If you are replacing a tile roof or installing a roof on a new home, Colorbond roofing offers many advantages. Although tile roofs are one of the most popular options in Australia, Colorbond roofs offer similar advantages and more.
By investing in a Colorbond roof, you gain the following benefits.
1. Light
Colorbond roofs are lightweight. This means you don't need to invest in additional roof supports when installing a Colorbond roof. Colorbond roofs also don't absorb moisture like tile roofs do and so are lighter during wet weather.
2. Leak resistant
Because Colorbond roofs are smooth and seamless, they offer great leak resistance. This is a useful benefit during storm season as your roof can quickly channel torrential rain away from your roof.
And if you like to collect rainwater, Colorbond roofing is the ideal roofing material. The bonded finish of Colorbond roofing means your roof won't absorb moisture, allowing you to collect more rainwater on rainy days.
3. Versatile
Colorbond roofs come in a wide range of colors, which gives you the ability to choose a shade that complements your home. You can also choose from many different textures and shapes. So no matter what style or colour your home is, Colorbond roofing works well.
4. Durable
Colorbond roofs can withstand harsh weather conditions like extremely hot and cold temperatures. And you won't have to worry about corrosion affecting a Colorbond roof since Colorbond roofs utilize steel with a protective corrosion-resistant coating that keeps out water and other corrosive substances.
5. Fire resistant
If you live in an area that is at risk of bushfires, a Colorbond roof can protect your home from the burning embers of nearby bushfires. Colorbond roofs don't burn and there are few hiding places for stray embers to settle into.
6. Thermally efficient
Most of the colours of Colorbond roofs use a solar reflectance technology called Thermatech that helps to reflect solar radiation. During hot summers, this can help to keep your home cool and reduce the strain on your air conditioner.
7. Environmentally friendly
At the end of a Colorbond roof's lifespan, you can easily recycle all of its components, since Colorbond roofs are made of steel, one of the most recycled materials on the planet. Colorbond roofs are also light, which means you can easily transport them when the time comes to recycle them.
Colorbond roofs are the ideal roofing solution for the Australian climate and home style. Are you about to replace your roof? Then call a reputable roofing contractor who specializes in Colorbond roofing.
