Our architectural tinted windows and doors are in, external cladding is almost complete, but we've reached lock-up! Tiling commenced, our solar panels have been instored, vergola ready for lazy lunches on the deck and now to focus on the natural swimming hole.
We've begun installing our Weathertex exterior cladding with rubix panel and weatherboards. Weathertex is a manufactured product that is 97% recycled hardwood timber and 3% natural wax making it a low voc and extremely environmentally friendly product.
Boys from @redchipconstructions have hung our front door! Love a good bit of wood #healthyhomesau #sustainableliving #ecolux #goodwood

Woodland Grey vs. Surfmist, my heart and style palette are saying Woodland Grey but my wallet and carbon footprint are saying Surfmist. A light coloured roof can save on your energy bills and keep your house cooler in summer.
A sexy dark roof is a NO if you want a cool home this summer
Tragically I fell in love with the sexy deep dark hue of Woodland Grey along with 70% of Colorbond® customers in the last year when selecting our roof colour. After reading research on solar absorption and how a light coloured roof can cool the temperature down in your home by as much as 65% more than a dark coloured roof, I’m not willing to loose stars on my green star rating without evaluating the impact it will have on our home.
Your roof is one of the largest and most visible elements of your home, making it the heart of your colour palette choices. The type of roof material, the pitch of the roof, environmental surroundings and the location of the home on the block may also have a substantial impact on your roof colour choice. When selecting a colour it is worth keeping in mind that the colour choice should not over shadow the design of the home.
If you are considering building a sustainable home or are concerned about the energy costs for cooling your home then a lighter colour roof selection should be researched. The Building Code of Australia (BCA) have rated roof colours by their rate of solar absorption on a scale from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating 100% absorption of solar radiation.
So what is solar absorption? Solar absorption refers to the proportion of solar radiation that reflects off a roof and is not absorbed by the roofing material which has an impact on the temperature of a roof space and home. The lighter the roof colour, the more solar radiation it will reflect, creating a cooler home.
Is solar absorption impacted by the type of roofing material used? Research has proven that a Colorbond® home because of the technology used in the lightweight aluminium sheeting can cool a home by 5 degrees more than concrete or terracotta roof tiles. Combine Colorbond® with a light colour choice and this will meet the needs for your sustainable home.
Now if your sold like I was on the benefits of Colorbond®, how does that sexy dark Woodland Grey compare? Woodland Grey has an SA (Solar Absorbance) of 0.71 and is considered a dark colour. Keeping with the grey palette, Surfmist has an SA of 0.32 and is considered to be a light roof colour.
Woodland Grey, Monument, Ironstone - your time to shine is over. Welcome the cool colourings of Surfmist. For those sustainability adventurers with a slighter more beige taste.. Classic Cream is your palette offering. Own your light roof colour and celebrate the opportunity to reduce the temperature in your home this summer. SURFMIST! I’m owning it…
