I agree with Rennew Traditional Building Materials - it's not a question of what's 'trending' or 'passé', but of really paying attention to the existing building and marrying that with the sensibility of the future inhabitant. Some spaces suit the industrial treatment, some don't, and no-one should be forced to be fashionable. I can't help thinking of the old Bauhaus principle of 'truth to materials' though. If you find yourself faking an 'authentically exposed' surface, then something isn't quite clicking in your analysis of what's in front of your nose. Not that I wasn't once taken in by an entirely ersatz 'industrial' café in Paris once, which was not, as I'd supposed, a converted butchers! The convincingly-aged metro tiles were to die for...

Not sure where are you based but I used Homebase Masonery Red Brick paint thinned with water. It looks very natural, doesn't leave a shell on surface. You can buy a small tin for £2.79 for 225ml to try the colour. To make it more bricky you can buy two colours and mix them to get some tones like Chocolate. Link below http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/decorating/exterior-paint/homebase-weathercoat-brick-red---smooth-masonry-paint---25l-595981 I paint terracotta tiles on my bay window using that paint (red brick, chocolate, black) if you want lighter effect you can use terracotta colour. Had a big problem to remove the eggshell White paint end up painting it over.

Extension - Render or Brick on a Brick House?

Hi Tina, I totally agree with the miss matching bricks- it either has to be so different that it is clear that it is an extension, nothing worse than trying to blend the two together and then not quite hitting the mark. If you go down the render approach then I too would highly recommend a Krend or Webber render- these have a colourant within the product and as such they should never need any maintenance- ideal if your near trees as you can just blast it with the pressure washer. Another idea could be to do a timber frame extension with a timber cladding on the outside. This should be costed out - it could potentially be more expensive on the materials element, but should hopefully be cheaper in the labour department, and currently labour is pretty pricey and hard to come by. Just a thought, ping some pictures over when your done as would love to see it.
