Christmas season is here and whilst the big day may be done and dusted for another year, a lot of us will have spent the last few days around the house. Did you notice your roof looking a little worse for wear? Is it looking tired and worn? Maybe it’s time to give the gift of COLORBOND® to your tired roof. Why choose COLORBOND® though? There are so many reasons to choose COLORBOND® as a roofing material, more than we can list here in one post. We could go on for days about the benefits, both to your hip pocket and the environment, instead we have put together the top five reasons why you should gift yourself a new COLORBOND® roof this silly season.
Cost
COLORBOND® may not be the cheapest material, but it is a long way from the most expensive. Given the cost, the average lifespan of COLORBOND® steel well and truly outlasts any other material on the market. So the little extra spent now, could save you thousands in the long run.
Cleaning
We have never met an easier to clean roof surface. COLORBOND® is not only hardy in our tumultuous climate, but it also doesn’t allow too much build up on the surface. Where rougher surfaces such as tiles may make it easier for debris to get caught, COLORBOND® has a smooth surface, so debris has nothing to stick to. With regular maintenance, and annual checks, there is no reason your COLORBOND® roof shouldn’t last a lifetime.
Maintenance
Speaking of maintenance, COLORBOND® steel has little to no real maintenance involved. Throughout the year, spot checks for debris build up and grime and you are set. Annual check-ups by professionals are a must for any roof, so a combination of these will keep your COLORBOND® roof looking and feeling fantastic for decades to come.
Flexibility
Did you know COLORBOND® steel comes in over 20 different colours, with matching fences and guttering. If you are looking for a well-designed roofing system, COLORBOND® has you covered. Classic, Contemporary or Matt, whatever suits your property and area, there is a COLORBOND® colour palette just for you.
Water
With droughts and fires across the country, water is one important factor in every home these days. Your roof is not exempt. Older tiled roofs will often absorb large amounts of water. Not only does this add to the weight of your roof, if you have a water collection system, you could be collecting even more water. COLORBOND® steel due to its finish and design does not trap or absorb water, and with the right run off system in place, you could be saving every drop for when you need it most.
These are just some of the critical benefits of having a COLORBOND® steel roof for your home. Our dedicated team are experienced installers of COLORBOND® roofs and we would be happy to answer any other questions you may have.
