Extending and can't match bricks.. shall we render the whole lot!??
Comments (24)If you can match the bricks do and then paint the window frames. Man About The House painted his (I think) UPVC windows a lovely sage green which would brighten the whole thing. He has posted some pics somewhere- it looks really lovely. Hopefully he can advise. I’ve totally copied his idea and the new windows are arriving in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait to see the difference it’ll make to our tired exterior!...See MoreRender or Brick Slips on Edwardian property?
Comments (6)I guess companies and products can vary business to business, We are aware from customers we speak to who have received samples from companies that not all people who advertise having genuine brick slips actually do there strange mixes of plastic, ceramic replicas etc. However The Brickslip Brothers do sell and even install genuine authentic products and there are methods in treatments available to helps blend the style, there so many unique advantages to this product, I am sorry for the experience you had with the company Titiankim, if its something you ever consider looking at again get in touch, all the best The Brick Slip Brothers....See More1960s / 1970s Extension dilemma - no bricks! render or clad?
Comments (3)Personally i'd say, if you're going to such lengths with a new garage, extension possibly the porch etc, which is a lot. I would render the whole front of the house and garage to tie the whole project together. However, you can't see much of the brick of the garage on the front, just the piers. Looking closely at them, I think the garage brick was slightly different to the main house and wonder if it was already an addition? Also, if you look at the bricks above the line of where the garage has come down, the top bricks are a different colour to the bottom. So 1, 2 & 3 are all different colour bricks. 1 and 2 are very similar, but to me there is a subtle difference as 1 doesn't contain any darker bricks and is very slightly brighter red....See MoreDilemma - Brick flat roof extension fascia colour
Comments (4)It’s quite difficult to see from the photos as the scaffolding is still up and we have mahogany windows which are very dated and I don’t want to keep. The fascias around the roof are black but I feel that the fascia is so large that black will be too huge and stark. I’m feeling in a dilemma. I hope the photos help a little....See Moretgross39
