Opinions needed! 3Sep 20, 2013 4:44 pm I was afraid of that... The Caoba door and merbau stain have to stay, we just dont like the other options. But everything else is negotiable. Would you suggest a lighter main brick? oR Feature brick?

That doesn't really help your original question though, sorry! Re: What colour Gutters & Fascia???

Dark roof, gutters and fascia will tend to make the height of the facade shorter. eg. like in fashion how black is considered slimming. Re: What colour Gutters & Fascia???

Came back and had a look at what options we had and decided to lighten the brick to either PGH Bianca or PGH Nougat, with a buff/creamy mortar, keep the dark roof maybe go a paperbark fascia to tie in with the brick and make that clear distinction as D@n has suggested... And have monument gutters & down pipes. Also changing to Cedar stained windows, door & garage door! Similar to this, minus the stone piers, still thinking the Apollo bricks for the piers Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66299 Slab: 16/6/14 Frame: 4/7/14 Roof: 22/7/14 Lock Up: 20/8/14 Fixing: 26/8/14 PCI: 9/10/14 Handover: 20/10/14 Re: What colour Gutters & Fascia???

You just need to select a style of house similar to yours and have a play around. www.colorbond.com Owner Building on 1800sqm Sanity Intact so far Locked up March 2012 Re: What colour Gutters & Fascia???
