How It’s Made
Tested in the harshest Australian conditions over the last 50 years, COLORBOND® steel is far more than just ’paint on steel’.
Choose from Lysaght’s extensive range of COLORBOND® colours and steel finishes, crafted for both beauty and durability. From the classic depth of COLORBOND Monument®, to the neutral tone of Basalt COLORBOND®, and the bright finish of Surfmist COLORBOND®, each option is designed to withstand Australia’s climate.
Every colour in the COLORBOND® steel range is evaluated for solar absorptance and reflectance, optimising energy efficiency by reducing heat absorption. Guided by BlueScope’s Technical Bulletin TB 39, these colours help maintain cooler building temperatures and enhance thermal comfort. All finishes meet ASTM E 903-96 standards, ensuring quality absorptance, reflectance, and transmittance values.
For an unpainted look, Lysaght offers ZINCALUME® steel, engineered for durability and low maintenance. Explore our complete COLORBOND® colour chart to find the ideal colour and finish for your project. Refer to BlueScope’s resources for technical details on solar and thermal properties.
