About Mineral Coating
Preserve your brick’s natural beauty while giving it long-lasting protection with Smooth Coats’ Mineral Coating system — the breathable, modern alternative to traditional paint. Unlike surface paints that seal in moisture and cause brick to deteriorate over time, mineral coatings bond on a molecular level, allowing the brick to breathe naturally while providing vibrant, fade-resistant color that lasts decades.
Our specialized mineral silicate coatings penetrate deep into the masonry, creating a finish that won’t peel, blister, or trap moisture. The result is a durable, natural-looking finish that enhances the brick’s character while safeguarding it from weather, UV damage, and pollution.
Perfect For
- Brick homes with aged, faded, or mismatched color
- Previously painted brick needing long-term restoration
- Commercial or residential facades requiring low-maintenance durability
- Historic homes where breathability and authenticity matter

What Makes Mineral Coatings Different
Breathable & Moisture-Permeable
Allows trapped moisture to escape, preventing flaking and damage.
Permanent Mineral Bond
Chemically fuses with masonry for unmatched adhesion and longevity.
Fade & UV Resistant
Maintains its color and finish even in harsh sunlight.
Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic
Mineral-based formulas are low-VOC and safe for people, plants, and pets.
Natural Finish
Maintains the authentic texture and beauty of the brick rather than masking it.
Our Mineral Coating Process
1. Inspection & Surface Evaluation
We start with a detailed inspection of your brick to assess its current condition, porosity, and any previous coatings. This helps us determine the right mineral formula and application technique for your surface.
2. Surface Cleaning & Preparation
All surfaces are cleaned using gentle, masonry-safe pressure washing or chemical cleaning methods to remove dirt, mildew, and old paint. This ensures the brick is fully open and breathable for coating adhesion.
3. Repairs & Repointing (If Needed)
Before coating, we repair damaged mortar joints, fill cracks, and replace spalled bricks to create a uniform surface. This step ensures structural stability and even coating coverage.
4. Mineral Primer Application
We apply a specialized mineral-based primer designed to absorb evenly into the masonry. This strengthens the surface, balances porosity, and enhances the bond for the mineral coating.
5. Mineral Coating Application
Our experts apply the mineral coating in precise layers using professional sprayers or brushes. The coating chemically fuses with the brick, creating a vapor-permeable, color-stable finish that becomes part of the surface—not just a layer on top.
6. Detailing & Uniform Finish Check
Once dry, we inspect for consistency in texture, color, and coverage. Touch-ups are performed to achieve a smooth, even, natural appearance across all surfaces.
7. Final Protection & Client Walkthrough
After curing, we perform a quality check to confirm adhesion, breathability, and uniformity. You’ll join us for a final walkthrough to review results and receive care instructions for your new long-lasting mineral finish.
