Helena Re: Colorbond Dune and Monument together? 12May 30, 2011 7:48 am I'm not afan of different colour fascia to the gutters. (Mine are both Monument. If it helps, my garage door and steelwork are Dune.) Demolition August 2009, Construction Started September 2009, Completed December 2010 Colorbond Dune and Monument together? 13May 30, 2011 8:58 am We chose the dune fascia as we thought having it all monument being a dark colour would visually lower the roofline whereas now having the fascia match the house it appears higher Re: Colorbond Dune and Monument together? 14May 30, 2011 9:01 am hparis We chose the dune fascia as we thought having it all monument being a dark colour would visually lower the roofline whereas now having the fascia match the house it appears higher I agree with you, having everything the same colour looks a bit odd and I wouldn't definitely want a cream coloured fascia either Re: Colorbond Dune and Monument together? 15May 30, 2011 10:31 am hparis - Many thanks. Like Ken's your photos have really confirmed in my mind that we've made the right choice. Cheers BTW I really like your house colours overall. The purple would not suit our very traditional design - but looks smashing with the colours and design you've selected Casa2 - I don't have firm opinions either way, although I think hparis' point about making the roofline look higher is a good one. For us a different colour is imperative, though, as it will be seen on the front of the gable and needs to tie in the decorative wood trim which will decorate the front of the gable. Re: Colorbond Dune and Monument together? 16May 30, 2011 2:54 pm Hi East_Melb_Build. You may be interested in a photo of my facade because my selections include Bristle ‘Heritage Newcastle’ roof tiles and Colorbond ‘Monument’ guttering and fascia with Colorbond ‘Dune’ downpipes. My other selections include Colorbond ‘Jasper’ windows, Solver ‘Beaver’ render, Hume ‘Newington XN16’ entry door in Solver ‘Monument’ which isn’t visible in the photo, ‘Caoba’ garage panel doors, ISI 025 Ezi Fit stacked stone to piers and exposed aggregate driveway in ‘Salt & Pepper’ mix with 8% charcoal oxide. I had to change my colour selections half way through construction but I think somehow it has all come together quite well (bad brickwork resulted in upgrade to full render and many colour changes). My two cents- I generally don’t like different coloured gutters/fascia but it looks nice on some homes.

If it helps, my garage door and steelwork are Dune.) casa, Do you have a photo of your house?? We have just chosen monument gutters/fascia/downpipes and dune garage and cladding, would loev to see yours all together Thanks Hi all, Our boundary perimeter fences need replacing (3 sides). From everyone's experience, what would you install? Timber lapped and capped OR colorbond? Thank you. 0 2877 Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10208 You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 18563 |
