How to Create a Realistic Brick Pattern on Concrete Walls<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”94999″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Are you looking to add some brick-like style to your concrete walls? Stenciling is a great way to achieve a faux brick look without the cost and labor of installing actual brick. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use stencils and concrete overlay to create a realistic brick pattern on your walls.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/QpIPCE-m8Jc” align=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gather your materials: You’ll need a self-adhesive paper stencil or a DIY masking tape stencil, as well as Direct Colors integrally colored concrete overlay and a hopper gun.<\/li>\n
  2. Apply a base coat of smooth gray overlay: Use the hopper gun to apply a coat of smooth gray concrete overlay to the wall.<\/li>\n
  3. Tape off the area with the stencil: Use the self-adhesive paper stencil or the DIY masking tape stencil to mark off the area where you want the brick pattern to appear.<\/li>\n
  4. Spray a thin coat of colored overlay: Use the hopper gun to spray a thin coat of colored concrete overlay (we used Earthen Red) over the taped off area. This will create the brick finish.<\/li>\n
  5. Remove the stencil and add highlights: Once the overlay has dried, carefully remove the stencil and add highlights by applying varying shades of tinted concrete sealer to random bricks.<\/li>\n
  6. Seal the concrete: Finish the project by sealing the concrete with a satin finish sealer to protect and deepen the color.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
