Colour preferences are subjective and can be influenced by factors such as age, culture, gender, and eye colour. However, with us here at Empire Roofing, we prefer darker colours for our roof designs because it has a way of complimenting the lighter colours on the walls of your property. If you are considering repainting your roof, here are some of the best roof paint ideas for 2022. Once you have a colour choice in mind, you can complete the colour change of your roof by scheduling an appointment for your roof restoration Sydney today. Let’s take a look at some colours, shall we:
- Monument
The top spot goes to Monument, a colour that contrasts nicely with Black gutter; if the roof has peaked, Lexicon half strength will look great on the flat panels and soffits. Walls made of rendered material or lumber can be painted a shade between an off-white and a full Lexicon colour. For individuals who want a shade darker than standard grey but not quite as dark as charcoal, Monument can meet your needs.
- Dark Grey
Dark Grey comes in second; it is a lighter version of Monument with a barely distinguishable tint of blue that gives dark grey a new depth and style; it pairs beautifully with Black gutter and Lexicon half-strength gables.
- Charcoal
Charcoal is a great choice for a Hampton-style roof because it goes well with a wide variety of trim colours, including black, dark grey, medium grey, light grey, and white.
- Manor Red
The conventional colour for a metal roof on an imperial home is Manor Red, but if you live in a particularly hot climate, silver might be a better choice.
- Woodley Grey
Woodland Grey is a dark grey with a trace of green that complements light trim and wall colours with a hint of green in them to create a visually interesting overall effect.
Things to Consider When Choosing Your Roof Paint Colour
- Avoid Blue: It’s best to stay away from deep blues because they fade rapidly. When applied to the blue paint, Nano-Protect is a clear coating that protects against fading, maintains the paint’s shine, and extends its life. The product is expensive, but it is money well spent.
- Product: choose quality over quantity; cheap is cheap for a reason; on the flip hand, the priciest paint isn’t always the greatest. Some well-known paint companies spend a lot on advertising, driving up the price of the product, but that doesn’t make their roof paint superior. If you want to paint your roof, you should look into it, read reviews, and talk to people who have already done it.
- The Colour of the House: the colour of the roof should either go with the siding or stand out from it.
- Heat: dark colours absorb and reflect more heat; thus, they are not ideal for a metal roof. Using heat-reflective paint is one solution, but not all of them are compatible with dark colours.
To get the finest results, you need also pay attention to the applicator you use alongside the product. Choose excellence; choose Empire Roofing.
