COLORBOND® is a well known roofing product, however, Fielders and BlueScope make other roofing products treated with distinct alloys. Metal roofing can be created out of aluminium, be galvanized, or treated with ZINCALUME® coating - all of which have varied properties and purposes. There wouldn’t be any COLORBOND® roofing product if it wasn’t for the revolutionary ZINCALUME® technology.
ZINCALUME® Steel (BlueScope Steel)
All ZINCALUME® commercial or industrial products are known by their silvery colour, it’s a result of enriching sheet of aluminium with zinc. Buildings, whether commercial or industrial, in which the emphasis is put on usability instead of design will do perfectly with ZINCALUME® roofing. In residential buildings, they're perfect for garages, sheds etc. With its endurance and efficiency ZINCALUME® steel is an excellent, famous roofing product. Speak to a licensed roofer from National Roofing Australia to acquire comprehensive information regarding ZINCALUME® steel.
Activate™ - a technology implemented in new generation of ZINCALUME® steel roofing products, uses magnesium to increase the properties and efficiency of roofing products. All ZINCALUME® steel roofing products have a 36 year warranty, valid even for buildings in marine or industrial areas. ZINCALUME® steel is a BlueScope Steel’s flagship roofing product, which is visible on many buildings in Australia.
Aluminium Roofing
Combining aluminium with other metals, including zinc or magnesium, creates an very strong product from it, having said that, aluminium is also used as a roofing material. Roofing created from aluminium is really light, quite inexpensive, and completely recyclable, as a result, many roofs are built from it. With itspowerful anti-corrosive properties, which resemble ZINCALUME®, it is quite proven roofing material. In case you don’t know what type of roofing product best suits you, don’t hesitate and contact National Roofing Australia.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanization is treating a sheet of steel with zinc. ZINCALUME® steel is different than galvanized sheet of steel as a result of omission of aluminium in the manufacturing procedure - insufficient aluminium minimizes the durability and performance of galvanized roofing. ZINCALUME® steel is somewhat more successful and durable than galvanized steel, even so it doesn't provide the same design properties as metal sheeting treated with Heritage Galvanized Finish from Fielders does. Fielders’ Neo Roman profile adds an incredible retro touch to every roof it envelopes.
Heritage Z600 along with its lighter Heritage Z275 companion are traditional galvanized roofing products from BlueScope Steel. Heritage are products suitable for renovation of old buildings or buildings which are designed to resemble them. Galvanization underlines the nobility of every antique building. The modern generation of Galvanized roofing from Fielders goes with 10 year guarantee and 10 year watertight guarantee.
Galvanized roofing products may not be as long-lasting and anti-corrosive as for instance ZINCALUME® products are, but the love and aesthetic qualities in which they’re produced compensates for their efficiency flaws. National Roofing Australia is a Fielders’ Approved Heritage Contractor who has experience in instaling galvanized roofing, an experience that is necessary to fully uncover the potential of Heritage Galvanized Finish.
