Why COLORBOND Steel is so popular on Australian homes

Evolving into one of the world’s most advanced building materials over the past 45 years, COLORBOND® steel has become Australia’s single most popular roofing brand. The reasons for its popularity are based in its sleek and elegant looks as well as its durability and thermal performance.

An iconic Australian brand known for its durability and design flexibility.

COLORBOND® steel is an iconic brand that has become a household name in Australia. But not only is its name known in most Australian homes, it’s also used in part of the construction of most Australian homes.

When you mention COLORBOND® steel name most people automatically think roofing. And that’s right, COLORBOND® steel is used as a roofing material for so many homes. But COLORBOND® steel is also used in other applications around Australia’s homes because of its durability and design flexibility:

Roofing that reflects the style and needs of Australian homes
Durable and attractive exterior walling or an interior feature
Guttering that performs in all types of weather
Set and forget fencing that defines the great outdoors
Steel water-tanks available in COLORBOND® steel colours

Australia’s most popular roofing brand

COLORBOND® steel is available in a range of 22 contemporary colours, which celebrate the natural beauty of the Australian landscape. From our mountains to the outback, from our creek beds to our sand dunes, COLORBOND® steel captures the light and energy that make Australia’s colours so unique. With 22 inspired colour choices ranging from traditional to contemporary, COLORBOND® steel provides the ideal palette from which to create the desired look and feel for your home and garden.

Walling that’s beautiful to look at and easy to live with

Walling made from COLORBOND® steel provides an attractive, durable and thermally efficient alternative for modern home design. With a range of 22 beautiful colours, walling made from COLORBOND® steel gives you an ideal palette from which to colour match or co-ordinate your other external features such as roofing, guttering and rainwater tanks.

As a walling material, COLORBOND® steel provides a tough barrier to storms, hail, falling branches and bumps and knocks. And because it’s non-combustible and 100% termite proof, it’s an ideal building material that adds to the overall security and durability of your home.

Finally, because of its superior oven baked finish, and its resistance to chipping and flaking, wall cladding made from COLORBOND® steel makes a very durable, low maintenance alternative.

Guttering that works beautifully, come rain or shine

Gutters, downpipes and fascia don’t just add an attractive finish to your home. They are important components that can protect your home from serious stormwater damage. That’s why you can have peace of mind when your rainwater collection system is made from COLORBOND® steel – it’s been tested to withstand everything from drenching downpours to scorching sun for over 45 years in some of Australia’s most extreme conditions.

However, we realise that your guttering system not only has to perform well, it also has to look beautiful and add an aesthetic finishing touch to your roof and home. Our palette of 22 beautiful colours are designed to perfectly colour match your roof made from COLORBOND® steel. And because of its proven durability and low maintenance qualities, you can be sure your entire roof and guttering system will continue to perform and look attractive for years to come.

Fencing that adds privacy and minimises maintenance

Australians enjoy an enviable climate, which allows us to take advantage of a outdoor lifestyle for most of the year. More and more, we are taking the indoors out and bringing the outdoors into our homes. Modern home design is blurring the lines between where we dine, relax and entertain our friends.

Integral to this new lifestyle is the privacy we create in our back yards. Fencing that’s designed to add both security and privacy to our home allows us to expand our “sanctuary” to the very boarders of our property.

Fencing made from COLORBOND® steel is the ideal style of fencing to give our home privacy. Plus it won’t rot, warp or be eaten by termites. And because it comes in 14 designer colours to co-ordinate with your roofing, you won’t need to pick up a paint brush every couple of years to keep it looking good.

Quality steel water-tanks available in COLORBOND® steel colours

BlueScope Water offers a range of water-tanks to help with water harvesting in the suburban home or regional property. The quality steel water-tanks are made from AQUAPLATE® steel and are available in the range of COLORBOND® steel colours, allowing you to match and co-ordinate the look and feel of your back yard and garden.

AMJ completed a roof replacement at our home. This involved removal of our old asbestos roof and replacing with a new colorbond roof, guttering and insulation. They also installed a new roof over our deck using insulated paneling.We were really happy with the end product and the care the AMJ team took in all their work. The team at AMJ kept us informed throughout the planning, the job was completed really quickly and I would recommend them to anyone.

I was getting a Building and Pest inspection done on a house in Annerley I was looking at buying. Because of that storm cell that hit Annerley in 2014 I also had Dennis at A.M.J come out for a second opinion on the "tin" roof. The Building and Pest guys gave the roof the all clear, "No damage, the roof is good". Dennis actually got out the ladder, climbed up the side of the high-set Queenslander and properly inspected the roof. Two minutes, and a half dozen photo's later, he climb's back down to tell me the roof has been severely damaged by hail, and will have to be replaced. Without a proper quote, anywhere up to $30 000. Well, thank you Dennis! That would have been a very expensive mistake you helped me avoid if I had just taken the word of a very reputable, local Building and Pest company. I have contacted that company asking for a full refund! Again, thank you Dennis and A.M.J, very happy to recommend anyone to your company!! Cheers Mark @ Annerley

AMJ Metal Roofing replaced our terracotta tile roof with a new colorbond roof. Their detailed quote gave peace of mind during the entire process. AMJ covered every detail involved in carrying out this project. 5 star service throughout the entire AMJ team. We love our new roof, thank you!

These guys were very efficient with your paperwork & contract...great to deal with! We had had a number of people look at our (quite flat) roof over the years and your guys spent quite a while on the roof & said they knew what the problem was... The roof got tested with two big downpours - staff ready with buckets & sqeegees - we had no further leaks.3 works to describe AMJ? Efficient, competent, organized.You guys really know what youre doing...very well done!

AMJ was a great company to deal with. In 2011 I had the roof and guttering of my Sunnybank Hills property replaced by AMJ Metal Roofing. The new colour bond roof looked great and the job was completed with no disruption to our family and no rubbish left on site. The cost was very competitive. The roof withstood two severe hailstorms during the subsequent years with no damage or leaks.In 2017 I listed this property for sale and was required to supply a detailed independent building report which included an internal inspection of the roof. It was noted during this inspection that a small number of screws were not fixed properly into one of the batons. I rang AMJ Roofing and within 48 hours a company representative had come to the property, replaced the screws and provided certification for the work. I was very pleased with the service 6 years after the original job.

Could not recommend AMJ Metal roofing more. Their company and staff were amazing to deal with. From the first initial contact to get a quote through to the completion of the roof has been so easy. From Jenna in the office who was easy to get in contact with and replied to emails and call very fast to Nigel who quoted, Matt who checked on the work process and all the tradies just made the entire process of replacing our old roof with a new metal roof so easy. We couldn't be happier with the work that was done. All the tradies were wonderful and polite, they would let us know what was happening each day with the work and the time frame was great from start to finish the work took 4 days.I would recommend AMJ Metal roofing to everyone who needs a new roof or just maintenance. Very, very happy

Thanks for our new roof!From the moment we first contacted AMJ, and right up until the roof was completed, we knew we had made the right decision to employ their services.Nigel provided us with an extremely thorough quote and offered us some helpful advice along the way. Nigel's quote actually involved him climbing onto the roof for a detailed inspection - unlike some quotes we received from others in the industry..Dennis then took the reigns and looked after us extremely well throughout the whole asbestos removal and subsequent roof installation process, and ensured that the finished product was exactly as had been quoted and was completed to a very high standard.Shanelle at their head office was always extremely thorough when assisting us with any queries we had and was always a pleasure to speak with. We are extremely happy with our new Zincalume roof. Not only does our home look fantastic, the internal house temperature during summer was significantly reduced once the new roof and insulation had been installed.Thank you to the team at AMJ for a job well done.Matt & JasMJ Renovations

We have had a very positive experience with AMJ. From the initial consultation with their sales person (Nigel), meeting one of the directors (Alan) to explain in detail their roofing solutions, dealing with their staff (James, Craig and others) through to their helpful administration staff (Shanelle) we have had exceptional service. Their pricing was very competitive and they delivered everything they said they would, on time and kept us well informed. I highly recommend them!Dirk Witteveen - Sheldon

We had to replace our deteriorated Cement Tiled roof and AMJ won the job after researching and comparing quotes from other companies. We are thrilled with the results of our new Colourbond metal roof. Nigel quoted and answered all questions we had, Shanelle was just as helpful from the Office, Dennis and the Team were punctual, friendly, very professional and left our yard tidy. The roof was on in 2 days with zero interruption to familly life. Dennis even saved us future heartache and expense when removing the existing solar hot water tank. It was too dodgy to put back up and he co-ordinated with the Plumber for installation of a new system. I was kept up to date with photos and text messages and phone calls before, during and after the job. We rate AMJ Roofing 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend the Team to anyone requiring a roofing specialist.

Excellent from start to finish. Nigel organised the quote and was very professional and the quote was competitive. Dennis coordinated the work from delivery, managing the site and clean up. Good communication, no fuss and very responsive to questions. Very happy with our full roof replacement on a 1926 Queenslander.

Cameron was totally professional and competent. He advised us well. The speed with which the job was finished - a complete roof renewal - was just amazing. The work was done thoroughly, all rubbish was taken away speedily and the Manor red colorbond roof looks just like the advert; I stand and stare in amazement at the beauty of this new roof. I throughly recommend AMJ Metal Roofing.

Thank you so much to the AMJ Team for our new roof!It was a great experience from meeting Nigel for the quote, talking with the team in the office and having our foreman Denis overseeing the job at every stage was seemless and professional. The team went to every length to ensure we were 100% happy with the job.We would throughly recommend AMJ to anyone wanting to transform their home or business.Thanks again, Simon and Emma.

We only had our gutters replaced so our job was not as big as some that AMJ do but we were still treated the same as if we were having our whole roof replaced. they did a great job and Shanelle in the office is an absolute treasusre to deal with. Would highly recommend.
