COLORBOND® steel

Product Description

COLORBOND® steel is one of Australia’s most loved building products known for its durability, versatility and aesthetic appeal. COLORBOND® steel undergoes a rigorous coating process, where a durable paint coating is applied to a steel substrate. This coating provides protection against corrosion, chipping, and peeling, ensuring the longevity of the material even in harsh environmental conditions.

As an iconic building material, COLORBOND® steel has consistently proven its value time and time again as a visually striking, robust, and enduring material. It complements a range of architectural styles and building material choices. Additionally, its selection of thermally efficient light hues aids in maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures on scorching days.

Tried and tested in the rigorous Australian environment, COLORBOND® steel not only looks outstanding but also delivers long-lasting performance, making it the quintessential choice for high-quality construction projects.

COLORBOND® steel conforms to relevant Australian Standards AS1397 and AS/NZS 2728 and is backed by BlueScope warranties for peace of mind.

COLORBOND® steel is a versatile and durable material, but ensuring its compatibility with other materials is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Due to the risk of galvanic corrosion, COLORBOND® steel should not be used in direct contact with non-galvanised steel, copper, brass, lead, stainless steel, or Monel metal.

Lead flashing should not be used with COLORBOND® steel products.

It is also recommended to avoid using galvanised gutters with roofing made from COLORBOND® steel to prevent potential corrosion issues.

Handle the sheets carefully to prevent scratches or abrasions to the protective coating.

Avoid dragging sheets over rough surfaces or across each other to minimize surface damage.

Store COLORBOND® steel in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture accumulation.

Keep the sheets elevated off the ground using wooden or plastic pallets to avoid contact with moisture and debris.

Follow manufacturer guidelines and recommendations for handling and storage to maintain the integrity and longevity of COLORBOND® steel products.

Regular washing with water maintains the attractiveness and extends the lifespan of COLORBOND® steel, protecting your investment. While surfaces washed by rainwater, like roof cladding, usually don’t need extra care, areas such as wall cladding under eaves, garage doors, and eave gutters need regular cleaning. Hose down areas not washed by rainwater every six months, or more frequently in coastal or industrial areas.

For stubborn dirt, use a mild solution of pure soap or non-abrasive detergent, then rinse thoroughly.

Avoid abrasive cleaners to ensure your COLORBOND® steel lasts for years with minimal maintenance.
