Highly Durable
Made from official Bluescope steel, Colorbond fences are made to last.
- Can withstand extreme weather conditions such as rain, heat, wind and hail.
- Unlike traditional wood fences, Colorbond fences will not rot, warp, flake or be eaten by termites or other pests.
- For added peace of mind, all of your Colorbond fences are covered by Bluescope’s 10-year warranty.
Fire Resistant
Fire resistance has become incredibly important in Australia. In 2005, research conducted by the Bushfire CRC and the CSIRO into the performance of residential fences in bushfires found that ‘of the different materials tested, pre-painted and metallic coated sheet steel fencing (in this case made from Colorbond® steel) performed best under all exposure conditions and in partoicular when faced with a 30-minute flame immersion test used to stimulate potential effects of an adjacent house fire, which is common during bushfire events.
Easy to Maintain
Colorbond fences are so easy to maintain! There’s no need for spending the weekend painting or staining your fence; all you need is to wash it down with a hose every six months or so to remove any cobwebs or dirt build-up.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Colorbond fences and gates have a fantastic modern and minimalistic look! They come in a variety of dark and light colours, making it easy to match your home’s style and surroundings.
If you decide to have Colorbond fencing installed, it is also important to consider the colour of your Colorbond.
