Render colour

3 years ago

We’ve just had our extension rendered. I told the plasterer we’d like it in white, he said we didn’t want white as it gets very dirty really easily and we’d always be cleaning it. He suggested we go for ‘chalk white’ and that it would still look white... we said ok, we’d not seen a sample (our mistake). Well, it doesn’t look white, it definitely looks creamy, more of a dirty white and I don’t like it. is there anything that can be done, can they re-render over the top or need to start again? I so wish I’d stuck to my guns but I know nothing about render 😕

Render and Window Colour Combination
Q
Comments (0)
Hi, Moving into a new house which is currently painted white with white PVC windows. We're planning on replacing the windows with Aluclad windows and I was looking for suggestions on colour combinations. Initially, I was thinking that I'd repaint the house white and go with Anthracite Grey frames. However I'm a little worried that it's very fashionable at the minute and might date in the next couple of years. I've also seen a few houses lately with lighter coloured windows which looked good. One had a grey with what looks to be almost an olive undertone with the walls painted a deep creamy shade. I'd be really interested to hear what colour combinations other people have gone for and whether I risk dating the house as '2016' with a white/dark grey/anthracite combination. I'll post photos later of the house as it is currently and a mock up of the house with dark grey windows. Thanks a million!!

Hi @aiexandrina, thanks for your reply. The pebble dash in the photo is actually falling off the back of the house, so we needed a full redoing. The acrylic render finish is guaranteed for 20 years, so won't need to be painted until then. We were considering grey and perhaps sandstone colours in keeping with the traditional look.
