Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge Re: Render Dilemma 11Jan 03, 2014 6:57 pm Hi we are picking roof and render now and are wondering where the house is that you had the image of? We are using the cladding that's in the picture on our portico. Also what render did you end up using? What brick do you have for the other outside walls or do you have render for all the walls. Thanks Sally Re: Render Dilemma 12Jan 05, 2014 9:19 pm The house in the photo was in Hillarys, but I don't actually know the address - I only know where it is by driving there! Sorry about that! It's a few streets back from Mawson's Park from memory. We ended up going with all render on our exterior and the colour we ended up choosing was Vanilla Quake. It's gorgeous! We love it. It's a very neutral colour that's a warm grey and goes with everything. We have a rich/dark timber lining to our eaves/external ceilings and our front door and the render contrasts beautifully with it. It's a great colour! We went with Shale Grey for our roof, downpipes and metal posts/pillars and it works well with that (is very similar but slightly warmer). Our boundary fence is Woodland Grey and so that contrasts really well with the house and seems to 'frame' everything. We're really happy with our colours. If you want to send me your email address I can email you some photos of our exterior. I find it really hard/time consuming to upload onto this site, so it would be easier to email you if that's suitable for you. Hope this all helps a bit?! Good luck!

Re: Render Dilemma 17Aug 06, 2014 11:24 am For what its worth, and I know its tough, I am using light leather and tapestry beige as my two render colours. I will be having a dark tiled roof and monument gutters and facia. My downpipes are not exposed so not an issue. Its crazy how stressful these decisions are...... Re: Render Dilemma 18Sep 03, 2014 1:41 pm Julesy 71 We actually ended up going with Shale Grey for the roof, guttering and downpipes and it looks fantastic. We're really glad we didn't go Surfmist as it would've been too stark given the size of our roof being quite large. It still looks really light but without being too reflective and prominent. As far as the render goes, we are still not there yet! Our builder said we could decide right at the end, so I haven't locked it in yet. But I've found a gorgeous group of colours that I think we will go with. Our builder had samples done up with the render applied and they look great. The colour combination will either be Vanilla Quake with Rampart for a couple of darker highlight/feature sections or Rampart as the main colour with Doe for the highlights. Vanilla Quake is quite light, but we are quite keen to keep everything fairly light. It is a really nice warm grey colour without any unwanted undertones showing through. Fingers crossed it looks as good on the walls when done! i am thinking these exact colourrs also and would LOVe to see what it looks like could you please send a pic to me ? anna.singleton@steelblue.com.au ?? would very much appreciate it its driving me mad trying to picture Re: Render Dilemma 20Mar 30, 2016 10:01 pm Hiiiiii... I am in your dilemma now Any suggestions?? Love the light grey colours for exterior (but not cement looking) White duck is nice.... I am looking for someone who might have tackled a similar issue as me. I have a few rendered interior walls, the surface condition is hardly flat. I can see all the bumps… 0 8198 Do you have a scope of works?
