More Information on COLORBOND® Fascia
What is a COLORBOND® fascia?
A COLORBOND® fascia is a steel fascia board that runs along the edge of your roofline. It is designed to replace traditional timber fascia, providing a long lasting solution that resists warping, rotting, and pests. Made from COLORBOND® steel, it not only adds strength but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home. Key features of COLORBOND® fascia include exceptional durability, resilience under harsh Australian conditions, and advanced coatings such as Thermatech® solar reflectance technology for improved energy efficiency.
Unlike timber, a steel fascia is pre-painted, corrosion-resistant, and supported by robust building product warranties from BlueScope. The benefits of COLORBOND® fascia include long-lasting performance, low maintenance, and superior reliability, making it an excellent choice for both new builds and re-roofing projects.
BlueScope warranties apply to COLORBOND® products that are performance-tested, Australian-made, and compliant with strict Australian standards, giving homeowners added peace of mind.
Fascia as part of your roofing system
Your fascia is a critical part of your roofing solutions. It provides the finishing touch to the roofline, supports gutters, and protects the edge of the rafters.
COLORBOND® fascia is compatible with a wide range of steel gutters, including Quad, Trimline®, and Ogee styles. To ensure the best performance and appearance, consult with your supplier or installer to determine the most appropriate gutter, fascia, and downpipe profile and size for your specific application. This ensures you can create a seamless finish between fascia, gutters, and downpipes for a complete rainwater system.
For homes with flat roofs or skillion designs, steel fascia provides a neat and modern finish that pairs perfectly with COLORBOND® roofing sheets. The form of the fascia can be customized to suit your architectural vision, enhancing both the style and functionality of your roofline.

One of the key advantages of choosing COLORBOND® fascia is the wide range of roof colours available. You can match your fascia with your roofing, gutters, and downpipes for a consistent look.
