Q: Can You Limewash Surfaces Other Than Brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won&rsquo;t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you&rsquo;ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can&rsquo;t absorb limewash, so it&rsquo;s not suited for these.</p></div>

Q: Should I use mortar or concrete for a chimney crown?

• <div><p>You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.</p></div>

• <div><p>A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide. </p></div>

Q: How often should I clean my home’s brick?

• <div><p>You should clean your home&rsquo;s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-brick-fireplace.htm">cleaning brick fireplaces</a>.
