Q: What elements influence the pricing of installing a non-gas brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime my brick fireplace before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> on your brick fireplace before painting it. Brick is highly absorbent, so your first few coats of paint will likely seep into the surface of your fireplace, allowing the natural color of the brick to seep through. To avoid this, you&rsquo;ll want to use one or two coats of primer, followed by the topcoat. </p></div>

Q: Can you stain red brick white?

• <div><p>You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn&rsquo;t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use to whitewash brick?

• <div><p>When it comes to painting your bricks, you&rsquo;ve got a few options. Traditionally, lime wash (a mix of aged, burned, and crushed lime and water) was used to whitewash brick or stone. You can also find premixed brick whitewash paint that cuts out a few steps and lets you get started faster. However, for the best results, we recommend using a DIY whitewash (white acrylic paint mixed with water).</p></div>

Q: Which is better: German schmear, whitewash, or limewash?

• <div><p>When comparing which is better between German schmear, whitewash, and limewash, your answer will depend on the look you're going for. German schmear is the best option for those who want a heavily distressed look for their brick without full coverage. Whitewash is best if you like the current brick color and want it to show through. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-limewash-paint.htm">Limewash paint</a> is best for full coverage.</p></div>
