Things To Consider Before Getting A Colorbond Roof
Your new roof will need to blend in with the property’s exterior and comply with any regulations, property title requirements and local council regulations.
Here are a few things you should consider:
- How will your new roof look compared to the exterior design and landscaping of the property?
- Are you replacing your roof, and are you limited by internal structural restrictions?
- Do you want a pitched roof, flat roof or an inverted pitched roof?
- Will your new roof design be practical and easy to maintain?
- Are there any restrictive covenants or heritage overlays affecting your title?
- Are there any local council restrictions or plumbing regulations that you need to comply with?
- Have you consulted a licenced plumber?
Colorbond® Roofing Costs
Colorbond roofing is a high quality and affordable roofing solution. It does cost a bit more than a typical metal roofing system but for such a high-quality, durable product it represents fantastic value for money.
It is important to remember that your roof will keep you safe and secure from the outdoor environment for many years. We don’t recommend cutting corners when it comes to your roof as a good quality roof will last you for many, many years and add to the value of your home as well as how appealing it looks.
Gutters, Fascia and Downpipes
Alongside your new Colorbond roof, you may also need to consider gutters, fascia and downpipes. This is all part of the roofing system because runoff water will need to pass through gutters and downpipes and flow into underground drains.
Your plumber will help you design the entire roofing system. Make sure you also consider the design and colour of your gutters, fascia and downpipes so that it suits your property’s exterior and new roof.
