Brick & Mortar Tinting

The technique of tinting brickwork and mortar by applying oxide pigments in a potassium silicate liquid gains a permanent tint to the surface of brick/mortar and other masonry products including natural stone aswell as dry and wetcast stone.

Experience has shown that such tinting is a permanent modification of surface colour and the treatment has no adverse effects on the durability or other performance attributes of the masonry. Most often the reason for its use is to rectify mis-shading of bricks and mortar or to correct bad colour blending.

Here at Henleystone Remedials we have been using this techniques on extension projects to blend new and old materials, i.e. if original bricks cannot be sourced. These techniques are also valuable on restoration projects. We also use this system in rectifying brick blending on new builds where mixing packs of bricks hasn't been successful. Henleystone Remedials have technicians who have been specialising in this field for over 20 years. Our skilled tradesman are among the most experienced in the industry. Some of which have carried out tinting works all over the globe. Including regular visits to Europe and North America.
