Mineral-Based Stains That Bond With the Surface

ColourFix uses mineral-based stains and masonry products designed for long-term colour, breathability, and compatibility with brick, stone, concrete, stucco, and other absorbent surfaces.

Unlike coatings that sit on top of the material, mineral stains absorb into the surface while keeping the natural texture visible.

PRODUCT TYPES

Materials We Use

Dark masonry building surface prepared with clear primer

Clear Primer

A clear mineral-based primer used to balance surface absorbency before staining.

  • Used on highly absorbent surfaces

  • Helps create a more consistent finish

  • Can be used as a thinner for semi-transparent or opaque mineral stains to increase transparency

  • Fully breathable and 0 VOC

  • 30-year warranty

Masonry wall finished with opaque mineral stain

Opaque Mineral Stain

A durable opaque mineral stain used when a cleaner, more uniform colour finish is needed.

  • Best for stronger colour changes

  • Helps hide background variation, repairs, stains, and discolouration

  • Can be diluted up to 20% to lower viscosity

  • Non-film forming; will never blister or peel

  • 30-year warranty

Tudor-style home with semi-transparent masonry stain

Semi-Transparent Stain

A durable silicate mineral stain that adds natural-looking colour while keeping surface variation visible.

  • Best for natural-looking colour changes

  • Can be diluted to increase transparency

  • Custom colour matching available

  • Non-film forming; will never blister or peel

  • 30-year warranty

Water beading on treated brick after protective masonry treatment

Protective Treatment

A clear breathable treatment that reduces water absorption and protects masonry surfaces.

  • Helps inhibit water absorption from wind-driven rain

  • Can be applied over mineral stains or raw masonry

  • Suitable for brick, stone, concrete, block, mortar joints, and stucco/plaster

  • Can be used as an anti-graffiti coating

  • 10-year warranty

How We Use Them

From Surface Prep to Lasting Colour

ColourFix uses mineral-based primers, stains, and breathable protective treatments for absorbent surfaces such as brick, stone, concrete, block, mortar joints, stucco, and other masonry substrates.

Prime the Surface
A clear primer helps balance surface absorbency before stain is applied.

1

Apply Mineral Stain
Semi-transparent or opaque mineral stain creates natural-looking colour that bonds inside the surface instead of forming a coating on top.

2

Add Protective Treatment When Needed
A breathable water-repellent or anti-graffiti treatment can help reduce water absorption and protect vulnerable surfaces.

MATERIAL DIFFERENCE

BETTER MATERIALS. BETTER FINISHES.

Mineral-based stains are designed to bond with masonry surfaces instead of covering them. Ask us which finish is right for your project.
