There is no way colorbond is dearer than tiles if u list out the actual work been require for each. But somehow some builders make it an upgrade item. That's incorrect. A lot more tie-down is required for metal roofs. This is why they are more expensive. Re: Colorbond roof 19Apr 18, 2019 10:11 am Buildingindoreen I heard back from our builder today. It’s going o be an extra $4k to have the flat tiles as opposed to the curved in order to meet our estate’s design guidelines. Still prefer this to $8k for Colorbond! Our builder is charging us $5 per sqm to upgrade to bristille classic similar to this. I think it will cost us around $2k in total.

A lot more tie-down is required for metal roofs. This is why they are more expensive. It's correct for my builder. He wanted to charge me 1.8k more for std concrete tiles in lieu of bluescope colorbond. But mine is a small builder. My suspicion is volume builder must get crazy large rebate to use concrete tiles. Hence they promote tiles and when customers want colorbond they mark it up. Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10187 You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 17657 Hi all, Our boundary perimeter fences need replacing (3 sides). From everyone's experience, what would you install? Timber lapped and capped OR colorbond? Thank you. 0 2864 |
