Your LimeLike product was an integral component to transforming our 1980 colonial home in Ellicott City, Maryland into what we're calling "Late-Century Modern". The color samples and a number of test brick (from sills that were being replaced) were extremely helpful. We settled on equal parts Fossil Gray, Dover White, and Dark Ash to get the color we wanted. We made a slightly-thin mix (25% more water than usual) to retain some of the original color variation. Applying LimeLike was easier than painting, and was greatly-simplified (understatement) once we decided to use the same color for the mortar as the brick. Doing so otherwise would have been quite tedious to avoid an overloaded brush to run down onto the mortar below. Thanks for making a great product and providing the help we needed to achieve this incredible transformation.

We are absolutely delighted with the new look of our wall.
What a fantastic product, easy to mix and apply, great colour, (fossil grey) and so reassuring to know it’s not paint so our bricks can still breath nicely :) such helpful friendly staff too, thanks guys!

We bought a red brick mid-century ranch 3 years ago and have been renovating it since. The outside was nice, but I wanted to up the curb appeal. I was originally going to paint the brick, but did some research and came across a product called Limelike from Dyebrick. It's similar to a Lime but is supposed to be more eco-friendly. It allows the brick to "breathe" unlike paint. It ships as powder in bags and you mix it with water, allowing you to control the dilution and coverage. I did some testing and liked the non-uniform look, so I added about 950ml of water per pack instead of the recommended 850ml for higher transparency. It dries within an hour and it's super easy. Covers quicker than paint and almost goof proof

Julie used Dyebrick Charcoal to blacken her bricks. She then applied LimeLike 'Dover White' with a natural sponge roller to produce this fabulous transformation!

Greetings Dyebrick! Limelike Fossil Gray looks amazing on our home! Thank you for your technical assistance and quick shipping when we needed help and more product. Our neighbors are in love and so are we! We live in MN with warm humid summers and harsh winters. Prior to starting our project, we hired a mason to repair some mortar/tuck pointing. He said 90% of his service work is repairing painted (sealed) brick that is deteriorating, not a good option in our climate. We are so happy to find LimeLike product that allows our brick to breathe and completely transformed our home that we purchased one year ago. Our bricks were multicolored (and loud, and so ugly) and also very coarse. When we started our project we tried the sample packages to decide color and dilution. The dilution of 1 Liter to 600g covered all of the original brick, one coat, and our end results still has varied shades of gray. Here are some photos, please disregard our landscaping, our next project:) Curt & Robyn

Stuart wanted to lighten his bricks, so we visited his property and matched up a special colour for him. The cost of the product was £80 for this project. Please contact us if you require your bricks lightening.
