Brookvale Facade Repaint & Colour Change

3 Colours was engaged by the strata committee of this Brookvale residential complex to give the building a complete refresh and modernise its appearance through a new colour scheme. Over time, the façade had developed issues with efflorescence, cracking, and visible grime — particularly due to the dark blue paint previously applied.

The existing dark colour not only amplified the appearance of mineral salts leaching through the substrate but also absorbed excess heat, contributing to surface damage and cracking.

Scope of Works

• Full exterior washdown and preparation to remove dirt, mould, and efflorescence
• Repair of substrate damage caused by water ingress and heat stress
• Complete repaint using Dulux premium finishes, with the following colour selections:
• Flooded Gum – replacing the dark Deep Ocean Blue
• Snowy Mountains – replacing the aged cream tones
• Monument – applied to retaining walls, fascia, new fencing walls replacing the old Brushwood screening
• Application of coatings designed for durability and UV stability in coastal conditions

Outcome

The transformation was outstanding. The new mid-tone palette created a fresher, contemporary look while reducing heat absorption and highlighting the building’s architectural features. The completed project not only enhanced street appeal but also provided improved surface protection and long-term performance.
