Colorbond roofing sheets are made of steel with a paint finish. They are cheaper than ceramic and concrete roof tiles. And they're very easy to install. For the people that love roofs of different shades, Colorbond roofing comes in different colours to match your taste. 

Here's how you benefit from the installation of Colorbond roofs. 

1. Fire Resistant 

This type of roofing provides a good level of fire resistance because it doesn't burn down easily. Because of its ability to resist too much heat and possible fires, Colorbond roofing is suitable for persons that live in areas prone to bush fires. Moreover, Colorbond roofing does not have porous surfaces like concrete tiles, so they are easy to seal against burning ash.

2. Resilient 

Colorbond roofs are safer to work with than ceramic tiles because they don't easily dislodge when you step on them. With Colorbond, you also mitigate the risk of destroying your items inside the house during normal maintenance practices. Not to mention that you do not have to move out of the house during maintenance practices.

Besides, they are very durable in harsh climates and resistant to termite attacks. For this reason, Colorbond roofing is ideal for house roofing in Australia. 

3. Lightweight 

Colorbond roofing is lighter than concrete and ceramic roofs. This means a constructor can maintain a large rafter spacing during installation. This eventually reduces installation and total construction costs. Further, they do not add any weight after installation since they do not absorb rainwater. They are also easy to lift up the roof during installation. 

In comparison, concrete tiles are so heavy that their supporting frame needs to be very stout. Tiles also become heavier after absorbing water while on the roof. If a constructor does not consider this factor when installing the tiles, structural problems and failures are highly likely to occur. 

4. Ideal for Collecting Rainwater 

Many homes have a tank for collecting additional rainwater for domestic, livestock or gardening use. Since Colorbond roofs do not absorb water, they will fill the tanks quicker than concrete tiles.

Concrete tiles also get dirty and wet. This creates a film on top of the tiles. Rainwater water falling on dirty concrete roof tiles also gets dirty.

Colorbond roofs can be reused after replacing them with new ones. This makes them environmentally friendly. Roof installers can replace any type of roof with this type of roofing solution.
