1. Looks Fantastic

With its clean, crisp lines, COLORBOND® steel looks great from both sides of the fence (unlike a timber paling fence). Colorbond fences and gates are designed to have a clean simple look from both sides. This is a clear difference to using a timber fence which generally only looks good from one side.

2. Wide range of designer colours 

With COLORBOND® you are spoilt for choice when it comes to colours. There are over 22 colours that you can choose from.- This will mean you be sure to find something that will match and compliment the rest of your home. Particularly the most visible features such as roofing, gutters and garages.

3. Designed to last 

COLORBOND® steel is made to last! For example: it won’t rot or be eaten away by termites. The material can withstand extreme weather conditions that Australia is known for. It also won’t burn. In fact, testing by the CSIRO and the Bushfire Co-operative Council shows a steel fence can help protect your property during a bushfire. It is also manufactured to stand the test of time. The proof is in more than 30 years of testing by BlueScope Steel in all sorts of weather. You know you are in good hands with their products.  

4. Easy to Clean and Maintain

Once it’s up, you can sit back and relax. The only tasks that we recommend is to keep an eye on the bottom of the fence to ensure it’s clear of soil and garden debris, and give the whole fence a wash down every now and then. Because it’s COLORBOND® steel, you won’t be repainting it every couple of years, nor will you have to nail palings back on.  

5. Very Secure and private 

All COLORBOND® fences are created without no vertical gaps visible for prying eyes, a fence made from steel is a fantastic choice for a privacy screen and secure barrier. Your home is your haven. Another positive is that there are no foot holds that can make it easy for trespassers to climb up and enter your property. This will also ensure the safety of your children as they can’t climb out.

It’s a great choice for the environment 

Steel is a 100 percent recyclable material. Also, today’s modular steel fencing systems generate very little scrap during installation. Made and backed by Australian owned BlueScope For your peace of mind, BlueScope Steel guarantees the performance of fencing made from COLORBOND® steel with a 10 year warranty on posts, rail and infill sheets.  

Conclusion: Make sure it’s genuine COLORBOND® steel 

There are other pre-painted steel fences out there that look similar, but don’t necessarily perform the same. Don’t be fooled. Choose the best – and make sure you get your Colorbond fence in Perth installed by a professional.

4. Security Due to its strength, steel can be used as a security fence, and is popular for residential properties and semi-high security situations.

5. Fire resistant According to ELVAL, Aluminium is resistant to fire and will not burn. Most Aluminium alloys have a melting point between 600 and 660 degrees Celsius. Therefore when aluminium is exposed to a prolonged fire environment it will begin to melt (not burn), provided that the metal’s temperature passes the melting point.

6. Strength The strength of aluminium protects the fence from damage due to inclement weather, like high winds or potential man-made destruction.

7. Inexpensive Aluminium is an inexpensive alternative to materials like steel or iron. This makes it extremely great value, also considering that it has high durability – it will last you many years.

8. Lightweight Aluminium is an extremely light alloy – being lighter than wood or steel. The light-weight makes it easy to install or replace in case of damage. 

9. Rust resistance Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it the perfect option for most people who need fencing outdoors and especially those who live near the sea.

10. Eco-friendly The production of aluminium is one the most environmentally friendly processes across the metals and mining industry. Aluminium can be endlessly recycled while keeping its distinctive properties. Moreover, it is used to produce energy efficient transport and construct eco-friendly buildings.
