Browse Forums Building A New House Re: What bricks did you choose - Show and Tell 181Sep 04, 2012 4:16 pm Hi, I'm currently building a new house and need a little help! I love the austral nickel brick but this is a little out of my price range. I was thinking of doing half of the house using Nickel bricks on the front and alfresco and then Boral Mocha on the two remainding sides. Anyone with opinions/options would be great!!!

Building the Porter Davis Dunedin 29 maybe, thinking of forfeiting deposit and going with CH or UE Re: What bricks did you choose - Show and Tell 183Jan 12, 2015 12:18 am I'm looking at Selkirk ironstone, Honeystone and recently they have added goldfield haze to catogory 1.

Re: What bricks did you choose - Show and Tell 187Apr 18, 2016 3:54 pm Just looking at bricks at the moment and wanted to know if everyone could share to this thread to keep it going. Re: What bricks did you choose - Show and Tell 188Apr 18, 2016 5:17 pm We are using Boral Mocha, I think it is an oldy, but a goody. Don't have a pic at the moment - Photobucket is not working. Our bricks should get started in the next week so if I remember I will post a pic once they are done. We are having mainly dark and light greys for the gutter, fascia, windows, etc and think this will be a complementary contrast (if you get me, as there are traces of grey in the brick).

Does anyone have any pictures of these bricks? Maybe other cream or brown blends?

Does anyone have any pictures of these bricks? Maybe other cream or brown blends? Here's some pics of our Austral Newport. We've been in for 5 years now and the love affair with our bricks continues. I would seriously consider using them again, if we built another house. Re: What bricks did you choose - Show and Tell 193Apr 21, 2016 9:48 am Your home looks amazing!

They come in 3 shades of grey - Char, Iron and Steel. I really like the Char but think it might be too much if used all over (esp. double storey). The other ones I'm leaning towards are the Austral Access Ash but they are quite light.
