More Information: COLORBOND® Roof Sheets
COLORBOND® Roof Sheets – Built for Australian Conditions
COLORBOND® roof sheets are trusted across Australia for their exceptional strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Manufactured by BlueScope Steel, these roofing sheets are engineered to resist rust, corrosion, and harsh climates – from coastal salt spray to tropical downpours. Each sheet is precision cut-to-size, making installation easier and reducing waste. Homeowners and builders alike gain access to genuine COLORBOND® products that suit every architectural style and contemporary design, whether for building or renovation projects.
COLORBOND® offers an extensive range of profiles and options to meet diverse needs. Their roofing sheets provide superior durability and performance compared to traditional roofing options, making them a preferred choice for Australian conditions.
Thermal Efficiency & Colour Range
With more than 20 colours available, including thermally efficient options like Surfmist®, COLORBOND® roof sheets help improve insulation and keep your home cooler in summer. Popular finishes such as Woodland Grey® and Monument® deliver stylish results that enhance both residential and commercial projects.
Profiles to Suit Any Project
-
Corrugated roof sheets – lightweight and versatile, the classic Australian choice.
-
Trimdek® sheets – bold, modern lines, ideal for contemporary homes.
-
Klip-Lok® panels – secure fixing system for large areas and commercial applications.
Each profile is engineered to join seamlessly with adjacent sheets, ensuring proper coverage and structural integrity during installation or repairs. Every profile is tested and proven to perform under Australian conditions. From small houses to large commercial buildings, you can expect reliability, strength, and longevity.
Accessories & Installation
To ensure a secure fit and prevent leaks, pair your roof sheets with the right accessories:
-
Roofing screws - available for metal or timber framing, including all the screws you need for installation. When installing or replacing roof sheets, using longer screws is important to ensure better fastening and durability.
-
Flashings - barge capping, apron flashing and custom flashings to deflect water and protect vulnerable areas.
-
Gutters & downpipes - complete your system with matching COLORBOND® components.
Our sheets are simple to install, whether for new builds or re-roofing projects. Compared to tiles, concrete, aluminium, or timber options, steel sheets are lighter, easier to attach, and require less maintenance. When repairs or access are needed, pulling back a section of roof sheets should be done carefully, and putting panels back in place requires attention to proper sealing. Working on a specific section or place of the roof can vary in difficulty, but the design of COLORBOND® sheets makes installation and access more practical.
Roofing Safety: Best Practices for a Secure Installation
Roofing safety is essential for both homeowners and installers when working with COLORBOND® roof sheets. To maintain a safe environment, always remember to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a mask, to protect yourself from sharp materials and dust. Before starting, check the location of your roof for any potential hazards, such as overhead power lines or fragile surfaces, and ensure the area is clear and secure. In Western Australia and across Australia, it’s important to monitor the weather forecast and avoid installation during wet or windy conditions to prevent accidents and leaks. Make sure all the screws are properly fastened to maintain the integrity of the roof and prevent water ingress. By following these best practices, homeowners can ensure a safe installation process and enjoy the long-term benefits of their COLORBOND® roof.
Maintenance Tips for Your COLORBOND® Roof
To maintain the exceptional strength and longevity of your COLORBOND® roof, regular maintenance is key. Homeowners should routinely check the roof sheets and posts for any signs of corrosion, leaks, or other issues. Use a wire brush to clean away debris and dirt, helping to keep the steel surface free from contaminants that can cause corrosion. If you notice any damaged or rusty sheets, replace those sections promptly to preserve the structural integrity of your roof. In the Northern Territory, where extreme weather can be a concern, it’s especially important to secure all sheets and check for potential damage after storms. By taking these steps, you not only add years to the life of your roof but also enhance the value and appearance of your home.
Understanding Your COLORBOND® Roofing Warranty
When you choose COLORBOND® roofing products, you’re investing in a solution that’s backed by a comprehensive warranty, providing peace of mind for homeowners and commercial property owners alike. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period, depending on the product and its application. To ensure your warranty remains valid, it’s important to follow all maintenance requirements and keep records of inspections and any repairs. In the unlikely event of issues, homeowners should provide detailed documentation to support their claim. COLORBOND® products are rigorously tested to meet Australian standards, so you can expect a high-quality, reliable product that’s built to last. Whether for residential or commercial buildings, the warranty offers reassurance that your investment is protected, making COLORBOND® a great choice for any project in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Colorbond roof sheet cost?
Prices vary depending on thickness (BMT), profile, and length. Use our online store to calculate exact costs for your project. For tailored advice, talk to an expert or installer to ensure you choose the right option for your needs.
What is the difference between Colorbond and galvanised roof sheets?
Galvanised sheets are zinc-coated, while COLORBOND® has a baked-on paint finish that improves corrosion resistance, colour choice, and overall longevity. Repairs or replacements can also impact the view and visual appearance of your roof, so consider aesthetics when making your choice.
How much does a Colorbond roof cost per m² installed in Australia?
Installation prices vary by region and builder. On average, homeowners can expect $50–$80 per m² installed. Contact your installer for a detailed quote. The age (year) of your roof can affect maintenance or replacement decisions, as older roofs may require more extensive work or upgrades.
What size is a Colorbond standard sheet?
Standard cover widths range from 762mm (corrugated) to 850mm. Sheets are cut-to-length to suit your roof design.
Can you share an example of a roof repair experience?
A friend recently installed solar panels and needed roof repairs. Without professional advice, unexpected costs and issues arose during the project. This highlights the importance of consulting with experts before starting major roof work.
