New COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® solar reflectance technology, helps make your home cooler in summer and more energy efficient.
Keeping your house cool in summer is a struggle for many Australians, due to the unrelenting heat. As is finding a long lasting, cost effective solution to the problem. Roofing is a key consideration when planning the thermal efficiency of your home. Plus, it looks great and comes in a wide range of colours to suit your taste.
Thermatech® technology is included in all 20 standard colours in the COLORBOND® steel range at no additional cost to you. When combined with standard insulation levels, COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® solar reflectance technology can help you maintain greater thermal comfort all year round, whilst using less energy. That's great news for you and the environment.
Thermatech® helps your roof and your home stay cooler in summer by reflecting more of the sun's heat and keeping it out of your home. Thermatech® absorbs less heat, protecting your roof and its supporting structure from extremes in heat. As a result, the stresses placed on your roof and its materials are reduced and your roof lasts longer.
In moderate to hot climates, compared to roofing materials of similar colour with low solar reflectance, COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® can reduce annual cooling energy consumption by up to 24%*. Discover the difference for yourself.
Cool home, comfy abode: COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® technology reflects more of the sun's heat to keep your roof and your home cooler during the hotter months.
Money saver: Thermatech® can reduce your cooling energy consumption by acting like added insulation.
Colour me happy: It's widely known that lighter colours are better at reflecting heat. Now with Thermatech®, the darker colours in the COLORBOND® steel range perform better than ever without changing their appearance. So you can choose from a wider range of colours and still enjoy a thermally efficient roof.
*Depending on level of insulation, building shape and function. Average reduction is about 5%.
