Balancing energy efficiency with climate friendly comfort is a tall order. So it’s a good idea to start at the top. Choose a roof made from new COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® solar reflectance technology. It acts like extra insulation, reflecting more of the sun’s summer heat for a cooler roof and more comfortable home.

 

In moderate to hot climates, compared to materials of equivalent colour with low solar reflectance, it can reduce a home’s annual cooling energy consumption by up to 20%*.

 

And, while you’re turning down the air conditioning you can turn up the style.  Until now if you wanted a roof designed for energy efficiency your colour choice was limited to lighter colours. Now, thanks to new Thermatech® solar reflectance technology, even darker colours in the standard COLORBOND® steel pallet are more thermally efficient. Some have doubled their solar reflectance. Helping you save energy while letting you choose from 20 beautiful contemporary COLORBOND® steel colours. Discover more at www.colorbond.com/thermatech/
