Jude1234 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I am being asked by my builder to choose the colour of the render. I want white but various people have warned me off pure white as it is too bright. But they haven't told me what white is okay. The preferred render supplier from our builder will do any RAL colour but it is dfficult to choose just looking at the RAL colour chart on a computer. Has anybody used a particular RAL colour render that could advise? If I get it wrong it will be an expensive mistake.... We have got anthracite grey windows, doors and slate colour tiles. I do not want a cream colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Ours is just off white (we re k rend and they basically do a white white (polar white) and an offwhite which is what we have) - I would suggest going to see a house in the colour you choose as it’s such an important decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would a. ask the manufacturer for a free sample of the colours you are interested in and b. ask them if they have local reference site(s) that you can go and look at (even from the street). Or failing that you post on a local site and ask if anyone has a house in the colour you are interested in.

If you go with K rend they will send you out sample trays of the three whites that they do I rendered ours in Stirling white Quite a muted colour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzie Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 this is a garden wall in polar white k rend.... I think their whitest white. Whilst its nice its nit as white white as the alumasc silicone stuff on the house. Its not a problem as they are not close together and the light is coming from a different direction but Polar White is not a very white white. You need to go and see some. If you are passing near Stratford on Avon area welcome to look at mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultramods Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Sorry I don't know what the colour is, it's an off/grey white. I really liked it especially against the dark woodwork and slate roof. Also sorry for poor image quality, I took it during a "drive by". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
