melindafountain Thank you for this information. I called the builder of this home and was told that they will not share any information regarding their building materials, stating that they build so many homes that it is difficult to keep up with the exact materials used on a particular home. We are building a house and I want to use this color combination for stone, board and bat and trim. Love it!
Matthew W Johnson, General Contractor Typically the batts are at 16" on center. That way the cover the verticle joints between the plywood sheets and can also be nailed to the studs behind the plywood. Assuming that they match a pleasant layout. But, typically, they are 16" on center.
exterior benjamin moore color? - gorgeous house! I saw in another comment the exterior color is a gray by benjamin moore, do you happen to know the name of the color used?
I looked through some of the other home photos as well, you guys build spectacular homes. »
laloofah I would guess that yes, it's 12". We just had the front porch gable on our new Craftsman house sided in board and batten, it looks exactly like this, and the batts are,12" apart. Our builder said since the board material (that he works with, anyway) comes in 12" widths, there's a seam every 12" that the batts naturally cover. We're very pleased with the look.
Please share the roofing material? I hv a dutch colonial and growing mold on the sloped roof shakes...would this be a good man made substitute? Need to re-roof soon...thx »
Metal Roof Network Man-made synthetic roofing has an abysmal track record. Have you considered a beautiful, permanent metal roof system? You may be surprised at the variety of roofing in this category - you'll find the most shapes, colors and textures. Check out www.metalroofnet.com and have a look at our galleries to get an idea of what's out there. Good luck with the re-roof!
Anne DeCocco I can't help with the trim color, other than to say it's a very creamy white. As for a darker color making a house look smaller, I think it does. Not necessarily in a bad way, as you can see by looking at this home. It's gorgeous. If there are lots of trees around a home, I tend to lighten up the exterior color. Same goes for most ranch style homes. Dark colors make them receed, although the very light trim brightens things up nicely.
Column Dimensions - Could you please tell me what the dimensions of the columns are? Also, after reading all of the questions previously answered, I have not yet been able to find the exact BM color used on this house. Would you mind disclosing for us design challenged? Thanks for your help! »
The colors chosen for this home's exterior go a long way in accentuating its design details. Taupe siding takes its color cues from the Indian Creek stone column bases. Clean white trim and beefy white columns add contrast, symmetry and depth.
