Please o please Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics - Roof is on (nearly)!!!! 22Oct 15, 2009 12:02 pm Thank you for the pictures! I have decided on these bricks and now i have seen your pics i am even more in love with them! I will be having the Barramundi tiles too (well that is the plan til we speak to the colour people) Was wandering what colour g/door your having. I was thinking woodland grey with the same for gutters. Although i think the surfmist may be good too if i have surfmist facia and windows? Your house looks great! Built our Granton in 2010 Handover December 3rd- wooohooo! Now the hard work has began.... Retaining walls and landscaping Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics - Roof is on (nearly)!!!! 23Oct 19, 2009 7:16 pm For the Sorbettophiles!
Bricking is complete on our house. We teamed the Sorbetto bricks with woodland grey gutters, monier Barramundi tiles, surfmist fascia and woodland grey windows. Very happy with the choices. We are having a surfmist garage door and some cladding above the portico painted to match surfmist. I also think that CB monument and CB ironstone would look great with these bricks and tiles. Will post a pic once the garage door is on, and cladding done. Would love to see your pics too Sorbettophiles!!! buzz Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics - Roof is on (nearly)!!!! 24Oct 19, 2009 7:58 pm Yay Buzz Thankyou for those pics,your house is looking great We are going the same roof tiles as you,along with other similar colours.

I think they are missing the 'powdery coating' that gives it that sort of rendered look.

Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics - Roof is on (nearly)!!!! 30Nov 04, 2009 10:36 am When we first got ours I thought they looked different too. The sample I have, has that dusty type (sandy?) surface, but our real ones didn't. Maybe they changed them? Although I'm very happy with them up.... Yours look like ours do. I'll try and get a pic on Friday, bricks have been cleaned and look great. When do they start laying them, netadelle? buzz Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics - Roof is on (nearly)!!!! 31Nov 18, 2009 12:54 pm Here are some pics of our brick ! They started yesterday.

They look . The colour will be even nicer when they dry. Sorry, I haven't been able to get any close up pics... we are behind a fence Yours look great, are you happy with them? hopefully they will replace those ones with the dark brown patches. Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics - Roof is on (nearly)!!!! 33Nov 18, 2009 9:30 pm I got out of the car and the SS said "I know what you want to talk about" Apparantly he had driven past in the morning and saw that the brown ones stood out, he called the brickie straight away and said they would fix it tommorow. So *yay*. I am really happy with them, they look great!
