DIY German Schmear

Watch our video on how we achieved German Schmear on our 1947 brick house! German Schmear is achieved by tactfully applying mortar to the bare bricks leaving some exposed. During application, you can choose to have more mortar cover the bricks or less. This method adds texture to the bricks and is usually done on high end construction due to the labor it requires. ⁣⁣⁣ Another method I really looked into was limewashing. Limewash is a paint mixture using lime to create a chalky texture. So instead of sitting on the bricks it penetrates the brick; giving it an old European look. It can age over time, and slowly have a greater wash effect. During application, you can go back through wash off some brick to expose it. ⁣⁣⁣This method will degrade over time and wash off on its own, a less permanent method depending on how much rainfall your area receives. If this style if more for you, then ROMABIO is certainly the one to use. The reason why this German Schmear is so much more expensive is the labor it requires. Each step is done by hand. When I was researching what to do with the bricks ‘German Schmear’ popped up and an article mentioned it would cost anywhere from $1,500 to $3,500. We did not budget for this type of expense on the exterior of the house, so I knew we would be the ones to do this no problem! Look at our transformation!!!!
