Darren bless him knew my heart was set on this so we went with surfmist for the colorbond roof and standing seam.
Houses with surfmist colorbond roof.
Colorbond ultra steel in monument colorbond ultra steel in surfmist colorbond metallic steel in galactic.
Our first build had a surfmist roof and our new build is also going to have a surfmist roof.
The colorbond steel lysaght spandeck profile was selected for the cladding due to the strong wind rating in light of this home being just south of a cyclonic zone and also due to the beautiful shadowing effect over the surface of the building.
Whilst our neigbours with darker roofs had their aircon running when the temps got over 30c we could easily survive with just ceiling fans.
Profiles used were fielders kingklip 700 roofing and fielders finesse nailstrip walling.
It s a wonderful combination drawing inspiration from an era of glamor and extravagance.

There is also colorbond walling in shale grey with a monument garage.
Outside it looks white but because it has a hint of underlying grey you don t need a pair of sunglasses to look at it.
Like a lot of people have already written it has significant thermal advantages over the darker colorbond colours.
This house has a colorbond dune roof gutter facia and garage.
The house below has a shale grey roof and gutter with surfmist facia posts and balustrades.
To all intents and purposes this looks like a fresh white because there isn t another white introduced into the scheme.
The roof colour for this period home is colorbond steel basalt matt a colour that lends itself to being used in highly contrasted combinations in this instance with chalky white coloured walls deep charcoal coloured details and marble.
