I don't like SW products but use the Romabio and from my same Benjamin Moore dealer I get and offer the Coronado Texcrete. It's the same as loxon xp, a true paint and primer for brick and concrete.
Can I use Loxon XP over a silicate (mineral) based paint? I have a project which was previously painted with Silin Silith coating (a mineral based coating). Do I have to prime the previously coated brick first?
Great question! Could I ask why the switch to loxon? Are you having moisture issues? If so there is a mineral shield product that bonds well to mineral paints!
@@Geoonthegrind Its's a semi permiable. Breatheable? Maybe better than some, but. Its breatheable like a water proof jacket. Would you rather have a goretex jacket on in july or one of those quick dry sun shirts. Goretex says it breatheable and it kinda is but nowhere near like a cotton shirt.
Shit I just bought 2 gallons of logon xp for my poured concrete foundation.I have no water issues and it seems like I just wasted money and in the end I could be trapping moisture in my concrete..why even sell this shit,what should I use
You don't have to prime with Loxon XP. However Other products in the Loxon line may need to be primed. In the Atlanta heat and humidity I would recommend the Romabio over the Loxon. However, if the house has already been painted with a latex paint you will need to go with Loxon. If its unpainted raw brick go with the Romabio.
Any chance you could post some finished pictures of each type (Rom v Lox) from your jobs?? We have some spalling brick in 60’s ranch and I’m tempted by the Loxon XP for brick health.
Do like a good limewash. However for durability, they all seem to wash off to fast for my taste outside. Plus lancaster only has like 20 colors. If you are looking for a limewash check out JH. Also Romabio makes a great limewash aswell. However limewashes are very different from Masonry flat
