Red brick, red roof
Comments (13)I think your concerns are valid. Too much red. The roof does not look original to me, it looks painted already. If it is in good condition (pointing is all good, no broken tiles, no leaks)- it would be a straight pressure wash to clean, then a repaint. Perhaps get a couple prices? Late 70's, early 80's- this roof could of originally been brown, charcoal, green or even blue! I'm personally not a fan of 'adding' maintenance, so would avoid rendering, bagging or painting any of the brick (house or fence). If you have the budget, change the windows. You won't regret it- it will improve aesthetic, functionality and your electricity bills. There is little to any price difference between timber and commercial aluminium. Both would allow for a thicker, more defined frame, vs what you currently have. As for colours- by losing the commitment to all the red- will open up lots of options. Just depends on the look you want to achieve. PS- can't believe an air con installer would put those units there!!...when they could of gone around the corners, with conduit coloured appropriately and along the top of the fascia- you'd barely see them!...so dodgey!...See MoreHelp to decide colour bond roof to match existing red terracotta roof
Comments (3)Personally I'd use Manor Red. Probably won't see a lot of it anyway so if theres a discrepancy between Colorbond and tile it won't be as obvious. I'd also guess that the Manor Red would be a darker red than the terracotta tile? Could use Basalt for gutters and facias if you want a bit of grey perhaps?...See MoreHelp choose exterior house colour - manor red roof
Comments (4)Thanks for your comments. @Ruth BT do you have a picture to share? We have sampled Hog Bristle half, however my partner prefers the darker grey look very similar to current render....See MoreExteriors that work with Red Colourbond Roof and Gutters
