Hi,

Has anyone or does anyone know/seen a house rendered with these colorbond colours?

We are using sky night black for our flat tile roof.
Tossing up between Monument render for our facade - but partner doesnt like it against the black roof thinks it clashes too much.
Other option is Basalt or Woodland Grey render.

Has anyone built with these render colours? Would love to see and get ideas on others opinions

thanks

Also in similar position, We are using black for our flat tile roof.

Was going to also do night sky for guttering and fascias but unsure if it will stand out too much

Having window frames in black

Monument for our garage

but stuck wether to do gutters and fascias in monument or stick with night sky hmm...

Renders we are also reconsidering, our display had GULLY which looked dark grey in person but on the color sample it looks like it has a green tinge to it so it’s made me wonder what other greys we may like, not having pictures or seeing renders in person makes it a lot harder !

Makes it so hard not seeing in real life hey!
Well we choose our colours on Monday, but then after consult sent through the paint draft of our house, we didnt like our orginal choice which was
Render: monument
Gutter: Night sky black
Fascia: surf mist
Roof: Black (Bristile tiles)

The black roof and monument render clashes to much with each other, and we paid extra for the parapet which is what we want as a key feature of our facade.

So we had 48 hrs to change our mind, after that we would of had to pay a admin fee. So it was a quick but very hard descision. So we went with keeping the monument render, and changing our roof colour to a lighter grey-ish. Gun Metal (Bristile tiles) and basalt for gutter so the gutter doesn't stand out too much (we were going to go with black) but like to said it could possibly be too much of a stand out. These 2 pics are what we were tossing up between with, but ended up choosing the Basalt gutter to blend into the roof.

I think you made a good choice to change the gutter etc, I no longer want night sky black anymore we drove around last night looking and it does stand out too much on the houses you see it on.

We were now thinking monument render but I’d really love to see what it looks like, they really need to give examples in person of a small surface instead of cardboard examples haha

I’m thinking possibly dark roof with monument guttering and fascias with some sort of grey render and our stone and tile features at the front a greyish color also but it’s hard to try match all these colors when you can’t see it visually haha

Oh, im glad you mentioned that you saw the night sky gutter in real life - makes me feel more confident in choosing not to have it against a medium grey coloured roof

It sounds like your colour scheme is very similar to ours - love it! When is your house set for construction?

My brother built his house with 3 different render colours. Monument, surf mist and timber - so we have seen the monument in real life and i do love it and always love the dark colour scheme, but its still too hard to imagine what it would look like on your own house :S

We are doing what you are planning to do to... after handover the 2 pillars at front facade are currently brick (Grey Gum Austral) but we will be tiling these with stone tiles after to save us some $$$

Construction doesn’t start until early next year as our builder Rawdon hill closes over Xmas period so everything will be on pause until the new year now.

We are building down in Melbourne south east.

I added a photo of our display house, so we will have dark roof with monument gutters and fascias and garage.

Grey tile and stack stone

With some sort of color render which we are only now stuck on we will know when we go put all the colors together again haha

The monument is very dark but I love it, there is enough contrast with the silver that it’s not too much

Hi - I know your posts were from a while ago, however hoping you can please help me out with some feedback on Rawdon Hill?

We have seen their display home and really like the look of it. Wanting to find out from people who have built with them recently if you are happy with your house?

Thanks

You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould.
