Sealing an exposed brick internal wall
Discussion
Now then.
Part of my ongoing extension is a mezzanine bed deck in the new 4th bedroom. Done to maximise the limited width available but has also turned into a proper cool kids bedroom, thankfully.
On the lower level we removed the outer leaf of brickwork to make a bit more space and this lower section is being boarded over and skimmed. the upper level retains the entire thickness of the old external cavity wall so the plan is to leave the brickwork exposed as a). it actually looks pretty cool (1930s brick) and b). adds 20mm or so to the room width.
Question is - what to seal it with. I was thinking just plain PVA/water mix and see how it turned out but has anyone done this. I wouldn't mind it leaving a slight glossy/wet look finish. Anyone done this before?
