Disadvantages of using Colorbond?
• If you decide to use Colorbond, you will be ‘locked in’ to the colour you choose. You can paint it later on down the track if you get sick of the colour but the process is very expensive because of the difficulty of trying to get the new paint to adhere to the existing bonded surface. • Colorbond attracts more heat than Zincalume.The darker the colour the more heat it will attract. You may need to consider the use of insulation to compensate. • Colorbond as a product is more expensive than Zincalume. • If you choose Colorbond, the colour schemes of the rest of your home will always be governed by colour of the roof. You will reduce your flexibilty. • The latter could become a problem when it comes to selling your home because the potential buyer may at some stage decide they want to change the colour of the house and will realize that their colour options are now extremely limited. • After a few years, the dark colours tend to fade and begin to look tired and tardy.
