Q: What does hearth look like?

• <div><p>A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.</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: Do limewash and whitewash harm surfaces?

• <div><p>Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces. </p></div>

Q: How quickly can staining rags combust?

• <div><p>Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source. </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>
