Tile Hang

Tile hanging on the front dormers is complete. Here is how it looks :

The family is divided on whether or not they like this look. I am reserving judgment until the scaffold comes down and the windows are installed. I think I would have preferred stone, but appreciate the difficulty with achieving the insulation levels. Tile hang is not such a bad compromise. Better than render anyway.

Don't know which side of the family we are with, but we feel the tile hanging on the dormers is preferable. Stone may have looked too heavy! J&B Essex. Cheers.

Dunno on this one.....it does look a bit "heavy" but what are the options? I agree with you about rendering; have you looked at other Coldwold houese? What do they do?

BTW, I'm just about to pay GdF....are you still coming?????
Sue did email Jan, but has had no response.

Thanks for the votes on the tile hanging. I was hoping by now that the scaffolding would have been taken down, and we would have been able to see it all much better. Alas they did not turn up and it is still there.
A lot of houses round about do have rendering, and I think the tile hanging is much preferable. A lot also have stone (like we do on the single original back dormer), but that just seems to be the older houses.
Cheers,
Steve
