My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What finish should be used for painting brick?

11 years ago
In a room like this with the strong wood presence did you use a matte, a satin or a gloss paint for the white brick? Does the floor have a gloss to it? You have balanced the finishes so well- it's got energy but is soothing.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your question and we are sorry for the late reply. To answer your questions, the paint is Bright White-High Gloss by Mythic and the floor is a resin. I hope this information if helpful.

    Yes, thank you very much. Now I know I shouldn't use flat or eggshell on brick.
