Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 04, 2010 1:16 pm Hi, Think we are going with Boral Girraween which is the standard range - wondering if anyone has used them and have any pics. We are thinking black windows, dark gutters and garage etc I am not a fan of white or cream windows for some reason - personal preference i think Any suggestions would be great! Re: Boral - Girraween Brick 2Jun 29, 2010 11:51 pm Hi Pottsville I am new to this site, but thought I would post a reply to you and hopefully get some momentum happening. We are in the process of building and have chosen Boral Girraween Brick, raked with off white mortar and we too wondering if anyone else has used this brick or has any photos. We are going to go with a black colourbond roof, gutters, fascae, downpipes, windows. We will have two timber posts on the portico and a timber staimed door, with dark timber look garage door.
