metal roof - Benefits of colorbond and zincalume

All about the metal we use - BlueScope Steel

Master Roofing uses BlueScope steel which are the manufacturers of Colorbond and Zincalume roof sheeting. We use BlueScope metal as they are quality materials, built for Australian conditions and are built to last with a 30 year warranty.

BlueScope Steel is one of the most successful steel companies in Australia, producing steel material products for needs such as fencing, flooring, sheds, garages, guttering and roofing. There are two different BlueScope Steel products we use -
1. Colorbond roof sheets which are a painted gloss finish. There was 22 colours available in this range.
2. Zincalume roof sheets which are a silver aluminium finish.

BlueScope steel comes with a number of advantages as a roofing material, which include:

Anti Corrosive - Colorbond metal has a high tolerance and resistance to corrosion. New Activate technology has increased the chance of corrosion to the metal roof sheets by adding Magnesium to the products coating. This essentially lengthens the products lifespan. You can read more about it here.

Solar reflective - as part of Colorbond steels design, it includes a solar reflective technology that helps maintain more consistent tempretures inside your home all year round. Colorbond steel cools down fast when the sun sets, so less heat is radiated into the home/building. In winter the same roof, combined with insulation, helps keep the warmth in.

Built to last - Colorbond steel metal is backed by an extensive warranty. 30 years for corrosion and 20 years for flaking/peeling due to natural weathering. Extensive research and testing has been carried out which you can read about here to ensure that its built for Australian conditions and built to last.

A wide range of colours - With an extensive range of colours available, Colorbond roofing gives you the opportunity to match in with your neighbourhood and surrounds. You can read more about the choosing a roof colour here and see the range of colours available here.
