Cooler, more energy-efficient buildings make financial as well as environmental sense, so roofing material choice is critical. Rising energy costs are a concern for most commercial and industrial building owners and tenants.

It’s reassuring to know that a roof made from Colorbond Coolmax steel in Whitehaven could help reduce the annual cooling energy costs of a building by up to 7.5% compared to Colorbond steel in Surfmist.

By maximizing the thermal performance of a building and helping to reduce the ongoing cooling energy costs, a roof made from Colorbond Coolmax steel can pay back the initial investment premium within five years compared to Colorbond steel in Surfmist and Zincalume steel.
