5 Fantastic Benefits of Architectural Metal Roofs

Beauty Meets Strength

Choosing the right roofing material can protect your family or business from the harshest weather. And when it comes to quality roofing, nothing compares to architectural roofing made of Colorbond. It’s strong, durable, aesthetically pleasing, lightweight and energy-efficient. What more can you ask for?

Not convinced yet? We have five key benefits that will change your mind.

1. Reliable & Long-Lasting

Perhaps the biggest benefit of architectural metal roofing is that the material does not deteriorate, even when exposed to harsh conditions. Colorbond roofing is highly durable and capable of withstanding the worst outdoor elements from storms to bushfires. The latest in Colorbond technology can even give you a roof that can last for two or three decades. Plus, the specialised paint will keep it looking as good as new.

2. Design & Style Flexibility

Metal steel roofs are highly flexible and durable, so you can explore a range of roofing designs. Whether you want classic, contemporary, finesse or even quirky roofing; you name it, we can do it with metal! So if you need to adapt to your neighbourhood’s aesthetic or want to stand out with a unique roofing style, metal roofing can meet your exact needs. Choose from various designs, colours and styles to get the look you’re after.

3. Eco-Friendly

If you’re looking for a sustainable and energy-efficient roof, Colorbond roofing is your best option. Made from zincalume or galvanised steel, there’s no doubt Colorbond is 100% recyclable. Plus, it is even made from recycled materials!

In addition, our Colorbond roofing has outstanding insulation properties. So, by keeping your premises cool in the summer and warm during the colder months, you’ll be cutting down your energy use and carbon footprint.

Here’s a tip to make your metal roofing even more sustainable: choose light colours. Light colours are highly reflective, which can cut down the heat build-up in the building. You’ll definitely feel the difference, especially in rooms just below the roof.

4. Rainwater Harvesting Features

Along with being completely recyclable, your Colorbond metal roof has another great green feature. Its smooth surface makes it perfect for harvesting rainwater. This ensures water isn’t left to stagnate on your roof, plus it can be filtered via your gutters to a water tank to be used in any number of ways. Taking advantage of rainwater to water your garden or wash your car is a great way to live green and save on water bills!

5. Cost-Effective

When you’re looking to save but not skimp on quality, Colorbond roofing is the answer, even if you’re after a custom roof design. This is because Colorbond metal roofing is extremely energy-efficient, so you won’t be spending as much heating and cooling your home. Similarly, it is extremely low maintenance, saving you another hefty chunk of change, and not to mention time!

We had a poorly installed roof that had a series of leaks that had gotten to a point where it needed to be replaced.... Unfortunately for us we had a limited time frame to have this completed in between moving and expecting a baby within a month. KC roofing inspected, quoted and completed work in a matter of weeks including a variation (installed a skylight), total roof replacement and making compliant just before the birth of our daughter. I especially have to thank Casey, Aaron and Reid who were so lovely to speak with and although it wasn’t all smooth sailing they were professional, respectful, kept me informed and took ownership to ensure the job was not only completed to the highest quality but also to meet our very tight timeframe. Thank you so much from the Herlihy family and our newest addition Amelia 5/5 starsread more

Casey and his team were incredibly professional, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Price was very fare... and affordable compared to other quotes, with the added bonus of them being able to start the job within just a couple of weeks. I was thoroughly explained the procedure upon my quotation, and just knew upon meeting Casey...that he was the man for the job! It was obvious to me that this respectful friendly young man took great pride in his business and workmanship, and had a happy client list to prove it. Our steep gable roof wasn't a dream job, though these guys worked uncomplainingly, following through with a quality job with no corners cut. Regardless of a couple of inclement weather days, job was completed efficiently within the discussed timeframe. So we now have a fantastic shiney green colorbond roof, which not only looks amazing, is warmer & quieter with the added insulation, and has added thousands of dollars in value to our period home. We would highly recommend Casey and his team at KC ROOF PLUMBING to anyone!! (Before and after photos below)read more

Casey and his team were super professional, highly communicative and delivered quality workmanship. Their job was to... replace old terracotta tiles on the old part of our house with new colourbond roof, as well as coordinating the installation of air conditioning units. It's nice to have a leakproof roof now! Thank you. Highly recommend KC Roof Plumbingread more

We were extremely happy with the whole process, from coming out to provide the quote, the follow up measurement, the... installation and the inspection. Everyone was pleasant and punctual. The roof looks amazing and the recommendations they made in respect of the insulation and increasing the height of our roof in one section has worked well for reducing the heat coming in from the roof. We have a relatively flat roof, so not a lot of space between roof and ceiling. I have no hesitation in recommending KC Roof Plumbing Pty Ltdread more

We engaged KC Roof Plumbing to replace our dodgy old roof and also install some skylights. The guys were fantastic at... all steps of the process. When Casey came to give us a quote, he was super friendly, open and informative, and clearly explained how everything would be tackled. Once the job started, Aaron kept everything running smoothly and kept in great communication with me to update me about progress and timelines. Everyone who came to work on the job was friendly and helpful. Our roofing job was a bit complex but it was finished beautifully and to high quality. Super glad we went with KC and would recommend them to anyone.read more

KC Roof Plumbing removed my old tiles and replaced them with colourbond.They were a very professional operation and... everything ran smoothly and on time. The team showed up to do the final measurements, the plumber arrived to temporarily remove the solar panels and the guys arrived the day before to install the safety rails. The roofing team arrived each day as planned and did a fantastic job. All the rubbish was removed, the gutters were cleaned, solar panels replaced and safety rails removed the following day. They even provided a truck to remove the old tiles rather than a skip to protect the paved driveway. All arranged by KC with no fuss. A great team and a very pleased customer. Thanks to you all.read more

Highly recommend! Casey from KC Roof Plumbing was prompt, professional and personable. Everything from our initial... meeting to the delivery of materials & timeline of works happened exactly as planned with no delays. The tradies who completed our new roof were also very friendly, respectful nice guys. They worked in pretty undesirable wet conditions to get the job done. Most importantly the roof looks great, it’s given our Victorian cottage a new lease on life and was achieved for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be asking for KC Roofing back when we do our extension.read more
