And it’s for this reason that COLORBOND® steel is assessed at outdoor sites around Australia, as well as in accelerated laboratory testing. COLORBOND® steel undergoes corrosion testing, durability testing, application testing (to ensure it can be used in a wide range of building and manufacturing applications, and with all the common building products used across the industry) and outdoor exposure testing.
When you choose COLORBOND® steel, you’re also getting the support of BlueScope, one of Australia’s largest manufacturers. That’s why COLORBOND® steel’s renowned durability is backed up by some of the most robust building product warranties for eligible applicants.
