Colorbond Roofing

Which Colorbond roof sheet suits your roof

We stock three Colorbond roof profiles. The right one comes down to the look you want and how flat the roof is.

Colorbond corrugated roofing is the classic wave profile. It gives 762 mm of cover per sheet, is screwed through the sheet into the battens, and is listed for roof pitches down to 5 degrees.

Colorbond Trimdek has a deeper, squared rib with the same 762 mm cover. Its listing gives a minimum pitch of 2 degrees, so it suits skillion roofs, carports and extensions with very little fall.

Colorbond Metlok 700 is a concealed-fix sheet. It locks down onto Metlok 700 clips, so no screw heads show on the roof. It covers 700 mm per sheet and is listed for pitches as low as 1 degree.

Corrugated and Trimdek both come in two thicknesses. The 0.48 BMT corrugated sheet and the 0.48 BMT Trimdek sheet are the heavier gauge, recommended for exposed sites and where the roof needs more strength. The 0.42 BMT sheets are lighter and easier to carry up a ladder.

Pick your colour from the Colorbond colour chart, then order the finishing pieces in the same shade: roof flashing for ridges, barges and walls, roofing screws to suit the profile, and guttering for the eaves. Ordering it together keeps the colours consistent across the roof.

Melbourne roofers and home owners can collect from 2/1 Network Drive, Truganina, or order delivery. If you want to check lengths or quantities before you order, call (03) 9394 1400.

Colorbond roofing FAQs

Do you cut Colorbond roof sheets to length?

Yes. Every sheet in this range is cut to the length you order, so you are not trimming full lengths on the roof. Measure each run and order one sheet length per run.

What is the difference between 0.42 and 0.48 BMT?

BMT is base metal thickness, the steel under the paint. 0.48 is the thicker, heavier sheet, suited to exposed sites and longer spans. 0.42 is lighter and easier to handle on smaller jobs.

Which Colorbond profile works on a low-pitch roof?

Metlok 700 is listed for the lowest pitch of the three, at 1 degree, followed by Trimdek at 2 degrees. Corrugated is listed from 5 degrees, so it is not the sheet for a near-flat roof.

Can I pick up Colorbond roofing in Melbourne?

Yes. Order online and collect from our store at 2/1 Network Drive, Truganina, or choose delivery at checkout. You get a confirmation once the order is ready.

What colours are the sheets available in?

The sheets come in the Colorbond colour range. Compare the shades on our colour chart, then match your flashing, gutters and fascia to the roof.
