External Colors

I got this photo from the Austral website which shows the bricks we chose for our house.  It also more or less use the same shade of red we chose for the roof tiles.  Without the second level, this is the external colour that we chose including the fascia and gutters.  Hopefully everything turns out well.

This is a sample of how the color combination we thought of.  The design is quite different but color of the roof and brick should be close.  I think the roof tiles is on the darker side though.  Check out the sample below from the website of Bristile Roofing.




Bricks:  Austral Moccasin







Roof Tiles:  Bristile Redwood












The image below is how the house will look like - front view.  With the actual dimensions.
