Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 11, 2008 6:14 pm It looks like I'm definitely having terracotta roof tiles! Yay for me!!
BUT I want a blended look not a uniform colour..... but what blend? I like the Ivory tile (Swiss profile) by Bristile, but apparently it cannot be used on it's own. Only if blended with another colour (such as natural blend ) Does anyone have a blended Terracotta roof? Can you show me? I don't like my chances because most people are going charcoal.... but i thought I'd ask... Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

I love the swiss profile by Bristile... A former display home in Point Cook has a blended one... in orangey and ivory, i think. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

A former display home in Point Cook has a blended one... in orangey and ivory, i think. Oohhh do you know the address VJ? The only ones I see around are the natural blend (plain orange). I'd love to see the ivory in action. I went up to Hidden Valley today..... basically to look at people's roofs. I'm actually a bit scared of blending... some of the blending I've seen is shocking! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Terracotta roof tiles...perfect tile!!! 4Nov 11, 2008 8:13 pm Isn't it that the Bristile website has some sample photos of houses with different colours of Swiss roof tiles? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: Terracotta roof tiles...perfect tile!!! 5Nov 11, 2008 8:15 pm Yeah but I need to actually see one with different blended colours... so I can decide on my blend. I'm very confused. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Re: Terracotta roof tiles...perfect tile!!! 9Nov 12, 2008 7:49 am Donuts, that's the Ivory one I'm talking about... each tile goes from traditonal terracotta colour to almost white across each tile, but they won't let it be used on it's own, it must be blended.
But there's a number of coloured tiles and I'm trying to figure out my blend. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Terracotta roof tiles...perfect tile!!! 11Nov 12, 2008 7:53 pm bel Joles I know I'm in Syd but I drive past a house nearly everyday that I think has this tile. Would you like a picture? Don't know if it would help? Bel But if you post a pic and I love it.... will you knock on their door and ask them what blend it is? I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Terracotta roof tiles...perfect tile!!! 12Nov 12, 2008 8:03 pm If you are visiting Hallam to see windows... think there are some good blended terracotta examples in Narre Warren or Berwick - can't for the life of me remember which street/estate (maybe Bristile could give you some addresses?).
We just have the natural Marseilles tile. Only new house in our area with a terracotta roof, sticks out like a sore thumb! Re: Terracotta roof tiles...perfect tile!!! 13Nov 12, 2008 8:07 pm We have to have Terracotta colours and I'd say nearly half of the houses in our estate use true Terracotta.
I guess it's one of the things that makes my estate distinctive. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

It looks like Natural Blend and Ivory mixed....BUT it may actually be a Boral rooftile. It is pretty much the type of look I'm after I think. Hard to tell from the photo. Thanks Bel!
