Our metal sheeting products
Our extensive range of zinc, steel, and aluminium sheets is built to tackle the unique demands of residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Here’s what makes each metal stand out:
Aluminium sheets
Aluminium is your go-to for a lightweight, durable roofing solution that excels in energy efficiency and corrosion resistance.
Ideal for modern homes and commercial spaces, aluminium sheets deliver a sleek, contemporary look without compromising on performance.
Whether you need flat sheets, stucco aluminium, or insulated panels, we’ve got the right fit for your project.
Zinc sheets
Zinc is the top choice for coastal and industrial environments, thanks to its unmatched corrosion resistance. Over time, zinc sheets develop a protective patina that not only enhances their look but also boosts longevity.
Perfect for industrial tanks, large valves, and heavy-duty applications, zinc offers a winning combo of strength and flexibility.
Stainless steel sheets
Steel is the backbone of Australian construction, and our steel roof sheets are built to last. With options like Galvabond and Zincalume, you get the strength and versatility to handle any project.
Steel’s toughness against impact and extreme weather makes it ideal for homes and commercial buildings alike. And with Colorbond sheeting, you can choose from a variety of stylish finishes to match any architectural style.
Pro tips for picking the right metal
Picking the right roofing material is all about matching it to your location, budget, and project needs. Here’s how to make the smartest choice:
- For coastal areas: We often recommend zinc roof sheets, which excel in corrosion resistance.
- For energy efficiency: Aluminium or Colorbond sheets with high reflectivity may be the most suitable solution.

Frequently asked questions
H3: What is the difference between zinc, steel, and aluminium roof sheets?
There are several differences between zinc, steel and aluminium sheets when it comes to roofing:
Zinc roof sheets:
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for coastal or industrial environments where exposure to moisture and chemicals is common.
- Longevity: Over time, zinc develops a natural patina, a protective layer that not only enhances its appearance but also extends its lifespan.
- Flexibility: Zinc is relatively flexible, which makes it suitable for complex roof designs.
Steel roof sheets:
- Strength: Steel is incredibly strong and durable, especially when coated with protective layers like Galvabond or Zincalume, which enhance its resistance to rust and weathering.
- Versatility: Steel can be used in a wide range of applications, from residential homes to large commercial buildings, due to its structural integrity.
- Cost-effectiveness: Steel is generally more affordable than zinc, offering a balance of durability and cost efficiency.
Aluminium roof sheets:
- Lightweight: Aluminium is significantly lighter than steel and zinc, making it easier to handle and install, particularly on structures where weight is a concern.
- Energy efficiency: Aluminium reflects a large portion of solar radiation, helping to keep buildings cooler and reduce energy costs in hot climates.
- Corrosion resistance: Although aluminium doesn’t develop a patina like zinc, it’s naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, especially in salty or humid environments.
The key takeaway?
Each metal has its unique strengths, and the best choice depends on your specific project requirements, environmental conditions, and budget.
How wide are Colorbond sheets?
Colorbond sheets usually measure 762 mm in width, but variations may occur based on the profile and supplier.
What are the benefits of an aluminium sheet for roofing?
Aluminium roofing sheets stand out for being lightweight, rust-resistant, and energy-efficient, making them a top choice for a range of residential and commercial uses.
How long do metal roof sheets last?
Metal roof sheets, whether zinc, steel, or aluminium, can last 40 to 70 years. Zinc roofs develop a protective layer that enhances longevity, while steel and aluminium roofs are built to withstand the elements with minimal upkeep.
Are metal roof sheets energy-efficient?
Absolutely. Metal roof sheets, especially aluminium and coated steel, are highly reflective, reducing solar heat gain and cutting down cooling costs. Pair them with good insulation, and your building’s energy efficiency will soar.
How do I maintain metal roof sheets?
Metal roof sheets are favoured for their low maintenance. A regular clean-up to clear debris, plus periodic checks for damage or corrosion, usually does the trick. Keep an eye on fasteners and sealants to ensure your roof stays in prime condition.
Can metal roof sheets be installed over existing roofing?
Often, yes. Installing metal roof sheets over an existing roof can save time and money. However, the condition of the current roof and local codes will determine if this option is viable.
Always consult a professional to ensure it’s the right choice for your project.
