Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Masterton Havanna....nearly finished,I hope! 81Apr 25, 2010 5:50 pm Hi Lis, Yes it is woodland Grey and i was worried about the same thing! .When the sun shines straight onto it i notice the the green a little, same with the woodland grey guttering but maybe thats because i look for it! The wood paneling is also woodland grey and i notice the green tinge on it the most. But over all im happy with it. Its hard to get the exact same colouring with it all (roof,garage,gutter, paint) We are rendering the front brickwork in a cream colour as soon as we get handover which will hopfully will be only weeks away!! Hope this helps Re: Our Masterton Havanna....nearly finished,I hope! 82Apr 25, 2010 6:01 pm Thanks so much kkatt, you've confirmed my suspicions!!! I'm finding the colour selections the hardest part Best of luck with hand over. Looking forward to seeing it all done Re: Our Masterton Havanna....nearly finished,I hope! 83Apr 25, 2010 7:34 pm Kkatt - Your photos look fab! We are also do partial cladding on our house, so I was interested to see yours. Similar to a few other queries: - Window shades / hoods: how much did you pay for yours? We will be installing several too. (see below) - Ekman: Kkatt may have replied already, but Masterton do supply those window shade / hood things. They use them in their Executive facades, and it is on display on the Manhattan at Warwick Farm. FYI, we have been quoted $2020 for 3 of them 450mm deep by (1x1500, 1x1800, 1x3000) wide. Not sure if that is a good price? Kkatt?? - Similar to Lis's Q: Is that Woodlands Grey on your garage door? (We are tossing up between Woodlands Grey to match our roof or a timber-look such as Caoba Dawn...) Congrats again!

But still interested in your costing for the window hoods... and whether you did yours through Masterton?
