Hi all just wondering who has used the PGH Mocha Bricks for their home, if you could post up some pictures so we can get an example as we have seen some houses with Mocha and others with the Mocha look different.
Thanks again all post much appreciated!

Will definitely go and have s look at the estate in Riverstone next time we are in Sydney. Thanks again. Cheers Not a worry. As for the Sheffield I'm pretty sure it's either these two bricks, which are upgrades: 'Blue Steel Flash'; http://www.pghbricks.com.au/Bricks/Defa ... ItemId=142 'Nickle Flash'; http://www.pghbricks.com.au/Bricks/Defa ... ItemId=309 I don't live far from Riverstone so when I'm next over there I'll pop over and take some photos. Also, I found some drive by pictures we took of houses using Mocha, I hope this helps: HOUSE 1: Using Mocha with off-white grout! But check out the next picture of their neighbour who used Mocha but natural grout. It looks like two different bricks!: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ HOUSE 2: The neighbour with natural grout colour. It doesn't even look like Mocha bricks, but it is!

On their blog it says Pearl Grey. It's very similar to Mocha - same texture. Here is the link to the post which mentions the colour: http://hassanbeggbuildinghamilton31eden ... rs_22.html  Re: PGH Bricks- Mocha Colour 7Dec 30, 2014 8:15 am Hi Shayne, Thanks so much for your time and info it is really helpful we love the first house with Mocha bricks and off White mortar the second house looks completely different don't like it at all when your out at the Riverstone estate that would be great if you can take some more photos of the mocha bricks out there much appreciated....also do you have any idea on how much it cost to get the off White mortar?

I also don't mind the white windows with the mocha bricks in the second picture and it look's like they have gone with a darker roof aswell, we have decided the darker roof, mocha bricks, chosen a upgraded wooden garage door and a upgraded wooden front door i hope it will all look nice together, so pretty much our colours are similar to the second picture oh and our door is the exact same as picture 2 just and bit taller as we have upgraded to the 2700 higher ceilings......

Yes can't wait for the build to actually start...hopefully we'll be getting a slab poured in the next couple of weeks - fingers crossed! Great blog too btw - thanks for sharing Shayne Sorry, answered based on the title, and missed the "Birch". "Birch White" looks like it might best be complemented by standard heritage colours, manor red and forest… 3 8638 We are also building with Henley. We have chosen Mannagum from Austral bricks. Still undecided about the mortar though. Hope this helps. 1 1267 It might be Mowbray Blue... If that's what it is then unfortunately you'll find that it's an expensive upgrade as it's a dry pressed brick... as opposed to the more… 1 1018 |
