Colorbond is a steel material roofing choice by BlueScope. Vigorously tested and manufactured in Australia, Colorbond is best known for being able to withstand the most extreme weather conditions in Australia.
First introduced in in the 1970s, Colorbond was the solution to corrugated roofing. Prior to Colorbond, corrugated roofing sheets were a popular choice for property owners because of how durable, strong, and tough they were. However, the maintenance on corrugated roofing sheets was quite high because the material tended to corrode easily and required frequent re-painting to keep it in good condition.
When it comes to choosing metal roofing, many homeowners get stuck on the choice between zincalume vs colorbond. Colorbond Roofing is made with a zincalume core and a prepainted seal. This means the finished product is highly resistant to corrosion, won't tarnish, and is very strong and durable. Some other benefits of Colorbond include a long life span, increased house thermal efficiency, and a roof that is likely to withstand any weather conditions.
Colorbond is also a popular choice for Australians because of the many designs and colours it is available in. There are 22 colours to choose from, of which have been inspired by the Australian pallet. This enable customers to tailor their roof to suit the rest of their home.
