Benefits Of COLORSTEEL® 

Here are some of the reasons why COLORSTEEL® is Stratco New Zealand's preferred choice for pre-painted steel:

Easy To Maintain
COLORSTEEL® not only looks good, but it also protects the places we live, work and play with minimal maintenance. The rain washing does most of the work! When your COLORSTEEL® products aren't getting washed by the rain, a simple wash with a soft brush and detergent will do the job. How easy is that?

Highly Durable
COLORSTEEL® is made from high quality grade steel, manufactured in New Zealand by New Zealand Steel, New Zealand's only steel manufacturer. Designed, rigorously tested and approved for New Zealand's unique environmental conditions, COLORSTEEL® solutions are built to withstand even the harshest New Zealand weather. 

COLORSTEEL® is finished with five layers of protection, including a metal coating with enhanced corrosion and chipping resistance. Whether you’re faced with strong sun, relentless rain, wind & snow, atmospheric salt or even geothermal conditions, COLORSTEEL® offer resilient solutions for your projects.

COLORSTEEL® Finish & Colour
All COLORSTEEL® products undergo intense, long-term exposure testing to ensure long-lasting colour performance and durability.

COLORSTEEL® offers a range of painted finishes, including the popular Classic Gloss Finish, used on NZ homes for generations, with some of the top performers available in Lower Gloss - a contemporary finish with a subtler sheen than our traditional classic finish and for something unique and special, the innovative and premium Matte range.

Rest assured, product performance is not impacted by your choice of colour or finish. COLORSTEEL® product warranties relate to your project's environmental climatic conditions.

Choosing the right colour is an important decision and can sometimes be hard to visualise. When selecting your colour and finish, there's no substitution for the real things. Order genuine COLORSTEEL® samples, delivered straight to your door, helping you design your home's aesthetic from the outside in with ease. (https://www.colorsteel.co.nz/products/colours/)

COLORSTEEL® you can also perfectly match your gutters and fascia to your roofing, walling and even your shed, keeping the whole exterior of the home cohesive and complementary.

Thermal Properties
Solar reflective, but also lightweight, COLORSTEEL® roofing reflects the sun’s heat to help keep your home or building cool throughout summer. Selecting darker colours can help retain heat in winter, the choice is yours.

Speed of Installation
COLORSTEEL® sheets are simple to install. Whether you're using COLORSTEEL® for your shed, roof or fence, experienced installers can save time on installation.  For example, laying tiles on a roof is far more time consuming than installing COLORSTEEL® roof sheets.

Minimal Roof Pitch
COLORSTEEL® roofing panels are perfect for modern New Zealand homes with a gentle roof pitch. 

Sustainability
COLORSTEEL® is recyclable! It is also made using some recycled material, making COLORSTEEL® a great option for anyone wanting to minimise their impact on the environment.
