Does brick size matter?🧐

When it comes to designing and building with brick, size matters. Brick sizes have an impact on a wide range of things such as how the building is designed, the overall aesthetic appearance of a project and how easily the bricks can be laid. 🧱🧱

Whatever brick size is chosen for a project it is important to consider these brick size dimensions in the design stage of a project in order to minimise cutting and potential problems on-site. The size of the brick and the size of the mortar joint chosen will have a big impact on the setting out of the brickwork. 😎

Dark blue as a colour can be often confused with Navy Blue, as they are closely related. 💙

Yet, the cool, deep shade of dark blue is unique enough to stand on its own. On the outer bands of the colour wheel, dark blue is often used to represent elegance, authority, and intelligence. 😁

Its hex code is .

The colour of the month is…OCHRE...💛

Ochre is a yellowish-brown colour with the hex code , the overarching name for a whole family of earth pigments derived from iron oxide. It has been used in cave paintings dating as far back as seventy-five thousand years ago.

What pairs well with Ochre? Grey, light grey will really bring out the vibrancy, while darker greys will offer a subdued and sophisticated finish. If you're wanting something a little more dramatic, there's no shade of blue that ochre doesn't complement. 🤩

The final step to repainting your room - Step 5 – The Doors. 🤩

When painting doors, you have 2 options: speed or finish, both of which relate to panel and flush doors. When working with panelled doors, always paint the panels first.

Much like the walls, the ceiling and the trim, two coats will be sufficient in most cases. 🥳

Our next step in the process of repainting a room is Step 4 - The Window and Door Frames.🏡

Windows and door frames are much like skirting boards. Never forget that preparation is key to this task.

Make certain that any nail holes are filled, that the edges of the frames are properly caulked against the wall and that all rough edges are sanded down before you apply the finish coat. 🤓

Ask Jack’s in what order to paint your room. 🤓

The next step in our process is Step 3 - The skirting boards.

Skirting boards are generally painted with a semi-gloss or a high-gloss finish. To ensure the accuracy of the cut line, you can simply use masking/painter's tape to cover the immediate area above the trim. 🤩

Just make certain that the wall paint has dried first! 🤣

Stuck on the order to paint the room, let us help. 😎

Let’s look at Step 2 in this process - the walls.

Once the ceiling has dried, the walls should be cut and rolled with at least two coats (stubborn areas should likewise be primed before the top coats are applied). 🎨

Do not worry about getting paint on any trim; this can be rectified in the next step.

You are repainting a room in your house but got stuck on the process to paint the room… Hmm, Jack’s has the answer!

Let’s break this down into a 5-step process:

Step 1 - The Ceiling

The ceiling should always be painted first. This allows you to effectively cover the surface with at least two coats while not having to worry about any over-spray (the effect of excess paint being sprayed onto the walls) by the roller.

When painting the ceiling, you should always use a roller with a double arm frame. The double-arm frame ensures support at both ends of the roller. This offers even pressure across the width of the roller during use as well as even coverage
