Exterior Shingle Color/Stain

6 years ago

Beautiful cabin! What type of shingle in used on the exterior? 7"? 8"? Straight edge? What is the shingle stain color or stain? I love how it coordinates with the natural stone so nicely.

I built a lot of homes and many renovations. The vast majority has been white windows inside and out. We built homes with black exterior which look very good. We also had homes with stained wood and wood vinyl on the interior. I got to say the window looses its presence this way. It kind of blends in too much and looks bland. Many other customers have agreed with this.

This might sound a bit like being on the fence given the advice you've had already... How about a mid to dark grey ( less contrast than black), RAL 7022 is a favourite of mine (warmer grey), or look at a green grey, as something that will have the colour of the olive, with a good amount of contrast against the white render, (you won't have the warm rich colours of the brickwork as in the photos above (which the olive looks good against)). If you are painting the timber windows you would do well to look at microporous opaque stains to reduce your on-going maintenance. A benefit of aluclad composite windows is colour outside can be factory supplied different to the interior finish. Hope this might help. Regards, Nick

Do not paint the brick!! It's part of the homes appeal and its style. Change up the stucco color to a warm gray as well as paint the fascia boards a more appealing color also (deeper charcoal or similar) a grayed green would be another option for the stucco. As long it all works with both the roof shingle and the brick these are colors worth looking at. Another option for just the gable end would be cement board shingle (Hardieboard or similar) if you want a change from stucco.

After washing the facade there two options, 1 prime or 2 paint. 1. Use primer only nano technology (nano primer, paint, or plaster keeping their façades look bright all the time). 2. If you consider paint recommendation to use also nano paint or nano thermal ceramic paint. Nano paint just keeps the facade with no changes for life, but thermal paint not just keeps the facade bright at all the time but also dry out your house and reduce heating costs up to 33%.
