In a word, yes! Our Weathering tints are suitable for Brick, Masonry or Mortar. 

In a few more words, providing it has a porosity (it’s absorbent) in theory any material will take in our weathering tint applied by brush. The exception to this rule, there always is one, is engineering bricks or tiles. Harder surfaces may need sponging or ragging and may need repeated coats. 

Don’t despair though if this is your problem, our contracting business could help. 

Yes, you will. 

Years of airborne pollution and natural weathering causes all porous materials to darken with time. Five years or five hundred years, Bebbingtons have formulated our Weathering Tints to blend new materials with old. 

Yes, that’s just the sort of problem that Bebbingtons Weathering Tint was formulated to help with. 

Yes. Providing it is applied in accordance with the guidance, no problems. 

Like Mark Bebbington always tells everybody … “We make it, we use it, we trust it.” 

Remember also … “Bebbingtons since 1968” 

To back this up further, if you weren’t happy with the results for some reason, we’ll send out our contracting team to give you a hand until you are happy and knock of the price of your original BWT purchase. 

Only Bebbingtons can offer this back-up service. 

Bebbingtons Weathering Tint is ideal for this common masonry colour problem. It can be diluted down with water to suit your needs. If you need help or advice, just give us a call. 

If you trust yourself to paint the woodwork in your house, without getting it all over the carpets, windows, dog, kids, you should be fine. 

As with any colour stain, test in a discreet area first. Don’t forget we’re always at the end of the phone for any advice or tips you need or look at our web site for a video and advice. 

Bebbingtons Weathering Tint will give an aged appearance to your building materials without hiding the original features. 

Hearts, kiln marks, feldspar, minerals or fossils will still be visible through the weathering effect. 

Soot wash, a mainly London term for the process of weathering or ageing masonry, was a solution often used, before brick tinting came along. Primarily used in London but also in Manchester and some other big cities, 

Bebbingtons Weathering Tint does exactly what soot wash did, back in the day. 

he method is very similar, but that’s where the comparison ends. 

Unlike paint, Bebbingtons Weathering Tint does not seal the brick. 

Brick should be allowed to breath. Worth noting also is, sealing the brick will probably invalidate any warranty you have from your brick or masonry supplier. 

Because Bebbingtons Weathering Tint is absorbed back into the surface of the building material and does not seal the surface, it is still subject to all the effects of weathering and pollution. So adjacent surfaces will always match the tinted areas. 

 Our Weathering Tints use only water-based silicate and mineral pigments. 

Whilst silicate is a mild irritant it is not usually harmful. 

The usual sensible precautions should be taken whilst using this product. Such as gloves and eye protection and ensuring you clean up any spillages promptly with water and a mild detergent.
