ColorCote roofing has been protecting NZ homes and buildings for over 40 years, so we’ve been doing it better for longer. No other aluminium and steel roofing manufacturer can match our range of quality roofing substrates, all backed by a comprehensive warranty.
Our pre-painted long run roofing and cladding products AlumiGard, MagnaFlow and ZinaCore are all guaranteed for use in specific atmospheric conditions. Whether you’re building a new home or need to re-roof, ColorCote’s can guarantee the right roof for your specific location. And when it comes to colour, we have more than 40 shades, from the ever popular Greyfriars and Sandstone Grey, to bold Black, Metallic Gunmetal and bright Lazerite Blue. Relax – you’ve made the right choice.
Design, pitch & aspect
In addition to the environment, the design, pitch and aspect of the house can also dictate which ColorCote product should be used.
For example a house with a minimum pitch roof with parapets two kilometres from the surf may still require AlumiGard™.
The same house with a steeper pitched roof (which allows rainwater to wash off the worst of the salt residue) may be able to use ZinaCore™ for the roof but may need AlumiGard for the cladding.
In severe marine environments care needs to be taken with cut edges and penetrations – including screw holes – to prevent the spread of corrosion.
Products
Roofing and cladding are the largest, most obvious features of your home so they need to be durable enough to look great over the long term, no matter how demanding the environment is. That is why we developed our three-tier range of pre-painted metal roofing and cladding products. All use the latest coating technology, with the option of two paint systems, so you can find the optimal product to suit your building environment, from moderate inland to the harshest coastal, industrial or geo-thermal conditions.
ZinaCore (previously ZR8/ZRX) is the best value pre-painted aluminium and zinc coated steel roof for most sites.
Suitable for moderate climatic conditions, ZinaCore has a hot-dipped aluminium/zinc alloy coating over a steel substrate. It has an acrylic or polyester top coat baked on a polyester primer, giving an extremely durable paint system that resists UV damage and provides excellent gloss and colour retention.
AlumiGard (previously AR8/ARX) is our premium metal roofing product, designed to withstand the harshest conditions
Aluminium doesn’t rust. Suitable for use in ‘Very severe’ marine environments, right up to the waterline, or for acidic exposure in harsh industrial or geothermal areas. Under AlumiGard’s durable baked-on paint systems is the same marine grade aluminium alloy boats are made from.
The magic of magnesium in MagnaFlow (previously ZM8/ZMX) uniquely adds extra anti-corrosive protection
Designed for ‘Severe marine’, up to 100m from the coastline, the superior corrosion resistance of MagnaFlow, makes it an ideal choice for demanding coastal environments. The magnesium in the aluminium/zinc/magnesium coating ‘magically’ helps zinc flow over cut edges, sealing them against exposure which will cause corrosion.
ColourS
Match your colour to your design and environment
Whether you’re re-roofing a villa set in a tree-lined heritage-protected avenue, or you’re building an architecturally designed cutting-edge house, our range of colours will suit your needs and the style of your home.
