Choosing the Right Metal Roof: Colorbond vs Zincalume (and more)
We know picking a metal roof can be overwhelming. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular materials to help you make the right choice:
Colorbond
Colorbond is the most popular roofing material in Australia. It’s made by Bluescope Steel and features a painted finish baked onto a Zincalume base. Available in a wide range of colours, it’s low-maintenance and highly resistant to corrosion, fading and chipping.
- Ideal for visible roofs where appearance matters
- Comes in a huge range of colours
- Great for coastal or high-exposure areas
Zincalume
Also manufactured by Bluescope, Zincalume is a more cost-effective option. It’s made from aluminium, zinc and silicon, and has a shiny silver finish. Zincalume is extremely corrosion-resistant, but not as visually appealing as Colorbond.
- Cheaper than Colorbond
- Same corrosion resistance and strength
- Best for areas where the roof isn’t highly visible
Lysaght, Steeline, Stratco
These are trusted rollformers and suppliers that manufacture roof sheets using Bluescope base materials (Colorbond or Zincalume).
- Lysaght – A Bluescope-owned brand known for classic profiles like Custom Orb.
- Steeline – A network of independent suppliers using Australian steel.
- Stratco – Offers its own roofing systems with solid warranties and support.
We can source and install materials from any of these suppliers, depending on your needs, budget, and preferred profile.

A Brief History of Metal Roofing in Australia
Metal roofing has been part of Aussie homes for well over a century. But it wasn’t until the 1960s that things really changed — that’s when Colorbond® steel was introduced to the Australian market by John Lysaght Australia, now part of BlueScope. It quickly became the go-to roofing choice for its durability, modern look, and low maintenance.
Before Colorbond, galvanised iron was the standard. It did the job but didn’t last nearly as long in coastal or humid environments. Then came Zincalume®, developed in the 1970s as a stronger, longer-lasting option thanks to its aluminium-zinc coating. Many of the major brands we work with today — Stratco, Steeline, Lysaght, BlueScope — all helped shape the metal roofing industry into what it is now.
Today, you’ve got a range of options to choose from, but they all owe their roots to the innovations that started right here in Australia. We’ve worked with every major product over the years, and we’ll always recommend the best option for your home — no gimmicks, just solid advice backed by experience.
FAQs About Metal Roofing
How long does a metal roof last?
With proper installation and maintenance, a metal roof can last 30–50 years or more.
Is Colorbond better than Zincalume?
It depends on your needs. Colorbond is better for looks and UV stability, while Zincalume is more budget-friendly.
Can I replace my tile roof with metal?
Absolutely. We handle tile-to-metal conversions — including removal, battens, and installation.
Do you offer roof insulation too?
Yes, we can install foil-backed insulation under the metal sheeting during installation.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?
Not if it’s installed properly. We use anti-vibration pads and insulation to reduce noise.
Do you install for new builds and extensions?
Yes — we work with homeowners and builders on new residential roofs.
