It was part of our estate guidelines to have an energy sustainable roof (I would have loved a dark roof) Maybe next time! Lol Our new estate is the same. Our current house has a monument roof, I’m quite looking forward to the shale grey 😀 :-D Modified Miami 31- Brighton Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=91265&f=31&p=1789112#p1789112 Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Estate 143Apr 11, 2018 9:31 pm allblaqk wow I wouldn't have thought the colour would make that much of a difference with energy efficiency When they gave us the design guidelines it gave us a range of colours to choose from with how much each reflects the sun. A bit full on.. but I did read into it and they also asked us to go to a sustainability workshop.. all signs point to energy savings.. lol. We will see.

I was considering going surfmist for the energy side of but then thought stuff it haha! Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 145Apr 12, 2018 10:43 am I’m looking forward to seeing your roof Bree as ours is surfmist too, our whole estate is dark rooves and light double height bricks, I went polar opposite . Looking forward to seeing your pics Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 146Apr 12, 2018 7:52 pm we've chosen a light coloured roof for the same reason. Hope it's noticeable. We've also had to tint all our windows for energy efficiency as well. Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 147Apr 12, 2018 10:03 pm gr8ly we've chosen a light coloured roof for the same reason. Hope it's noticeable. We've also had to tint all our windows for energy efficiency as well. Mmmmmm let me know what you think of the tinting, I have 2 kids bedrooms that’s face due west and think I want to tint there windows to help with the heat transfer. Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 148Apr 12, 2018 10:13 pm We originally didn't want to tint ours because we are between highset houses anyway, but i think they will definitely be worthwhile for west facing windows tribe7 and they definitely will provide privacy during the day. To get to the energy rating efficiency rating, it was actually the cheapest option for us, or we had to reduce the amount or size of windows. Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 149Apr 13, 2018 10:34 am Thanks guys, as everyone, I’m hoping it all matches and ties in together, the outside is the hardest part to change down the track so here’s hoping lol 🤞 Tinted windows are great, I want our front door glass inserts tinted. We bought our outdoor setting today, woop Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 150Apr 13, 2018 12:07 pm That looks nice and comfy - love the little stool seats Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Estate 151Apr 18, 2018 5:50 pm WEEK FIVE!

Re: Our First Home - Building with Valeco in Brookhaven Esta 158Apr 22, 2018 10:00 am So went out to the house on Friday afternoon. To our surprise, house was wrapped, all pre electrical and pre plumbing completed, windows and sliding doors installed, except for the corner less stacker. Internal doors delivered, bath frame installed. Went out early this morning to check a couple of electrical things we think are missing from our last variation, and the gyprock and architraves have been delivered! Received an update from CS on Thursday, we should be painting at the very latest end of next month. To me this is crazy and I feel like everything is going so fast we can barely keep up!
