I find it hard to find a decent picture of it, surfmist always pops up or shale grey is a render colour. Im thinking shale grey for roof,gutters and fascia as i think its too light to put a darker grey feature colour on the fascia? Could be wrong. Ive gone a dark render colour feature and a lighter shade elsewhere. all shades of greys. Just torn on whether a dark garage door say e.g. monument or woodland grey would look weird. Colours are as below: Feature render - grey moggy, Rest of front render: secret passage. Roof/gutter/fascia: thinking shale grey all through for matching unless anyone has better ideas Garage door/external front door: thinking monument or woodland grey. Ironstone may be too bluey grey. Reason for the greys was originally had basalt colorbond for roof (dark grey) but as anticon is too pricey by the builder im thinking of leaving it out, and going the light roof and some good fan forced ventilators on the roof combined with the r4 ceiling batts to combat heat for the tenant, and myself if i move in in a few years. I thought the dark grey renders would still work but im abit torn as i beliece shale grey almost looks surfmist light in person in the sun right? Would love more grey however but in sunlight i doubt it. I like a darker garage. As i think it'll look too light overall otherwise but unsure if it'll work as usually the dark feature garage colour is matched by a dark roof?? Thoughts? Third pic - an image of what my house will roughly look like. The feature wall render will be my grey moggy for example. I have eaves added to the portico that's about it physically. hiya, Lovely colours and facade on the photo you have posted. we still have to go for our selections and our facade is quite similar to the picture without a second pillar to the portico. however, i like the colors on the facade and so inline with the theme i want to go except for a light colored colorbond roof. would you happen to know the render colours on that. oh,we are building in sydney thanks in advance cheers, Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10228 You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 18580 Thank you so much. We ended going with the terrain that’s part of our brick. 2 2543 |
