Colorbond Roofing
Colorbond roofing is one of Australia’s most trusted and popular roofing materials—and for good reason. It’s durable, stylish, energy-efficient, and perfect for our climate. If you're considering Colorbond for your home or business, you're probably asking a few important questions. We’ve compiled the most common ones we hear from our clients and answered them below.
What is Colorbond roofing made of?
Colorbond is a type of steel roofing coated with a durable, baked-on paint finish. It’s made from high-quality steel manufactured by BlueScope and designed to withstand Australia's harsh climate. The steel is coated with a corrosion-resistant layer, then primed and finished with a tough, weather-resistant topcoat.
Is Colorbond roofing suitable for all types of homes?
Yes! Colorbond suits a wide range of architectural styles—from traditional cottages to modern designs. It’s available in a variety of profiles and 20+ colours, so you can match it to your home’s style and surroundings with ease.
How do I maintain a Colorbond roof?
Colorbond roofing is low-maintenance, but it’s still a good idea to:
-
Wash the roof with water occasionally (especially in areas not cleaned by rainfall).
-
Keep gutters and valleys clear of debris.
-
Check for damage after extreme weather events.
-
Schedule regular inspections to catch issues early.
How long does Colorbond roofing last?
With proper installation and maintenance, a Colorbond roof can last up to 50 years. The paint finish usually carries a warranty of 20 to 25 years, depending on the product and environment, and the steel itself is engineered for long-term performance.
Does Colorbond roofing rust?
Colorbond steel is coated with a zinc/aluminium/magnesium alloy that protects against rust and corrosion. It’s far more rust-resistant than traditional galvanised steel, especially in coastal or humid environments. Proper maintenance and correct installation are key to ensuring rust doesn't become an issue.
