Why Choose Colorbond® For Your Roof
With Colorbond® roof replacement, our team at Metro Roofing Adelaide only uses materials and methods suited to local homes and building standards. Colorbond® steel is purpose-built for Australian conditions, so it has a strong balance of toughness, safety, energy efficiency, and modern style.
Strong and Weather-Resistant Roof Replacement
Colorbond® steel stands out for its resistance to the region’s extremes, from sudden downpours to scorching summers. The paint and metal layers stop rust, chipping, and fading far longer than many other roofing types.
Because we fit each sheet precisely, the risk of cracking or loosened pieces, so common in old tile roofs, is greatly reduced.
Better Bushfire Protection with Colorbond® Roofing
Bushfires are part of life in parts of the Adelaide area. Colorbond® has a proven, non-combustible profile, so it won’t ignite or let embers sneak under the metal. This is a key reason insurers and local authorities recommend Colorbond® roof replacement for bushfire-prone suburbs. The tight overlaps keep your ceiling more secure against airborne danger compared to concrete or clay tiles.
Cooler Homes with Energy-Efficient Colorbond® Roofs
Colorbond®’s solar-reflective properties help block out summer heat. When we handle your Colorbond® roof replacement, we use modern sarking and insulation systems to further shield your house. This means fewer hot spots, less reliance on aircon, and real gains in household energy efficiency.
Low-Maintenance Roofs Backed by Long Warranties
Colorbond® roofs require little more than the odd check and a simple wash-down of gutters. You won’t face cracked or shifting tiles. All our Colorbond® roof replacement work uses premium Bluescope and Metroll steel, so you get industry-leading warranties—up to 45 years on materials and solid guarantees on our workmanship.
If you want a roof that holds up, saves on headaches, and comes with solid assurances, we can deliver a tailored Colorbond® roof replacement for your home. Get in touch for a local quote and practical advice.
How to Choose Between Colorbond® and Tile Roofs
Choosing between Colorbond® and tile for roof replacement comes down to long-term value, upkeep, and how each roof suits local conditions. At Metro Roofing Adelaide, we handle only steel and metal roof replacements, so we get straight to what matters most for homeowners making this decision.
Colorbond® Roof Replacement Cost Savings
Switching to Colorbond® almost always means a lower total project cost compared to tiles. Most installations with Colorbond® run 10–15 percent less than concrete or terracotta tile options once you factor in material and labour costs.
Its lightweight design avoids expensive structural upgrades that are needed with heavy tile roofs. This means a faster, more efficient replacement, and you’ll generally be paying less to renew your roof.
Durability in Variable Conditions
Colorbond® steel is designed to last in South Australia’s weather, resisting rust, cracking, and warping far better than tiles. Our team uses BlueScope and Metroll sheets that carry long-term manufacturer warranties with no risk of tile breakage from hail or storms, and there’s no issue with rot, mould, or termite damage common to older roofs. The result is a low-maintenance roof with reliability built in, supported by our local knowledge from countless projects.
Minimal Maintenance Compared to Tiles
Tiled roofs often mean ongoing repairs for cracked, shifted, or moss-covered tiles. In contrast, Colorbond® requires only basic care, like clearing gutters and the occasional wash-down. When problems do arise, individual panels are easy to replace.
Metro Roofing Adelaide works solely with metal and Colorbond®, so we’re set up to manage replacements with efficiency and precision, giving you a strong, modern finish without years of patching and upkeep.
Improved Structural Suitability for Most Homes
Many tile roofs simply weigh too much for existing timber frames, leading to expensive reinforcement jobs. Colorbond® is around a quarter of the weight of traditional tiles, so in most replacement projects, your home’s structure doesn’t need major changes.
This light footprint shortens installation time and keeps your costs contained, something we see every week on replacements.

Colorbond® Roof Replacement for Energy Efficiency
When it comes to energy efficiency in homes, Colorbond® roof replacement makes a genuine difference. Our team at Metro Roofing Adelaide specialises solely in metal roofing, and we have seen firsthand how Colorbond® steel can reduce cooling needs and energy costs for local properties.
The unique coatings and reflective pigments on Colorbond® panels are designed to push back a large portion of the sun’s infrared heat, which keeps your home cooler even in the peak of summer.
Colorbond® Reflects Heat to Lower Cooling Costs
Colorbond®’s solar-reflective paint helps cut down internal heat build-up across hot months. Homeowners who choose the right Colorbond® colours, especially lighter shades, often see a real drop in energy bills. A new Colorbond® roof replacement is a practical step towards minimising reliance on air conditioning.
Modern Colorbond® Roofing Improves Energy Efficiency
Ranges like Colorbond® Coolmax and Ultra are engineered for extra thermal performance. Our experience with these products shows they can make surfaces meaningfully cooler than standard metal roofing. For locals interested in energy-conscious upgrades, these options can offer direct benefits.
Roof Replacement Supports Better Insulation and Ventilation
Energy savings don’t stop with reflective steel. We recommend pairing Colorbond® roof replacement with well-fitted insulation and sarking. This combination delivers improved comfort all year and helps meet Adelaide’s current energy standards, future-proofing your property.
The Right Roof Profile Can Boost Energy Savings
The profile you choose, whether Trimdek, Klip-lok, or Corrugated, matters for more than looks. Some designs encourage better airflow or limit heat transfer, making a noticeable difference in overall energy performance.
We’ll walk you through the options so your new Colorbond® roof replacement achieves real-world energy gains.

How We Deal With Colorbond® Roof Replacement
Replacing your roof is a big decision, so we make our process simple and straightforward. Here’s how we work with homeowners to ensure safe, lasting results.
Checking Roof Structure
Our first step is a careful inspection. This means we look over your current roof, both outside and inside the roof space, to check if the framing and structure are solid. We assess for any water damage, signs of sagging, or other issues that could affect your new Colorbond® roof.
Starting the Roof Replacement
If your structure is good, we get ready to remove the old roof. For many, this means taking off heavy tiles and clearing old insulation or battens.
We then fit new insulation and prepare everything for your new Colorbond® sheeting, making sure each step follows building standards. This keeps your home protected and energy efficient for years to come.
Installing Your New Colorbond® Roof
With the structure ready, we start installing your new Colorbond® sheeting, making sure every sheet is properly aligned and securely fixed. We work carefully to seal edges and joints, helping guard against water ingress and wind.
Final Checks and Clean Up
After installation, we inspect the roof for quality and safety, including flashings and guttering. We remove all old materials and tidy up the site, leaving your property clean and your new roof ready to face the weather.
