Thoughts on grey windows?
Comments (55)I would go with black upvc windows at the front I think they would look really classy and different. I have an original 1930s round bay window fronted house with the original leaded lights they are beautiful mine is one of only two houses on the street with the original windows. As you can imagine they really need replacing but I cannot bear to let them go but if I have to I would be different and go for grey upvc. Or black....See MoreWhite or Anthracite Grey Window/Bifold Door on Extension???
Comments (17)Sliding doors are proving very popular at the moment as they can stack to one side and not protrude into the garden space and be easier to move than full set of bi-folds so that would an approximate opening of about 4m with 3 x 1.250m (plus frame ) panel of glass that would all stack in parallel inline. Or you could try panoramic doors they are more versatile as they are detachable from each other and give you more options for you layout at the finish. There a tutorial on you tube ? Do you have building control on these works as I am finding that architects are making us use a lot more steel as in a goal post design for stability, depending on how wide you want to go with the opening?...See More‘Off white render’?!?

Comments (7)Hi, I think it looks lovely :) Your house will look fresh and modern. What a fab update. For the render, what about still going for fresh with white but with a softer undertone? Not cream, but a white with some cream in it? Not sure I explain properly :) For exemple, F&B Wimborne white is a softer white, not as stark. Still definitively white but softer. Maybe visit a pain shop (like F&B for exemple) with one of your stone and see what work with it? :)...See Morelooking for a smooth white render
Comments (8)From what I remember from other posts, it’s the Polar White colour that is causing the most problems. There’s nothing “icy, cool or polar white” about the colour, it’s more a grubby cream. As Ricky advises, get some sample pots to try out first to avoid any expensive mistakes. You could search the relevant posts under Advice if you’d like to have a read of what others have said....See More

I presume you will be wishing to render the whole house?? I'd check what's under the 'tiles' at the top there. That style of tiling is often done on roofing battens with membrane behind and not brick. Therefore, it would not immediately lend itself to being rendered.
If this is the case you could consider an alternative covering from Marley for instance who sell a good selection of products for roofs, fascias, cladding etc Marley
I'd start by bricking half the large window of the lounge and bringing it out of the 60's / 70's. Change the fascias and the red tiles. You can even dye the brickwork instead of rendering dyebrick
You can even colour bond the UPVC windows and fascias if you wish so as not to have the expense of replacing them. colour bonding example
