So, there are three questions regarding the exposed brick walls:
- sealing
- cleaning
- aesthetics
Sealing
So, what is the first problem that you may encounter? Although they look quite durable, exposed bricks can be porous. This will make it possible for excess moisture gaining. Also, the bricks can crumble and make a huge mess. And last, dirt can also be hard to clean. So, this means that exposed bricks should be protected. A protective coat or an sealant should be applied so your bricks will stay in shape and look stunning.
Cleaning
Cleaning can also be a huge enemy of your brick wall. Since it has pretty much of texture going on, there are lots of tiny spots that gather look. And you don’t want your exposed brick wall to look messy and dirty. You need to pay attention to cleaning it in the proper way. You can use a microfiber cloth to swipe the dust away. Also, you can use the special attachment on your vacuum cleaner dedicated for narrow spaces.
Aesthetics
