What makes COLORBOND® Steel the king of building materials?



Metal building products have shown remarkable results since its very inception, and have replaced all kinds of plastic or PVC based products. Out of all metal products, steel buildings have outperformed all kinds of metal building materials due to its alloy based structure, giving it high strength and longevity.
Over the last couple of centuries, humans have conducted a vast array of experiments using different elements in order to discover the most ideal building material. From corrugated iron products first discovered in 1843 to galvanized iron products and then to steel products. Steel-based products struck the perfect chord with human’s building needs and have evolved dramatically with the use of different elements in combination with steel.  Products like galvanized steel, galvalume steel and weathering steel have been highly successful in various applications.
COLORBOND Steel- The elite building material we were looking for.
As the use of corrugated iron became widespread, a major problem was discovered. The corrugated surface could not retain the paint applied to it and required a lot of repeated paintwork to maintain its aesthetics. A solution to keep the paint permanently on the surface of the metal was direly needed. In the late 20th century, experts found a way to perfectly bond paint to a galvanized iron base. Another breakthrough was made when galvanized iron was coated with zinc to make for the strongest and the most durable alloy in the history of building materials. These 2 discoveries gave rise to a material today known as COLORBOND Steel.
As you can tell, COLORBOND Steel was discovered based on years of extensive research and experimental efforts. This material is by far the most superior material in terms of performance, longevity and colour/paint retention. It is truly the pinnacle of building material evolution and has been serving all kinds of industries for a variety of applications like roofing solutions, pre-fabricated steel buildings and regular steel buildings.
Here are 5 benefits of COLORBOND Steel over other materials
1.       Longer lifespan:
Blending 55% Aluminium with 43.4% Zinc & 1.6% Si in an alloy coating enhances corrosion resistance. This is how most of the COLORBOND Steel is made and it is known to last up to 4 times longer than the conventional pre-painted Zinc coated steel.

2.       Energy Efficient:
COLORBOND® roofs are characterized as solar reflective as they are capable of reflecting a large portion of the sun’s heat. This way, you can keep your energy bills down as COLORBOND roofs inherently keep your interiors cool.

3.       Long-term aesthetics:
Super Durable Polyester Paint is usually applied to the COLORBOND® steel which provides high resistance to chipping, peeling and cracking.  This ensures that the aesthetics of your building stay the same for years and years.

4.       Protection:
COLORBOND Steel is tried and tested for extreme weather conditions and can be used in any kind of region. It has a high heat resistance and can easily last through generations without succumbing to any corrosion or damage.

5.       Eco-friendly:
Steel is 100 % recyclable and is made from materials which are already recycled. This makes COLORBOND Steel extremely eco-friendly and also cost-effective. This quality of COLORBOND Steel has made prefabricated steel buildings highly preferable in green building solutions.

Since its first in the year 1966, over 6 million tonnes of COLORBOND Steel have been produced for various application around the globe. In the initial phase, COLORBOND Steel was available in only 6 colour options. Today, it is available in over 20 colour options.
