Exposed brick shower

8 years ago

Hello

I have just seen the picture of the shower room you designed with exposed brick. We are looking to do the same in our bathroom but do not know how to seal the bricks. Would you be able to advise how you sealed the bricks in your project?

Thank you :)

I renovated this Bathroom back in 2003. At that time I used a product called Guardcote matte finish clear epoxy from TCR Coatings in St. Louis. I believe Sherwin Williams has a matte clear epoxy also. Plan on cleaning and resealing every other year. Use TSP to clean. Good luck!

Kitchen cabinets will look fantastic painted. The thing to consider when thinking about worktops is the work black granite creates - they show every little watermark, so need a lot of polishing. I discovered this when doing lots of experiments on granite samples! Other thing to bear in mind is granite is porous, so you have to be careful about staining the lighter coloured worktops and granite requires resealing after a few years. Because I'm quite lazy and didn't want any maintenance, plus we are a messy family, I went with Compac Quartz in white mirror, it's practically bomb proof and I haven't managed to stain it yet (3 years on). Comes in tons of colours.

grover, it's not something I would want as I don't like black and white checkerboard tiles.

Need help with stone wall

Well we live in a flat on the 4th floor in Edinburgh city. So we loved the thought of being able to expose the original stone walls of the flat. You can see from the pictures that we had it done for the kitchen and lounge. Since everything of ours are modern, the stone wall really brings an edge to the design. And in the lounge, we painted it the Farrow & Ball Downpipe which we think really sets it off next to the stone. Especially with the mouldings on the window, the lounge has become quite a grand looking space even without any furnishings. And we didn't even get to varnish the walls as we liked the way it looked now. There doesn't seem to be any problems with the dust coming off the walls.

We love Miller & Blake Design Co's idea of exposing the brick work! However, if that's not possible, we agree with Lauren - the mantle will look fantastic painted.
