We've received indicative costing for our new build, and now have to find ways to significantly trim costs. I'm not sure how much saving is possible, but logically using such panels could save on trusses, and labour involved in constructing a multi layered traditional metal roof. When I mentioned it to my builder, he flatly refused such an idea, saying that when the Colorbond sheets start to corrode, we'll have to take off the entire roof to replace it... I don't see it being such a big problem. After all, it's going to take years, and replacement will be a planned thing and can be organised efficiently and quickly. Have I forgotten to consider other major potential problems? Kevin I have a bad experience with Bondor. I had 2 packs delivered to my home & was not ready to use them. Left them in delivered packs. When I opened them, the straps had damaged the top panel & because I didn't report the problem, they won't honour their responsibility. Only small amount to them but after paying $12k for the roofing, I am not happy & willing to tell everybody what a nasty company they are. Look at other companies. Aussi Corro - Aussi Panels is one. I am in Victoria & never dealt with Bondor. Only through Metroll who were as helpful as they could be.
