Colorbond roof installation in Brisbane

Why Colorbond suits Queensland homes

Colorbond steel is made for Australian conditions. A steel roof is far lighter than concrete tile, which matters on older frames, and it sheds water fast in the heavy downpours Brisbane gets in storm season.

Lighter Colorbond colours reflect more of the sun's heat than darker ones, which can help keep the roof space cooler in summer. Good sarking or an insulation blanket under the sheets makes the biggest difference to comfort, so we cover both when we quote.

Choosing a colour

Colour is the decision most people spend the longest on, and it is worth taking your time. Look at the colour on a real roof in daylight, not only on a screen, and think about the walls, trim and gutters it has to sit with. We bring samples to the quote so you can hold them up against the house.

If keeping the home cool is a priority, a lighter roof colour helps. If the look of the street matters most, a mid or dark tone may suit better, with insulation doing more of the work. We talk you through both.

Homes near the coast

Salt in the air is harder on metal roofing. For homes very close to the bay, we explain which roofing products and fixings suit the location during the quote.
