For six decades, COLORBOND® steel has been woven into the fabric of Australian life — from the rooflines of coastal homes to the walls of urban buildings and the fences of rural landscapes. Since the first coils were produced in Australia in 1966, this iconic pre-painted steel product has helped Australians bring their visions to life, combining durability, design versatility, and long-term performance in even the harshest climates.

An Australian Icon

Designed and refined for Australian conditions, COLORBOND® steel has become synonymous with strength and enduring style. Over 60 years, its advanced coating technology and innovative finishes have made it a standout choice for roofing, walling, fencing, and more — balancing aesthetic appeal with real-world performance.

Made by You. Made by Australia.

Every COLORBOND® steel roof, wall, and structure tells a story — shaped by the people who imagined, built, and care for it. This milestone isn’t just a celebration of a product; it’s a tribute to the communities, families, builders, and designers who have trusted and championed it across generations. From humble beginnings at a production line in Port Kembla to widespread national use, this is a legacy built by Australians, for Australians.

Why It Matters

With a broad palette of colours and finishes, COLORBOND® steel offers architects, builders, and homeowners the creative freedom to shape spaces that reflect their surroundings and stand up to Australia’s diverse environment. Tested in real-world conditions and backed by robust warranties, it delivers peace of mind alongside design flexibility.

At Coil Steels, we’re proud to support this legacy by supplying premium COLORBOND® steel sheet and coil products in Classic, Matt, Metallic, and Ultra finishes, giving you the tools to design with confidence and deliver performance that lasts.

Whether you’re specifying for roofing, walling, fencing, or cladding, COLORBOND® steel continues to set the standard for colour, durability, and innovation in Australian construction.
