• You will require a little practice similar to careful home decorating methods, and follow the detailed instructions supplied with each kit.
  
  A good idea is to practice using plain water and a 2-inch pure bristle paintbrush (not nylon) on your bricks. This will enable you to judge how much to load your brush to prevent runs or spillage. You will also to be able to asses how the brick 'draws' the product from your brush and what pressure needs to be applied to effectively dye your bricks. If you measure out 600mls you will also be able to ascertain how much area you can cover so you will know how much to order (see also our Coverage Rates page).
  
  Remember to let any areas that you have practiced on fully dry out prior to starting any tinting work.

What is the ideal weather and temperature range for applying Dyebrick products?

• The recommended temperature range in Fahrenheit for applying Dyebrick is between 60 and 85 degrees. Dyebrick should not be applied if the temperature is above 95 degrees. Dyebrick should not be applied to brickwork exposed to direct sunlight when the temperature is above 75 degrees. Dyebrick ideally should be applied in warmer weather. However, if using in winter-time then it should only be applied when the temperature is 40 degrees  on a rising thermometer. Dyebrick should not be used on damp or wet masonry.
  

• No, our products are only available through our online shop.

• Yes, Dyebrick is odourless and non-toxic.

• Yes, Dyebrick is ideal for use on fireplaces, as it is completely fire-resistant and will not evolve any fumes, harmful or otherwise.

• No, Dyebrick is not effective with these types of bricks unless a proprietary sealer is used afterwards. If you are using our products for these materials, please contact us for guidance.

• Dyebrick kits have a shelf life of at least 3 years. However, when the contents have been mixed for use, they are prone to particle settlement. If Dyebrick is to be stored in its mixed form, then it must be agitated at least twice a week until use.

• We now supply sample pots specifically for this purpose, they are supplied in small pots that contain 100ml of a standard Dyebrick prepared colour (e.g. as made when mixing the initial 600ml solution with the Dyebrick Brick Tinting Kit).

• We offer help and advice through our website via email and telephone.

• Yes, Dyebrick is effective in colouring a wide variety of stonework. However, trials must be carried out on a small area first to assess the suitability and compatibility with your particular masonry. Please note that the Dyebrick Lifetime guarantee only applies to brickwork and does not apply to stonework. Masonry treated with Dyebrick can be sealed with most proprietary sealers when using on these surfaces.

• Yes, Dyebrick can colour a variety of concrete. However, trials must be carried out first to assess the suitability and compatibility with your particular masonry. Please note that the Dyebrick Lifetime guarantee only applies to brickwork and does not apply to concrete. Masonry treated with Dyebrick can be sealed with most proprietary sealers when using on these surfaces.

• Dyebrick colour stains are not recommended for horizontal surfaces subjected to pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
  Horizontal non-traffic areas can be treated and can produce a very durable finish. The level of durability will depend on the type and quality of your masonry, the degree of exposure to the weather, accidental spillages and various domestic cleaning activities.
  Because of all these variables Dyebrick is not able to provide a guarantee for any of their products used on horizontal surfaces. Masonry treated with Dyebrick can be sealed with most proprietary sealers when using on these surfaces.

• No, we are a supply-only company. However, we are able to suggest a company that carries out this work, depending on your location. See the Dyebrick Approved Contractors website for more information.
