Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 15, 2011 5:10 pm I need some help urgently, gutters are going in the end of this week so a decision has to be made NOW! I thought we had made a decision, then the gutter man threw a spanner in the works and suggested something different, now I don't know, I really don't know Thoughts are: Windows - Anotec Natural Pearl - no choice there, they are already in! Roof - is black or close to black tiles - I can't remember the exact colour now. Gutters - Monument Facias - Had chosen Paperbark but the gutter man suggested Dune, for various reasons including that Paperbark looks dirty quicker and is quite yellow/creamy. We are rendering, we were going to do the walls the same colour as the Facias and the brick piers (all 8 of them around the house) the same colour as the gutters, hence the worry about colours. I did a sample paint of the Dune and am worried that it is too close in colour to the windows. What would your choice be? Dune or Paperbark Facias and walls or something else?

Definitely Dune! have seen many houses in this colour and looks great Re: gutters, facias and render colours - HELP!!! 3Aug 15, 2011 6:34 pm I think Dune is a much more contemporary colour where as Paperbark is more traditional. We had paperbark at our old house and will be having dune at the new one. Depends on the look you want. Good luck Re: gutters, facias and render colours - HELP!!! 4Aug 15, 2011 6:56 pm Thanks guys we are leaning more towards Dune now. We are after a modern look, just worried about the Dune facias and wall render and then the Anotec Natural Pearl windows, are they too close in colours? Re: gutters, facias and render colours - HELP!!! 5Sep 01, 2011 5:33 pm We just went with a Dune render on our 60's brick home and wow what a difference! When we first bought the house we painted gutters, garage door, windows etc in a beige colour (don't remember what it was called). We are also going for a modern look and thinking now with the Dune colour that they might need a change! What colour did you end up going for?! Do you have any pictures? Hey.
