Shouldn't introduce an different colour that doesn't flow across the facade of the house. I concur. Might ask our SM to change it for us otherwise it's a DIY. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4623Mar 20, 2017 6:33 pm Often a cash job and see if they can do it. Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4626Mar 20, 2017 7:12 pm We have the exact same issue- garage door is surf mist but pillars will be Lexicon half. In your circumstance I really like the Lexicon half against the colour of your bricks - it goes well whereas the surfmist doesn't stand out as much. Tough decision. I'm going to run with the Lexicon half on ours and hope for the best with the Surfmist! Garage door should be installed this week so I should know what it will look like soon...

PCI confirmed for Wednesday morning so there's a big rush to get all the outstanding items completed. 2. Front pillar render has been painted in Lexicon half but maybe we should of chosen surfmist to match the garage door and pergola? Might need repainting after handover 3. Front pergola is half installed so have to wait for painters to finish the job. 4. Remaining door locks installed and final room of carpet completed.

Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Yeah, agree the lexicon half goes well with the bricks. I don't think the colorbond garage door comes on Lexicon half hence we chose surfmist... Looks like we have to paint surfmist on the pillar to match. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4630Mar 20, 2017 7:42 pm Hmm I would agree to change the pillar to match the garage but what about the timber feature on the other side of the portico? What colour is that? It might stand out and look odd if different to both the pillar and garage. Just my two cents! House does and I'm sure look great regardless Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4631Mar 20, 2017 7:50 pm Thanks folks, the pergola is surfmist as well. Can't remember why we chose the pillar to be different to the garage door and pergola... @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4633Mar 21, 2017 7:13 am Haha I thought it was matched to the garage door already! Must have just been the render. I would go with the surf mist - so many houses these days have way too much going on - keep it simple Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4634Mar 21, 2017 7:17 am jsmi Haha I thought it was matched to the garage door already! Must have just been the render. I would go with the surf mist - so many houses these days have way too much going on - keep it simple Jsmi, oh the previous colour (similar to garage door) which you observed was the colour of the cement render which is unpainted. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4636Mar 21, 2017 8:11 am Oh I love your wardrobes beautiful . Also what facade is that? It looks similar to the Wembley? Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4637Mar 21, 2017 8:12 am Thanks. The facade is called "Isla". @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4638Mar 21, 2017 8:19 am I think it looks fine as is but matching might look a little better!?
