When you build your dream home through Arkadian Homes, you can rest assured we only use the highest quality materials in our construction.
That starts from the ground up, so it’s only natural we choose COLORBOND® steel for the roofing on all our homes.
So why do we, and so many other builders around Australia, choose COLORBOND® steel and what makes it the best?
Well basically its strong, beautiful and durable so it makes perfect sense. It’s also been tried and tested in harsh Australian conditions. Which means it continues to look fabulous year after year delivering you an outstanding long-life performance.
The beauty of a lasting impression
When first impressions mean everything, a COLORBOND® roof is designed to make a statement for any home.
You have a choice of 22 core impressive colours in the range, with an option of 6 in a premium matt finish. This gives you a roof colour that can set the tone for your whole home, plus complement your other building material choices.
It also allows you the flexibility to ‘mix and match’ colours with your choice of gutter, fascia and downpipes made from COLORBOND® steel for the perfect overall look.
But this beautiful look is also built to last. COLORBOND® is futureproofed through the exceptional durability of five layers of protection, to endure our severe Australian environment and provide long-lasting durability you can trust. The high-quality steel is coated in an industry leading enhanced corrosion-resistant Activate® technology*, then further enhanced with pre-treatment, primer and a baked-on topcoat.
Made tough, it’s then tested tough in the most challenging of Australian conditions outdoors as well as accelerated laboratory testing. COLORBOND® steel can withstand any extremes of heat, cold, dust, rain, wind and hail, and undergoes corrosion testing, durability testing, application testing along with the outdoor exposure testing.
At the end of the day, these processes guarantee your roof is built to last, but you also have the added assurance of COLORBOND® steel being backed up by a BlueScope warranty as part of some of the most robust building product warranties available.
Comfortable, sustainable and easy to maintain
There are many other benefits to choosing COLORBOND® steel for your roofing, including the thermal comfort of the specially designed Thermatech® solar reflectance technology. This has the ability to reflect more of the sun’s heat on hot, sunny days so your air conditioning costs don’t go through the roof.*
Longer lasting COLORBOND® steel also helps to create a more sustainable ‘circular economy’, with the steel itself being 100% recyclable, and it can be used as part of a compliant system in bushfire prone areas.
Maintenance is a breeze with regular washing with clean, fresh water; an easy solution for prolonging its life and beautiful looks.
Arkadian’s blanket approach to roofing
When you choose Arkadian Homes as your builder, you know you’ll be living under the very best roofing courtesy of COLORBOND® steel.
What makes this even more impressive is the fact that a 50mm insulation layer between the reflective membrane and the roof sheeting comes standard on all our homes, rather than paper layers which are typically used. This thick, anti-condensation blanket acts as a protector against mould, which is particularly effective in environments that experience large differences in internal and external temperatures.

*Results will depend on roof colour, level and location of insulation, type and location of building shape and function.
