No, it actually adds value especially if your bricks are outdated but it has to be done properly. It is not recommended to paint straight over bricks as that would look horrible and definitely would devalue your home. You must apply a concrete render over the bricks first then paint them.
Yes. as long as it hasn't been sealed by a silicone sealant in the past you can easily paint it using a 100% acrylic primer and top coat. If the wall was sealed, ensure that water soaks into the surface and does not bead up.
Yes. You need to use a paint that can tolerate high temperatures.
Yes, use a enamel paint or a oil based paint.
Painting it will definitely improve it's longevity and exposure to weather.
It means that the brick is actually made from clay. Like ACME brick. Better quality. Other bricks produced for residential builds are made of sand and other mortor matrials.

I think I've tried every method that I can think of or read about on other sites but I finally came up with a cure which is not 100% but a good 95 plus. I went to Lowe's and purchased a steel brush that attaches to a 1/2 electric drill. The name of the product is Gator Grit, Paint and Rust Remover, cost around then bucks. Just attach the wire wheel to your drill and it will scuff the paint right off. It does leave a little discolored look but a far better look that paint all over your brick home if that's what the problem is. I haven't tried it yet but if all the brick were pressure washed using a good cleaner I think it will help the color blend and look even better. Hope that helped. I just purchased a brick home and I think a blind person must have applied the paint and it looked terrible but now it does look a heck of a lot better.
Prime first with gray metal primer. Measure and mask off grout lines with 1/2" masking tape. Paint what's left with brick red paint.
No, you can not use house paint to paint an oven. You must use a high temperature paint
Yes, the panel house is better than the brick house. This is because the panel house is greener, cleaner, more energy efficient and environment friendly as compared to the brick house.

If you live in a brick house then you can scratch off some paint to find out if it's wall or wood.
"The house is built of bricks." is correct; the noun brick is a countable noun. The second one could be rewritten: "The house is a brick house." (brick as an attributive noun describing the noun house) or "The house is brick." (brick as the substance of which the house is made).
The Brick House was created in 1999.
First you need to make a brick house from brick and cement, then add glass to the brick house to make a skyscraper.
It means that the brick is actually made from clay. Like ACME brick. Better quality. Other bricks produced for residential builds are made of sand and other mortor matrials.
Brick can be painted, but beware that those bricks are going to soak up lots of paint. Be careful too that you are not depreciating the overall value of your home (and your neighbors homes, too) by covering or painting them.
It isn't improper if it is a brick building. But a wood building with a brick veneer is not a brick building. Many people speak of a house as being a brick house, but it is probably a frame house with brick veneer. Perhaps that is what the question is about.
