Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 30, 2013 12:11 pm Hi, Our façade (similar to https://picasaweb.google.com/101864544019738694615/January222013?authkey=Gv1sRgCKrDx7q4wP7ZQw#5836064279731385426)is half complete now and it is looking very dark. So far they have finished the bricks, windows,fascia and gutter. Garage,render and cladding are still to be done. Our colours Windows,fascia,gutter : Monument Bricks : Expressions Blackstone Roof: Gun Metal Garage: Dune Cladding: Dune Render: Torrance (mix of purple and brown) As we can't change whatever has been done so far, do you think we should change the render colour to some light colour ? Please help.. Thanks, Re: Façade Suggestions 2May 30, 2013 3:41 pm I would. Your render so far looks gorgeous as a feature colour - especially contrasting against the light cladding. But if you keep going with that colour I think you'll loose the effect, and as you say end up with the total effect being very dark. It is already looking great! Good luck. (P.S.

I find it very easy to use.) http://www.housebythewater.wordpress.com From blank block to new home in Mandurah, Western Australia. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65564 Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size.
