Zincalume vs Colorbond

Is ZINCALUME® a cheaper product?

Yes & No... The colour option of ZINCALUME® is cheaper when it comes to price but not when it comes to quality. ZINCALUME® is a product of BlueScope Galzanised Steel that is made to last. It is lightweight, versatile and durable and comes with the standard BlueScope Steel warranty.

It looks boring!

ZINCALUME® steel isn't just your raw form of galzanised steel, it is trated with an advanced coating tecnology that comprises 55% aluminium, 43.5% zinc and 1.5% silicon. Althought it looks boring, this coating provides a superior surface for painting so you have a endless options when it comes to a colour that suits your garden shed location.

So what is COLORBOND®?

You cant make COLORBOND® without first starting with ZINCALUME®! So take the durable and anti corrosion elemts of ZINCALUME® and bake a polyester primer onto the surface.  Then apply the top coat - a specially developed, exterior grade paint that is baked on to ensure maximum resistance to chipping, peeling and cracking. There you have it, COLORBOND® galzanised steel from BlueScope!

It's your choice...

So when you purchase a garden shed be sure to consider if ZINCALUME® or COLORBOND® is right for you. You'll find our garden sheds display prices for COLORBOND® but if you select ZINCALUME® the price will reduce accordingly for each product.
