How is Colourbond steel made?
Colourbond starts with a Zincalume steel base. Zincalume steel has an aluminium/zinc/magnesium alloy coating that delivers outstanding anti-corrosion performance. Then a conversion layer is applied to the surface of the steel to improve adhesion. Then a polyester primer is baked onto the surface. Finally a top coat is applied consisting of a specially developed, exterior grade paint that is baked on to ensure maximum resistance to chipping, peeling and cracking.
How do I determine if my roof should be replaced?
In time, every roof needs to be replaced, usually due to the long term effects of weathering. If a residential roof is more than 20 years old, it is a prime candidate for re-roofing. Look for things on the inside such as places where the roof deck is sagging, signs of water damage or leaking, dark spots and trails and outside light showing through the roof. On the exterior of the roof, pay attention to damaged flashing, missing shingles, curling, blistering, buckling, rotting and algae growth. Visually inspect your roof for cracked, torn, bald or missing shingles. Metal roofing facts: tile roofing material begins to deteriorate as soon as it’s exposed to elements such as the UV rays of the sun, temperature changes, severe storms and high winds. A Colorbond roof will never deteriorate and can withstand most everything Mother Nature throws its way. Colorbond roofing is made for Australian conditions. There are 22 different colours you can choose from. Whether you have a traditional or contemporary home there will be a colour or style of Colorbond roofing that will suit your home. It has a durable baked-on paint finish that resists corrosion, chipping, peeling and cracking, which means you have long lasting and durable roofing. It’s one of the lightest roofing materials available and requires less ongoing maintenance than other types of roofing.
Is insulating my roof a good idea?
Yes, at Rapid Flow Roofing we always use anticon insulation as a standard as it is required in the roofing code. We sometimes offer the highest quality insulation as an extra.
