Design Flexibility: A product of intensive research and design, COLORBOND® steel is one of the most versatile building materials available. Australia's leading architects attest to its virtually limitless design possibilities, using it for everything from award-winning homes to faithful renovations of heritage style homes. It's light weight and provides maximum flexibility in locating interior walls and floor plan design. And its extensive range of colours and profiles ensures truly individual solutions for your home. From the traditional bullnose verandah to the soft sweeping curves of today's innovative designs, CURVED ROOFING made from COLORBOND® steel or ZINCALUME® steel is designed to make an impression that really lasts. Year after year, curved steel roofing regularly features in architectural award winning housing and commercial designs. Durability & Security: Durable and strong, COLORBOND® steel is designed smart & built tough to withstand Australian conditions. From the tropical climates to blistering sun, COLORBOND® steel works to protect your home. The devastating hailstorm that ravaged Sydney’s Eastern suburbs in April 1999 has highlighted one of the many benefits of modern, high tensile steel roofing. The superior oven-baked finish ensures it stands the test of time, and the extremes of the Australian climate. For roofing and walling, it is securely fixed in long, continuous sheets providing a weather tight roof. * This means no gaps - and no leaks - even in torrential rain.* It resists chipping, peeling and cracking. And because it's steel, it's a tough barrier for wind, hail, falling branches and flying debris. COLORBOND® steel is non-combustible and termite resistant. As a roofing material it is also deterrent against burglars forcing roof entry into your home. Come rain, hail or shine, you can depend on COLORBOND® steel to keep on protecting your home. * When installed to manufacturers specifications. Thermal Efficiency: Cool in summer, warm in winter - COLORBOND® steel is the thermal efficient roofing of choice. In summer a light-weight roof made from COLORBOND® steel causes less heat to be radiated into your home as it cools down faster at night. And in winter, the same roof, properly insulated, helps keep the heat inside. Whatever the climate, whatever the weather, COLORBOND® steel is the energy smart roofing choice through reduced cooling and heating costs. To maximise the solar efficiency of a roof manufactured from COLORBOND® steel, design the home to face true north.
