Colorbond vs Zincalume Roofing Comparison

What Roofing Material is Best for Your Roof?

DTM Metal Roofing offers both Colorbond® and Zincalume® Bluescope Steel as long lasting, durable and stylish roof material options

 

The two options available are Colorbond® or Zincalume®.

Both options are:

Colorbond®

Colorbond® is much more than ‘paint on steel.’ Since its introduction in 1966 it has grown from a colour selection of 6, to 22. It contains 5 layers with the top colour coat baked on to retain its vibrant finish for longer in the harsh Australian climate. This means that re-painting is not necessary.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Colorbond®

Zincalume®

Introduced in the 1970s, Zincalume has proven to have a lifespan of approximately 4 times longer than that of galvanised iron. In 2013 the next generation of Zincalume Steel entered the market with patented Activate® technology making Zincalume even more durable and resistant than the original.
