I've gone for a yellow/orange colour brick, coz i prefer these colours Idiots are fun, that's why there is one in every village! - Dr. House - Re: I need a help- PD-Brick color 17Apr 02, 2009 11:13 am I'm not going to tell you what brick to use, because everyone has such different opinions where colour is concerned, and because, like everyone else, there are things I like and don't like!!! I don't know that I agree that bricks necessarily "date" , as much as, say facade and decor styles, do, but, again, that's just my personal opinion. I think the only thing I would suggest is to have a look around at different bricks on different houses, and go with what you really love - it's your house, you have to live in it, and it's only you that you need to worry about pleasing! I LOVE my bricks, I don't really care what anyone else thinks, and I'm not in the least bit concerned that they'll date! Go with your heart!!!

Re: I need a help- PD-Brick color 19Apr 02, 2009 1:50 pm pinkladyloo What you need to think about is this. If you have dark window frames on a brick facade that is light (high tone), then you will show up the number, size and shape of your windows more. If you choose a brick that is the same in tone as the window frame, you won't draw attention to the windows in contrast. And for me this applies in reverse - light window frames on a dark brick (double storey houses more than a single). They stand out like anything. I wanted my windows to fade into the background so to speak. pinkladyloo Just remember that bricks do date! Agree totally! You only have to drive through Estates that are 10years old and see that. Happy at Home Re: I need a help- PD-Brick color 20Apr 02, 2009 6:24 pm I'm thinking of buying Cat1 bricks and standard mortar, then render the entire house. We might do the front for a start, then we do the entire house later once we move in. Light beige seems to be the most popular colour for render, so yeah Choices choices choices I would probably definitely consider contrasting out garage door (e.g. light ash would look great) and make downpipes and fascia same colour as your walls, not as your… 1 3626 Suggestions please for acrylic rendering Color to match austral brick urban one pepper.
