Dear members.

Which one you chose and reason, picture please 😊

How about longevity, any issues like salt, dust issue, discolouration, chiping?

Its my first home in NSW.

I suspect the reason manufacturers make different colours is because different people , and different designs , suit different colours better .

Even with a suggested design , and things like roof colour and door style ( even garage door ) and gutter style and feature timber and stonework and 1000 other options -- I may still prefer a different tone to you .

Otherwise we'd end up with whole suburbs that look much the same , and who would want that ?

Colours to go with Colourbond Ironstone roof
Q

Hi, we are extending upstairs over a older red brick home. we have Ironstone windows, gutters, roof. We are going to render the extension but don't want to go lighter like a Dune colour but more of a medium grey. We will be replacing our posts and garage door with timber (also have a timber gate) so I feel like we can get away with a darker grey upstairs render. Do you know a good medium grey that goes well with Ironstone? Initially I was thinking Simone Weil and maybe even Guild Grey if it's not too dark?

in that case I would stick with the monument. However I must admit that I do love that colour and we are having it on our new build. I like it because it has the richness of a darker contrast without the problem of black fading and looking faded whereas monument can experience a degree of fading over time and it would not be as obvious.

We have had the same dilemma with lighter multi colour bricks. We used an interior designer to help.... We painted large sheets of cardboard with colour and put them against the brick... Bought sample pots of colours as cheaper than making big mistake... Monument was recommended against our Sandstone & red/brown fleck bricks... No blue in sight. Other idea is to match a colour in your brick to draw out that colour as per the neighbourhood photo - take a brick to paint store to match. We will use red in brick as feature colour on garden walls.

I searched the PGH website and found they are both in the Alfresco range so any problems would apply to both.

The description "surface coloured bricks with a textured surface finish" makes me think they are the type of brick I've read complaints about. If not laid and cleaned carefully there can be chipping.

I prefer old-fashioned bricks with the colour all the way through. I don't know why they decided to take a rugged hardwearing product and change it to make it less so.

But if those are the two colours you like the potential drawbacks apply equally. so it's it's really up to you and what other colours you want to go with it.
