems are just a few of the common issues homeowners face when using regular paint. These problems don’t just affect the appearance of your home; they can also lead to costly repairs and maintenance down the line. I’ve talked to so many homeowners who’ve tried to tackle these issues with traditional paint, only to be left disappointed and frustrated. The constant cycle of repainting and repairing can be exhausting, not to mention the environmental impact of all those chemicals. One of the biggest problems with traditional paint is that it’s not breathable. This means that moisture gets trapped behind the paint, leading to peeling, flaking, and all sorts of other issues. And let’s not forget about the aesthetic appeal – or lack thereof. Many traditional paints just can’t deliver the same level of vibrancy and depth that Sol-Silicate can. And have you ever noticed how some paints seem to fade and dull over time? It’s like they’re losing their spark.
Solution: But what if I told you there’s a solution that can solve all these problems and more? Sol-Silicate stain is a game-changer because it allows your masonry to breathe, releasing moisture and preventing those pesky peeling and fading issues. And the best part? It’s eco-friendly, sustainable, and made from natural ingredients. This means you can feel good about what you’re putting on your home, and the results are simply stunning.
History: Mineral stains have been around since the late 1880’s, opposed to latex and acrylic paints that found their way in the 1940’s. Waterglass known as “Potassium Silicate” was the key ingredient, replacing Lime products that are breathable, but fade over time, which allow a pigment color to penetrate into the masonry cavity and become as one, versus paint simply puts a coating over the surface, thus entrapping moisture and accelerating the lifespan of any masonry!
