Need some advice about external cladding colour
Comments (11)Just a thought - Have you tested the existing cladding for asbestos prior to removing? Some of my coastal clients also feel the need to 'fill' the corrugations at the ends prior to capping or butting up to end frames: to dissuade small creatures from also moving in to a nice new home. Colorbond Surfmist will look great and horizontal will help to balance your homes height, however, it also gives ridges where dust and dirt sits and so needs to be hosed down more often - probably a good idea as it removes some of the salt as well. Good luck with the reno, the Architects image looks great....See MoreCarport/outdoor area design advice and external Windows and doors
Comments (3)For the car port I would keep it simple and open. Use a skillion colorbond roof attached to the house and timber support posts. Do you want to continue with the Tuscan theme? If so I think either go a whitish colour or a darker charcoal colour for the windows and doors. If you intend to paint the exterior walls then you open a whole other world! The front fence would look amazing out of sandstone if that is in your budget, otherwise what about a stackable stone finish which you could glue into a Hebel wall?...See MoreExternal roller shutters on sliding doors?
Comments (6)we successfully used Sarlon roller blinds on the outside of windows...make sure the blind is held out from the window to maintain air flow We also created a screened outdoor room using black Sarlon cloth attached to frames enclosing a verandah (access through an old fashioned fly screen covered in Sarlon)...initially to keep out the sun but it also did a great job of keeping out bugs and keeping inside warmer in cold weather..the black Sarlon has the effect of looking through fly screens thus improving the view looking out and obscuring the view looking in during the day...i suggest you double check the use of double glazing in the tropics as you need to allow heat to escape overnight and a window covering would be better on the inside to keep heat in during short periods of cold weather...See MoreExternal Dulux Vivid White doors & trim or not?
Comments (9)Thanks for the ideas. Really appreciate it. I have a sample pot of surfmist but all I see is green in it. I had not thought of Hog Bristle - I also have some sample pots of it (full, half and quarter) so might try a door. Perhaps I could even try the Natural White? I do have a bit of a thing for white trims......just not this white outside when the sun hits it. Below is a picture of the interior where I have used the Natural White on the walls and Vivid White on the trims and ceiling (paint job not 100% finished)....See Moreh101
