Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Oct 28, 2011 2:08 pm I don't seem to get any responses when I post on here but I'll try again. Maybe my questions are too difficult LOL! Anyway we have decided (I think) on Dune for our gutters and fascia for our extension (and repaint of existing house). Our bricks are Haberfield (new part) and a reddish tan brown (existing house). Is there a standard colour most people use when painting their eaves? I was thinking whisper white. Do you think this goes ok with Dune? Or would I be better off going with White Duck (not sure if this is too off-white though)?? Please can I have some comments???? What colour do people generally paint their eaves with?

For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!! Re: Eaves Paint Colour? 3Oct 28, 2011 2:42 pm Mclaren We have Merino gutters so we painted the eaves Merino too - looks great. So it doesn't look to dark under the eaves?? I've considered doing the eaves a similar colour to the Dune (like a white duck) but am concerned that it would look too dark. But if someone else tells me a non-white colour / off white colour looks great than I may have to give it a try. Re: Eaves Paint Colour? 4Oct 28, 2011 2:59 pm Can't really help too much, other than we have just done our walls inside in White Duck, so if you want to see how that looks off the colour swatch there are pics in our thread.

I think I've settled on Sago Quarter with Paperbark fascia and Jasper gutter. Do you thin that looks too much? Update from me! Couldn't find the trimmer - not sure if there isn't one simply because the eave is so narrow. Went ahead with the spring toggles and it all worked out… 7 5880 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 7873 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7172 |
