Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 05, 2008 6:45 pm Hi everyone
its time for us now to go for our colour selections with Porter Davis. The bricks that i am inclined to get are Austral Nougat. Has anyone used these brics for their house? any pics will be much appreciated? Also because this brick is light, i am worried about acid marks. Can someone suggest about the type of maintenance required for this kind of colour for bricks. Thanks Re: Bricks Austral Nougat 2Aug 05, 2008 7:01 pm Hi,
I don't think anyone on here has used them yet, there are a handful of people who are using them or are considering using them, including me. I would love to see some more pics of them though, I hope that someone has some. Re: Bricks Austral Nougat 7Aug 06, 2008 4:22 pm No we should have a start date in the next 2-3 weeks , but they did sign up to say that they will start sometime in September.
We chose the brick from the little display at PD color selections, in hind sight I think we might have just got off lucky with that one. Having now seen the brick in the pic above I like it (will have to forward this thread to the wifey so she can see it) Re: Bricks Austral Nougat 9Aug 06, 2008 4:32 pm haywgl Hope the start date comes sooner than you have been told Yep you made a good choice!! What colour mortar are you having?? That is a good question... I'll have to find out, lol. There was a point where I'd have that in the front of my mind, but 4-5 trips from Canberra to Melbourne to sort it all and sign it all has taken the fun out of it for the moment, just starting to get back on the train again thinking about Home Theater etc. Re: Bricks Austral Nougat 11Aug 06, 2008 6:07 pm Thats right Mikky G, it really helps to take a decission if you have some bigger sample to see. i am still hoping to see a full housemade of these bricks. I am one confused person.....phewww Re: Bricks Austral Nougat 12Aug 06, 2008 7:05 pm homeishome
You can go to Austral Brick and asked them to give you some addressses to check it out... I have been to the western highway store and the staffs are very helpful... i think that they should have some houses using the this brick...

We are not building until next year Land won't be released until end of this yr. As claego said, you can go to the Austral Bricks office and ask them for some addresses of houses built with that brick. You can also call them, that's what i did and it saved me the drive.
Good luck with your choice homeishome... [i]We built in Point Cook and are loving our new house. Re: Bricks Austral Nougat 16Aug 07, 2008 10:33 pm gr8, thanks for the advise everyone.
i will call austral and see if they can provide me with some addreses to have a look at the finished product.
