In Australia, buildings are exposed to some extreme weather conditions, ranging from extremes with both hot and cold temperatures, light rains to heavy hail and slight dust to strong winds.
With Western Australia and Perth in particular being so close to the coastline, coastal elements, like salt, are highly corrosive and one of the main reasons why maintenance can be required.
However, Colorbond Steel is tested through all these conditions during manufacturing and it is one of the main contributing factors as to why Colorbond roofing is so widely used across the country.
Colorbond steel is manufactured in Australia and to the Australian regulated standards (AS1397 and AS/NZS 2728). There are five layers of protection within the steel – including a topcoat, primer, pre-treatment, metallic coating and then the steel itself. Due to this, Colorbond roofing has ample longevity and durability that other roofing materials available are lacking.

Try to not use any chemical or abrasive solvent cleaners on Colorbond Steel surfaces as it can damage the paint system which is designed for durability purposes.
Whilst Colorbond Steel has strong durability and is known as a premium choice for roofing, maintenance is still required.
Maintenance for Colorbond roofing includes:
Ensuring that there is a yearly inspection. An inspection ensures that any potential roofing damage is repaired in advance.
Depending on site location, regularly washing the roof is advisable (ideally every six months, more if in coastal location).
Removal of build up of leaves and natural debris from the gutters, downpipes and any overflow devices
Do not over use pesticide. Certain pesticides can lead to wear and tear of roof sheets.
