Frequently Asked Questions
What is Colorbond steel and why is it popular in Australia?
Colorbond steel is a pre-painted, high-tensile steel product that’s designed specifically to withstand Australia’s harsh and unpredictable weather conditions. It consists of a durable core coated with a corrosion-resistant Zincalume® layer, followed by a primer and a baked-on topcoat of colour. This multi-layered structure gives it excellent resistance to corrosion, chipping, peeling, and cracking, making it ideal for roofing, cladding, gutters, fencing, and other building applications.
Colorbond is particularly popular in Australia because it’s engineered for local conditions—whether that’s coastal salt spray, bushfire zones, or extreme heat. With a sleek appearance and a wide range of colours inspired by the Australian landscape, Colorbond combines durability, thermal performance, and visual appeal, making it a go-to choice for both residential and commercial projects.corrosion resistance
Is Colorbond steel energy-efficient?
Yes, Colorbond steel is a highly energy-efficient building material, especially when used in roofing applications. It features Thermatech® solar reflectance technology in many colours, which helps reflect more of the sun’s heat and reduce the need for artificial cooling inside the building. This can significantly lower energy costs, particularly during hot Australian summers.
Additionally, Colorbond steel works well with insulation and ventilation systems, improving overall thermal performance. It’s also 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly option for builders and homeowners seeking energy-efficient and sustainable solutions.
What colours are available in Colorbond steel?
Colorbond steel is available in a wide palette of 22 standard colours, all inspired by Australian landscapes—ranging from earthy neutrals and ocean blues to modern greys and sleek blacks. Some popular colours include Surfmist®, Woodland Grey®, Monument®, and Basalt®, each suited to different architectural styles and preferences.
The colour coating is baked onto the steel during manufacturing, so it’s fade-resistant and low maintenance, even in areas with high UV exposure. Colorbond colours are grouped into classic and contemporary ranges, and certain colours also meet Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements, making them suitable for use in bushfire-prone zones.
