Hi Gina,
Think of parachute cloth (if installed correctly) as a layer of paint on the wall. In fact, it is installed with a heavy body gel, which goes on milky white and dries clear. As the gel dries, it sucks the cloth to the wall adhering to
the surface. But, it is the gel applied directly to the wall that allows the cloth to adhere across the wall surface. So, rolling on that gel would likely be considered the same as painting directly on the brick.
While there are techniques to remove paint which can also remove the cloth, such as power washing, there will be some impact to the brick surface upon removal. And, when you install the cloth, you need to touch up areas directly, which
sometimes includes directly painting on site.
As another member suggested, your best bet at this location (if you have to create the work at this location) might be working on panels that are attached to the brick. Depending on how you attach, there will be some brick penetration
in order to install panels.
Hope some of that is helpful,
Donald

Subject: parachute cloth on historic brick
Hi all,
We are exploring parachute cloth as an option for murals commissioned in historic districts/ on historic buildings, where we are not allowed to paint directly on the brick. Is this a viable option? Is parachute cloth able to be taken off?
Can the preparation for adhering the cloth damage the brick?
Gina
