If you have been researching quality construction materials for your fence, you have most definitely come across Colorbond.
For over 50 years and counting, Colorbond, manufactured by Bluescope Steel, is a proud Aussie-made brand dedicated to withstand our harsh climate, including UV rays, lots of rain, drought, hail, strong winds, and more. Since the 60s, Colorbond fencing, roofs and other structures continue to revolutionise the Australian construction scene with robust, flexible solutions that fit every Australian home.
Longevity thanks to the material and coating
With 5 layers of protective coating—top coat, primer, pre-treatment, metallic coating, and steel base—Colorbond goes beyond the ‘paint on steel’ caliber of materials.
Many people see Colorbond as a valuable asset for the durability it offers for a long period of time. Having served the Australia for over half a century now and tested with the ever changing climate, Colorbond is modified with modern technology to serve its purpose of protection and even goes beyond.
In roofing, the Colorbond material is also lightweight as opposed to traditional terracotta or brick roofs, only 1/10th as heavy — but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t fare among its contenders, in fact, it is equally strong. Metal roofs are trusted for their longer lifespan, and Colorbond offers a material warranty that lasts up to 36 years (and more, if the roof is maintained well!).
Rot and rust resistant due to coating, moisture and termite resistant
Roofs and fences are outdoors and exposed to the elements day in day out, you have to be sure that it meets safety standards that will both protect you and the material itself. Colorbond is rot and rust-resistant, protected by layers of coating. Moisture also cannot penetrate its’ way in, alongside the vital quality of being termite resistant, which is especially important in QLD. Colorbond is the perfect all-around protection for every Australian home that seeks quality, standard, and style.
Very low maintenance requirements
Regular simple small cleaning with water helps prolong the life of a Colorbond by clearing away dirt that adheres to the surface which eventually will lead to faster deterioration of the material. Constant maintenance ensures the performance of your roof. Because the colour of the roof is bonded to the metal, chipping or peeling incidents are avoided. When you choose Colorbond, you save up away from unnecessary repairs or replacements.
Elegant and versatile appearance
Aside from the outstanding durability it offers, Colorbond gives property owners and contractors the option for creativity that could bring more value to your property. That’s why they are changing the game and breaking old styles! In the past, metal fencing and roofs were only available in a limited design range. But with modern advancements in technology as well as popularity, Colorbond is now available in 22 various colours! This means that your fence can perfectly compliment the rest of your house with a suitable shade.
Environmentally sustainable
One of the best benefits in choosing Colorbond is that the steel in Colorbond is 100% recyclable. To top of that, the material is lighter than hardwood timber as well as bricks, so the logistics are easier—lesser transportation and energy consumption.
The most exciting environmental benefit of switching to Colorbond is that they produce lesser waste compared to other types of fencing materials because there’s no need to replace them so often, thanks to their longevity. Green living at its finest, while enjoying quality material!
