When Should You Choose COLORBOND® Ultra?
You should opt for Colorbond® Ultra in the following conditions:
- Coastal Locations: If your home or building is within 200m of breaking surf, Ultra offers better resistance to salt spray and corrosion.
- Industrial Areas: If you're in an area with high pollution or chemical exposure, Ultra provides added durability.
- Severe Weather Regions: In areas prone to heavy rain, storms, or high humidity, Ultra offers better long-term performance.
- Marine Environments: For properties near harbors, lakes, or estuaries, Ultra is recommended for superior protection.
When is Standard COLORBOND® Sufficient?
Standard Colorbond® steel is a great choice for:
- Suburban Homes located more than 200m from breaking surf
- Rural Properties where industrial or salt exposure is minimal
- General Residential & Commercial Buildings where high corrosion risk isn't a concern
