Hardie siding colours to go with existing stone & brick - help!
Comments (13)Was not suggesting you clad the brick at all -- just paint it, which is relatively cheap. My other suggestion was to eliminate one of the siding choices on the front (Thereby saving some $). In so much as I can see the right colors better on my monitor and it appears that you like blue, my opinion was that w/the absence of the yellow brick you the darker of the blues would work w/the stone. My comment about the timber ark was related to the question you asked of me earlier when on my iPad it looked as though you had posted brown (timberbark), white, and gray -- thus illustrating the point I attempted to make earlier about the distortion of color in this medium. Again, good luck....See MoreHelp pick Hardie siding color! Please!!
Comments (21)Wouldn’t the warranty kick in then? No product is perfect. But most have a way out. Read the warranty carefully because most of them state that if their is a problem and it's not caused by 10,000 different things, they'll replace the product. However they won't pay to remove the bad product or pay to put up new product. Basically most warranties are almost useless. Primed hardie with the intention of painting defeats the purpose of hardie. It’s a fabulous product and I don’t regret it at all Yes it's also fine as long as you are happy with their limited choice of colors....See MoreNeed help choosing exterior siding and color!
Comments (10)I like the stone removed....less is more. I'm not sure I like the white railings; if you go with black windows, I would do the railings the same color like the first picture you posted. But I'd also rethink the black windows. I know they are trendy right now, but I have heard of people regretting the choice. At the very least, I would consider having the windows white on the inside....See Morehelp choosing James hardie siding color- arctic white or a dark grey?
Comments (11)Stone was a foundation material, before we had concrete. When using stone as a decorative element, it is best to use it near the foundation, so it looks authentic and useful - and put it all around the house. Back when stone was used as a building material, it would never be put on one wall, as you've shown. The only time stone would climb up off the foundation is when it was used as fireplace/chimney. That's why folks are objecting to a small wall of stone - and "peel and stick" refers to the fact that it is clearly for show, not structural. 4 exterior materials is 2 too many. The facade looks busy and disjointed - rather than a uniform siding type to bring the elements together, the various materials make the house look like different structures, plopped next to each other....See Moresandy0904
