Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get a good picture of these bricks, Austral Settlers Beechwood.
Struggling to find any completed houses around our area.
Anyone have any photo's of this colour on an actual house?

Thanks!

Have you been to one of their displays?

We went to Austral on deer park and the bricks on display there came out the same as we were supplied.

Ah ok. We did go there and they gave us a couple of addresses to check out.
but they did look different on a whole house, but the bricks weren't cleaned. Just finished laying.

Ask them for some sample bricks too. A few if there is variation

HI there sjh99

I'm in same boat I cant find any good pictures online of austral beechwood..

Are you building with Ashford?

Any ideas of other colour schemes with the beechwood? I cant decide weather I want a darker woodland grey or a lighter scheme to go with..

What are your thoughts?

Look forward to your ideas!

Cheers

I think the images on the Austral website would be pretty close. Look at the pics in the banner

We actually ended up getting some pictures.
if I can work out how to add an image i'll pop them up.
Our colour scheme:
Basalt Roof and gutters
Dune facia and downpipes
Monument windows.

I believe the dark works well. Woodland grey would work well.

The pictures look fantastic. Can you tell please tell me what mortar colour you used. Was it mid-grey or maybe off-white?

Thanks

Hi,

We are about to start building our new home and are looking at Austral Settlers Beechwood as one of our brick choices.. I'm unable to see the pics, is anyone able to share pics of homes built with this brick?

Thank you!

Hi! We are currently building and have Beechwood bricks. Very happy with them! We went with natural mortar, monument colorbond roof and Surfmist windows/render/front door.
