Choosing the best colour for your Colorbond roof or metal roof depends on several factors. Colorbond comes in 22 different colours to match your home. Below are just a few factors to consider when selecting a colour for your roof.
Climate
When selecting a colour for your roof you should consider the climate of your area. Dark colours tend to absorb more heat, which can make your home warmer in hot climates. Whereas light colours on the other hand, tend to reflect more heat, which can help keep your home cooler in hot climates.
Style of Your Home
The style of your home should also be considered when choosing the best colour for your Colorbond roof. For example, a traditional home may look best with a dark, earthy colour, while a modern home may look best with a light, neutral colour. It is also important to coordinate your roof colour to the rest of your home and surroundings, such as your fence, driveway and surrounding landscape.
Surrounding Landscape
As mentioned above the surrounding landscape should be considered when choosing a colour for your roof. If your home is surrounded by a lot of trees or greenery, a green or earthy colour may be an excellent choice. If your home is surrounded by a lot of rocks or desert, a tan or beige colour may be a better choice.
Energy Efficiency
Selecting the right roofing materials and colour can help you save on your home’s energy bills. Twenty-one colours from the Colorbond Steel range (except Night-Sky) features special Thermatech Solar Reflectance Technology. This technology can reflect more of the sun’s rays and can help keep your home cooler in hot climates. Saving you expenses on home cooling systems.
Personal Preference
Ultimately, your personal preference should be the most important factor when choosing the best colour for your Colorbond roof. It’s your home, and you’ll have to live with the colour for a long time, so make sure you choose something that you love and that you’ll be happy with for years to come.
It is also a good idea to get a sample of the colour and see how it looks on your home before making a final decision.
