Anyone have brick floors?
Posted by TideSaint on 12/31/22 at 5:41 pm02
Thinking about going that route soon.
Any reasons why they are a bad idea?

Small portion of the house with brick floors. Look great, hard to get clean, expensive, but if you want the look, thats the rub you're stuck with. Very nice look, but I don't go in the room that has them much. I think the install was very labor intensive if I recall. We had some very old salvage brick that the brick guy essentially cut into pavers - our brick guy is a true artisan. He also did our backyard brick courtyard which is a masterpiece.

Yes love them, get a maid.
Brick flooring uses slices of brick provided by you or bought from a company that salvages and slices like LINK . It is more expensive than tile.
Brick is very porous and must be well sealed with a polymer or it will stain badly. Even well sealed flooring brick is relatively soft and will show wear from heavy use.

Steal lots of sugar packets. I gotta think there’ll be plenty of issues with wobbly furniture.

hard to clean
Mine are well-sealed and the grout doesn’t show terribly much staining/dirt (yet).
I vacuum them with a Miele c3 Marin with the hardwood floor attachment.
I mop them once a week.
The only time I use a broom is if something would be too big for the vacuum to pick up and too small to pick up by hand.
Vacuuming floors instead of sweeping felt weird at first, but a quality vacuum makes keeping them clean a breeze.

Installed tile in the kitchen that looks like brick. Not porous, so no issues with on- going upkeep like real brick. Looks 100% like brick, and much cheaper to install.

I have the same. Looks same as this. There are different styles though. We love it.

The hardest part is getting furniture level.
They do not show dirt.
They hurt your feet.
I’d get them again.

I was going to say there’s gotta be tile these days that looks like brick. I’d also think with modern tile they could do very small grouted lines so it would stay cleaner also.
I don’t have them personally, but a hunting lodge that I frequent has brick floors and they look awesome. They look like old bricks with all the sharp edges sanded off. Look like they have 1/4” of polyurethane over the whole floor to smooth it out.
