Creating a Fake Brick Wall | Faux Brick Effect Render

Sponsored by Bostik, Are you trying to get a brick wall look without bricklaying? Try using the Bostik Brick Effect Render system.

The faux brick wall system is applied in two easy steps, starting with a grey mortar undercoat. Once this is touch-dry it's followed by a coloured face coat which is cut through with a specialised tool included in the pack to expose the grey mortar underneath, creating a brick and mortar joint effect.

Both coats are polymer modified render, offering excellent adhesion and weather resistance whilst remaining vapour permeable.

Andrew Hamman, category manager for Bostik, commented:

“With the summer months approaching, merchants are likely to see an increase in demand for external renovation and refurb products. Our new Brick Effect Render system provides a simple, effective way to revive the appearance of walls that may need to be updated – such as garden walls or prefabricated buildings.”

Garden State face brick use to do that to house around New York. They were fast and it looked good. My friends house had it on for 40 years before they put siding over it.

I think that would work well. Maybe put a little dent  in the surface with a churn brush. I would like to have tried some black flecks in those bricks just to see.
