The Art and Science of Brick Tinting: How Construction Cosmetics in Derby Achieves Perfect Colour Matches

At Construction Cosmetics in Derby, we understand that the charm and character of a building often lies in its brickwork. But over time, bricks can fade, weather unevenly, or repairs can leave unsightly colour mismatches. That’s where the art and science of brick tinting comes into play.

What is Brick Tinting?

Brick tinting is more than simply painting over bricks—it’s a specialised process that restores the original colour of your brickwork or seamlessly matches new bricks to existing masonry. At Construction Cosmetics, we combine years of expertise with high-quality, durable materials to deliver perfect results for every property.

Using advanced pigments and coatings developed by Red Mill Industries, we can create virtually unlimited shades to match your property’s unique character, whether it’s a heritage building or a modern home.

The Science Behind Perfect Colour Matches

Achieving a flawless colour match isn’t just about a good eye. Each brick has its own texture, porosity, and absorption rate, all of which affect how it takes on colour. Our technicians conduct detailed assessments of your brickwork to ensure the tint blends naturally, creating a seamless finish that looks as though it has always been part of your property.
