One of the great aspects of metal roofing is its versatility to different types of roofs, including gables, windows, gutter systems, and more. Colorbond comes in light-weight sheets that are easy to cut and fashion on-site before fixing them to the roofing framework.
Your Colorbond installer can also help advise you on how the style of your home might best be suited by the colour and installation.
#1 – The Style of Your Home
The first step in tailoring your Colorbond home is to consider the architectural style of your home. Australia has a great variety of homes, including contemporary composite, classic, ranch/farmhouse, traditional, or even beach styles.

#2 – Heritage Neighbourhoods
Australia has a great tradition is of heritage homes throughout the country. It’s important that we preserve this architectural legacy from the past. As a result, your local council might have a heritage palette for you to choose the colour of your home from to match the rest of the neighbourhood.
Contact your local council to enquire if your home is in a heritage neighbourhood and what you need to do to meet those requirements.
Your Colorbond installer will also be fully aware of the local heritage colours for your neighbourhood. Ask to see the palette options for the different colours. It will help if you bring a picture of your home to best match the colour to your home’s appearance. Keep in mind, as well, the roofing colours of the rest of the neighbourhood and surrounding homes. It’s good to be a little different, but you could detract from your home’s beauty by being too different.
The good news is that Colorbond comes in dozens of colours.
#3 – Regional Considerations
Finally, different areas have different design themes. Be sure to consider this when thinking about your final decisions with Colorbond. For instance, the country has a much different architectural feel and array of common colours than the coastline and beach.
For country style homes that are surrounded by trees, particularly those with verandahs, it is common to choose a grey or green colour to match the environment. Alternately, a contrasting colour might be another consideration to highlight your home within its natural setting. For the previous example, a deep maroon colour would serve that purpose.
Again, your Colorbond installer will be able to assist in this consideration, as well.
