Premium Klip-Lok Roofing in Melbourne for High-End Builds, Commercial Projects & Medium-Density Developments

Do you have a Klip-Lok roofing project in Melbourne that needs to be installed perfectly and want to learn a little more about the product? You’re in the right place. At KC Roof Plumbing, we specialise in metal roofing and concealed-fix systems for projects where precision, performance, and presentation matter. We’ve been in operation for almost 13 years, known for top-tier work on large architectural homes, complex commercial builds, and medium-density projects across Melbourne. Let’s learn a little bit about this product, hey?

Klip-Lok 700 is one of the most advanced concealed-fix roofing systems available — made for modern architectural designs and large-scale builds of any genre where you want a sound, clean, streamlined look without a single screw in sight. We work with COLORBOND® Klip-Lok roofing across Melbourne’s most demanding commercial and architectural projects, delivering weatherproof, low-maintenance roofs that stay tight and true for decades.

Why is Klip-Lok 700 low maintenance compared to other profiles on the market?

The design of the profile is extremely strong compared to your custom-orb and trim-deck profiles and can therefore span further and take a lot more to dent when people that are not trained to walk on a roof come up there to work on plant, solar and plumbing works so you as a builder are better off not paying variation to replace dented sheets down the track.

We’re at the top of the game for concealed-fix roofing in Melbourne — because our quality, installation, processes and compliance aren’t negotiable.

Klip-Lok Roofing for Architectural Builds

When the brief calls for seamless lines and technical accuracy, Klip-Lok roofing systems deliver. Designed specifically for low-pitch and architectural roofing applications, Klip-Lok combines concealed fixing with high structural performance, giving architects and designers freedom to do what they do best — without losing durability or watertightness.

Our team has plenty of experience installing Klip-Lok as part of high-end architectural roofing projects. We specialise in precise installs, like COLORBOND Klip-Lok 700 0.48 BMT for longer spans — a profile ideal for low-pitch roofs (as low as 1° pitch) and complex architectural detailing. Whether your design features large roof expanses or is limited by roof heights, our team knows how to make Klip-Lok roofing work flawlessly with your design — not against it.

We regularly work with the Klip-Lok 700 profile in both .42 & .48 BMT variants, understanding where each performs best based on pitch and span. For large architectural home builds in metro Melbourne or outer Melbourne, we deliver concealed-fix systems that bring both strength, compliance and sophistication to every project.

Klip-Lok Roofing for Commercial & Medium-Density Projects in Melbourne

Our work in large commercial roofing and medium-density developments sets us apart. Klip-Lok roofing just makes sense in Melbourne’s wet conditions, large industrial areas, and growing suburbs, offering unmatched warranty and maintenance periods. We recommend it for high-traffic commercial environments, industrial buildings, and complex, low-pitch roof geometries.

Because the Klip-Lok profile is secured with concealed clips rather than exposed fasteners, there’s no risk of water ingress through screw points — making it one of the most reliable roofing systems Melbourne has to offer. It’s the go-to system for large-scale roofs where performance, expansion tolerance, structural integrity, and minimal maintenance are essential.

As the Klip-Lok roofing installers Melbourne trusts for high-spec builds, we handle every stage of the process, from early-stage design to suit ever-changing compliance needs, material selection to on-site installation and final QA inspection through a seamless process. The result? A crisp, consistent finish that meets every specification and performs brilliantly in our unpredictable weather.

Klip-Lock Goes by Many Names, but It’s All the Same

Klip Lock can have different names depending on the supplier you purchase it from, which can be confusing. As long as it is Bluescope metal, the following Klip Lock names all mean the same. Keep in mind that each supplier often has its own unique profile, design, and clip. Main supplier and Kliplock names below:

  • Apdeck 700 = Apex Building Products as the supplier
  • Hi-Strength Kliplock 700 = Lysaght as the supplier
  • Kliplock Classic 700 = Lysaght as the supplier
  • Metlock 700 = Metroll as the supplier
  • Speed Deck 700 = Strammit as the supplier

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Klip-Lok roofing and how does it work?

Klip-Lok (sometimes spelled Clip Lock) is a concealed-fix roofing system where each panel is locked into place with clips rather than screws. This eliminates exposed fasteners, reducing maintenance and preventing water leaks.

Do you install Klip-Lok 406?

Klip-Lok 406 is an old profile and isn’t used as often as it once was. The 406 profile was exceptionally popular when it first came out, and many architects still naturally state this as the profile when they really mean 700. Our team will communicate with your architect and project manager to ensure the right profile is ordered and installed.

Is Klip-Lok suitable for low-pitch roofs in Melbourne?

Yes. Klip-Lok is engineered for low-pitch applications — some profiles like Klip-Lok 700 CLASSIC® and Klip-Lok 406 can be used on roofs with as little as a 1°–2° pitch, depending on design and BMT requirements.

Why choose concealed-fix metal roofing over exposed fasteners?

Concealed-fix systems offer a cleaner architectural finish and superior weatherproofing, making them ideal for long-span roofs, large commercial builds, and premium architectural homes.

Is Klip-Lok roofing suitable for commercial buildings in Melbourne?

Absolutely. It’s widely used in commercial, industrial, and multi-residential developments due to its strength, span capacity, and watertight performance — especially on near-flat roof planes.

How long does a Klip-Lok roofing installation take?

Timeframes vary based on roof size and complexity, but our process is efficient and meticulously managed to align with your project schedule. We ensure it installs as quickly as other standard products.

KC Roof Plumbing are the specialists in Klip-Lok roofing and COLORBOND® roofing for high-end architectural and commercial projects. When precision matters, we’re the crew that gets it done — bloody well.

What does Klip-lok cost compared to other profiles?

As Klip-lock 700 is structurally very strong compared to other profiles, such as spandeck or trimdeck, and is a concealed fixed product with a clip. This means it comes with a slightly higher price tag per m2, but is far superior for the small investment due to reduced maintenance, no variations in dented sheets, and the roof’s overall longevity.

    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

    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)

    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 Plumbing

    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 Ltd

    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.

    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.

    KC were brilliant. We engaged their services for the re-roofing of a multi dwelling property and the results are amazing. They were so professional and really easy to deal with, from initial contact to final inspection. We will be using them for all of our projects going forward. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

    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.

    KC Roof Plumbing have been our preferred Roof Pluming company and have been awarded contracts for all of our builds over the past 4 years. Their professionalism by all employees and contractors on site along with the smooth progression of their works to consistently meet our scheduled timelines is exceptional and the reason why they continue to be awarded our contracts for both Metal cladding and Roof Plumbing. From small renovations through to multi-unit developments, their attention to detail is second to none which ensures that the quality of work they produce is in line with our expectations as a high-end residential builder.
