External Colour and Materials


During our settlement period we decided to complete our colour selection form.

I thought this was going to be easy, but, many trips to existing buildings with certain brick and mortar colour combinations, window frame and fascia combinations later we made our decision. Then when we thought we were finished the bricks didn't match the roof tiles or the render colour clashed with the facia. It is mind boggling sometimes the amount of slight combination changes we made but we have made up our minds (or have we?) and submitted the form to Huxley

 Bricks from Boral - Oasis Mountain.
(selecting a brick colour was the hardest part because once it is in, it is in. The actual brick colour is browner and less grey than this picture in real life, especially in the sun)



 Garage Door from Gliderol - Cedar Timbergrain
(this is aluminium with a timber look. We have seen a few of these around the place and look awesome with neutral bricks)



 Fascia and Gutter from Colorbond - Basalt




 Front Pillars from Taubmans - Popcorn Ball
(we are unsure about this colour but it will be easy enough to change if we have to)




 Roof tiles from Boral - Gunmetal Grey




Window and door frames from Trend Window Frames - Anodic natural Matt
