Sealing Brick Fireplace
I have two brick fireplaces, and would like to seal them to help protect the brick, but don't want a glossy finish... does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should use?

frame it and put fake brick panels over it :)

Thoroseal makes a sealant that is invisible - you'd never know it was there.

I'm not sure why the brick needs to be sealed. Are the bricks turning to dust? Is the mortar intact? Since its indoors, weather should not have an effect. Ed Kopel Architects

Yes, many of the bricks are turning to dust. We just had the fireplaces repointed as the mortar was also crumbling so now just need to seals the bricks to keep them intact as well. Thanks for the tip Arkady!
