...get the white facebrick look

This can be achieved in various ways; here are some of the more popular methods: 1 Jannette semi-plastered the bricks and then brushed white PVA paint over them. Before it had dried completely, a wet sponge was used to wash some of the paint off the bricks. 2 You can also roughly apply exterior polyfilla (it’s waterproof) to all the gaps between the bricks. When it’s dry, sand off any excess until you get the look you want. Apply a penetrating, water-based masonry sealer to waterproof and seal the entire wall. 3 Use white grout or white cement to fill the gaps between the bricks. Then wipe the bricks with a clean, damp sponge as soon as the grout or cement has dried – otherwise your red bricks will end up with white speckles. >>
