Is brick stain permanent?

• <div><p>Staining or painting brick isn’t something to do on a whim. Make sure you really want to live with stained brick, because once you apply the stain, it’s permanent.

Q: Are stone houses practical?

• <div><p>Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren&rsquo;t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone. </p></div>

Q: Do you use mortar or grout for German smear?

• <div><p>In certain cases, such as when dealing with surfaces like concrete rather than brick, grout can be used instead of mortar. Grout tends to be more convenient to work with on non-masonry surfaces. However, many experts suggest using mortar whenever possible, as it provides stronger adherence to the bricks and results in a more textured appearance.</p></div>

Q: When should I worry about cracks in brick walls?

• <div><p>You should worry about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">brick wall cracks</a> when they are wide and growing, or in a horizontal or stair-step pattern. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other signs of structural stress. In these cases, a foundation specialist should inspect your home.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint stone on the exterior of a house?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It&rsquo;s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You&rsquo;ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.</p></div>
