Painted brick exudes a captivating charm when new, but as time passes, its allure tends to wane. Removing paint or sealer from brick may appear daunting, but with the right equipment and expertise, restoration or re-sealing is a routine process. Thankfully, sandblasting is the key to rejuvenating your brick surfaces by stripping away layers of paint and grime, making them appear as good as new. Our refined fine media blasting process breathes new life into your brick walls, and here's how we approach the job.
For masonry surfaces, we prefer dry sandblasting due to its ability to deliver a thorough cleaning without creating a messy environment. Wet blasting, on the other hand, has the potential to erode your mortar and seep into the porous brick mortar joints.
The crucial element when cleaning brick is the ability to adjust the pressure to suit the condition of the brick and the thickness of the paint. We always initiate the process with very low pressure and incrementally increase it until the paint begins to peel away from the brick, all the while ensuring that the underlying brick surface remains unharmed.
To minimize the risk of any unintended damage, we meticulously protect your windows, wood trim, or any sensitive adjacent surfaces. This precaution is vital because the pressure required to clean brick could alter the appearance of nearby materials.
Opting for a professional sandblasting company is a wise choice, saving you both time and the potential expense of extensive repairs. With us, your brick surfaces will be brought back to life, preserving their beauty and structural integrity.
