Houses with surfmist colorbond roof.

This house has a colorbond dune roof gutter facia and garage. The house above has a shale grey colorbond roof and gutters with surfmist facia. This home by claire cousins architects shows the colorbond standing seam in surfmist in action. 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.

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. To all intents and purposes this looks like a fresh white because there isn t another white introduced into the scheme. The house above has a colorbond surfmist roof gutter and facia windows garage door and the posts and rafters painted to match. There is also colorbond walling in shale grey with a monument garage.

Whilst our neigbours with darker roofs had their aircon running when the temps got over 30c we could easily survive with just ceiling fans. The house below has a shale grey roof and gutter with surfmist facia posts and balustrades. Like a lot of people have already written it has significant thermal advantages over the darker colorbond colours. 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.

Our first build had a surfmist roof and our new build is also going to have a surfmist roof. This home richardhenry features colorbond steel on external cladding fascia and gutters in monument and the roof is colorbond ultra steel in surfmist. It s a wonderful combination drawing inspiration from an era of glamor and extravagance. Profiles used were fielders kingklip 700 roofing and fielders finesse nailstrip walling.
