Brick Wall Meets Drywall - How To Seal
Michigan home built in the 70’s. I’m painting soon, so I removed the wood trim around our fireplace brick wall.
On the right side, between the exterior wall and the brick, there is fiberglass insulation sticking out.
At the top abutting the ceiling, it looks pretty ragged.
The left is the cleanest looking, but there is a gap behind the brick between the back wall and the brick and mortar.
Seeking advice for what to do for each from sealing to tidying.
I think we’ll be putting new trim up, but I’d rather tidy/repair and seal the area where needed first. Thanks very much for all help!
