How Long Does A COLORBOND Roof Last?

There is no other name more synonymous with top quality roofing than COLORBOND – the world leader in ultra tough and resistant steel roofing. COLORBOND is a pre-painted steel roofing material that is designed to withstand the harsh impact of the Aussie weather.

Because, after all, Australia is a land of gnarly sunshine and serious storms, and both of these inclement conditions require the very best in resistant roofing.

So, you can expect your COLORBOND roof to last anywhere up to 30 years before it might need repair or replacement. Its parent company, BlueScope Steel, offers a 20 year warranty for chipping and flaking, as well as a 30 year warranty for weather damage.

And, whilst 30 years is the given warranty period, you may even expect your system to last for a massive 70 years – that’s just how tough and reliable it is for Aussie homeowners!

So, now that you know that your COLORBOND roof can last anywhere from 30 to 70 years without problems, let’s take a look at some of its other outstanding benefits below:

1. They contain ultra-tough material

   COLORBOND is created using ultra-tough steel that is then coated with aluminum and zinc to further its strength and prevent rust and corrosion. It is then painted with a coat that is baked on at extremely high temperatures to avoid chipping, flaking or any other distortion.

   The use of the highest quality materials is key to COLORBOND being one of the strongest roofing solutions on the market. It’s the use of these ultra-tough materials that has made COLORBOND a household name in Australia and why roofing specialists across the country have always turned to it for installing the best roofing solution possible.
   
   

2. They are highly leak resistant

   You never know when a nasty storm is going to come washing over your home. Unfortunately, many older roofing systems have lost their ability to expel rainwater as it hits the roof, something that inevitably leads to leakage problems within the home.

   Thankfully, COLORBOND exists to quickly expel rainwater through a smart ridge design that makes it ideal for homes that are susceptible to storms. You will no longer have to worry about your old system allowing leakage during a wild storm as COLORBOND roofing is designed to withstand the storm.
   
   

3. They are eco-friendly

   There is no doubt about it: Aussie home and business owners alike have to be more environmentally-conscious about their properties. Thankfully, COLORBOND is produced with 100% recycled steel, ensuring that it is actually one of the world’s most reused products.

   What’s more, COLORBOND’s strength and durability makes it incredibly thermal efficient, ensuring that it will help keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter. This is not only great for your carbon footprint – it will also help you cut down on your energy bills!
   
   

4. They are safer than other roofing materials

   Roofing materials – like that of tiles – are unsafe in wild weather. This is why tiled roofing systems are those that routinely have repairs experts come to their aid after a big storm.

   COLORBOND, on the other hand, is made from extremely durable steel panels that don’t falter when a strong wind comes rolling through your suburb.

   These reasons – and the fact that it simply looks superb – are why Aussie homeowners and roofing companies alike choose COLORBOND for their roofing solutions. It will keep your home safe, insulated and look stunning all at the same time!
