Metal Roofing Adelaide
Colorbond, Zincalume and steel roofing installation with full structural prep.
Metal roofing is the dominant new and re-roof choice in Adelaide. Colorbond steel offers a 30+ year service life with minimal maintenance, integrates with solar mounting, and weighs about a quarter of equivalent tile. The choice between Colorbond, Zincalume, and other steel finishes comes down to coastal proximity, aesthetic preference, and budget.
When you need metal roofing
- New build or major addition

Adelaide-specific considerations
Coastal suburbs within 1km of saltwater (Glenelg, Henley Beach, Semaphore, Brighton, Henley Beach South) should use Colorbond Marine grade or stainless steel fasteners to handle salt exposure. Hills properties in BAL-rated zones need bushfire-compliant profiles. Standard inland Adelaide suburbs are fine with regular Colorbond.

Common questions
Metal Roofing FAQs
$80-$140 per m2 supply and installed for Colorbond on a residential re-roof. A typical 200m2 single-storey home runs $16,000-$28,000 including strip and disposal.
Zincalume is bare aluminium-zinc coated steel - typically used where finish doesn't matter (sheds, industrial). Colorbond is Zincalume with a baked-on colour finish - residential standard. Both come from BlueScope Steel.
If battens are sound and the new metal profile is compatible, yes. Most tile-to-metal conversions require new battens because tile battens are spaced for tile width, not metal sheet profile.
