FEGEITOK:Interesting metric @gbadexy from the UK courtesy justservicesgroup website Which exterior house paint colours are most popular in the UK? Grey – 24,190 monthly searches White – 11,430 monthly searches Black – 8,230 monthly searches Green – 3,530 monthly searches Red – 2,440 monthly searches Cream – 1,810 monthly searches Blue – 1,580 monthly searches Brown – 800 monthly searches Pink – 570 monthly searches Yellow – 240 monthly searches Orange – 110 monthly searches Purple – 40 monthly searches Start looking into the most popular exterior paint colours for homes in the UK and one shade immediately stands out. It is, of course, the ever popular grey. The monthly search volume for grey masonry paint during the period we researched stood at a whopping 24,190 searches, a number which far exceeded any of the other colours users were searching for. Topping the popularity charts for exterior house paint were grey shades of light, slate, dark, charcoal, Plymouth and gravel. This shows a natural evolution from last year’s huge interest in grey decor for interiors, with paints like Zoffany’s ‘Paris Grey’ and Farrow & Ball’s ‘Down Pipe’ in high demand across the UK. The runner up of white saw less than half of the searches that grey did, with 11,430 searches per month. In third place was black masonry paint, which attracted 8,230 monthly search queries over the period we analysed.

FEGEITOK:Aside from being a cool color, it last longer by gradually fading into lighter shades of it. |

FEGEITOK:white and cream are very impractical colours for houses. i joined ***** in 2006. at that time they were painting their petrol stations dove gray. for some reason in 2009-10, they decided to start painting white As a naija matter, almost everyone in the industry followed suit white is insanely hard to maintain. you wash every six months, paint every two years. sometimes it gets dirtied as you are painting, esp if there is fuel scarcity. Total nigeria sifted to brown and white few years back and their maintenance costs are better for it white paint on a building exterior is a white elephant project. and some choose to go for white texcote |

GloriousGbola:People use white or cream as a concept and to make a statement. White is not hard to maintain as you think and neither is it a white elephant project. Invest in the right type of paint like self cleaning and dust repellent paint. |

diordaves:I agree with you. Choosing the right type of paint is important in any project. Here is white paint from Gbadexy we used for this project, for some years now, the white is still brilliant, even though the road is untarred and dusty. By the way, gate is courtesy of Michilins.

sonnie10:You used weathershield matte. Not many would use it even though the benefits are explained. There is a reason different grades exist with corresponding prices. There are however some colors like shades of beige, pale mushroom, abuja brown etc that mask dirt also. It was pleasant supplying your screeding and painting supplies. Thanks very much for the patronage sir. |

Rockyheight:25m can only get you to roofing stage. Currently on a similar project (although mine includes a penthouse in the dining section of the first 3br) and it has gulped 20m with just roofing, with roofing remaining to be done. I have been documenting my progress and will create a thread on it when the time is right |

temi4fash:Your foundation/German floor have failed. The cracks are a result of differential settlement of a failed foundation and a German floor done haphazardly or not done at all. You will need to pull down the blocks from the affected areas, compact and recast the German floor and set the blocks back up again. Pull down the blocks in a way you can reuse them again. Blocks too cost now. |
