It's crunch time and we need to decide if we are going to stay with night sky ( black ) or monument below I've tried to show what each one would look like
This one is night sky and below is one similar to monument ( more grey so you get the idea )
And out mortar will be white
Everyone's opinions would be greatly appreciated
Unless you're in a very cold climate, generally the heat gain from a roof costs you more in summer than it benefits in winter, so in that case Monument with a solar absorptance of 73% wins out over Night Sky at 96%.
Purely on looks I would say Monument!
Thanks guys more for looks then anything else
Like the monument too. Not a big fan of night sky
If you went night sky, I think you'd have to consider black window frames.
On looks only with that colour brick I'd go the lighter, monument roof. But if you go the darker roof than I agree with one John to match the window frames.
I should mention our window frames, fascia and garage are all monument and Gutters are night sky - I think if we change to monument we will have gutters as monument and fascia as night sky

Yes.. Reason why we went for surfmist. I'd go monument for the same reason if it's between those two.
