Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 23, 2018 5:26 pm The difficult decisions - what colour trim goes with Metallix Bronze bricks? has anyone built with Austral Metallix Bronze bricks and teamed it with Surf Mist or White Windows and Timber Garage and entrance door and is willing to post a photo of your finished home?

Both bricks are similar. Here is a comparison of the bricks and an image of our house. The upper story walls are Surf Mist, windows and gutters are black. Garage door is Classic Cedar. Upper level feature timber is Innowood timber cladding - Western Red Cedar Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Metallix Bronze/Surfmist 3Sep 23, 2018 10:10 pm Thanks for responding so quickly!
