Caloundra can experience some extreme weather conditions. Particularly the combination of wind, hail, rain, and the Sunshine Coast salt air make it difficult to maintain your property fence throughout the year. Poor maintenance can result in a weaker fence.
If you want to improve your current fence, consider COLORBOND fencing for your Caloundra property. Keep reading to discover why it’s ideal for so many Sunshine Coast homes.
What is COLORBOND?
Colorbond fences are made from high-quality steel. It is designed exclusively for Australian climates and is available in 14 colours and three sheet profiles – MINISCREEN, METLINE, and TRIMCLAD to suit a wide range of characteristics and styles for your Caloundra home.
What are the Advantages of using COLORBOND Fencing?
There are a number of advantages when installing COLORBOND fencing. Here are some of them listed:
1. Rot and Rust Resistant
Because the rails are made of high-quality BlueScope steel, you won’t have to worry about the fence being saturated by and rain during the wet season, as opposed to timber fences, which encourage termites and warp easily. They will not rust or degrade, unlike untreated iron or chain fencing. These fences are heat and fire resistant, making them a suitable solution for bushfire-prone locations during the summer.
2. Maintenance-Free
COLORBOND fences are very simple to maintain. Most of us lead busy lives and try our hardest to keep up with property maintenance, so it can be tough to find time to care for our fences. That’s why you’ll enjoy the little maintenance needed with a COLORBOND fence.
3. Multiple Applications and Aesthetic Appeal
Not all fences are created equal. Unlike conventional fences, COLORBOND may be installed on any property boundary. It will look great in front of your home, out the back or all the way round your house. This style of fence also has no vertical gaps, footholds, or loose palings, giving your property a smooth, stylish appearance. In addition to its seamless finish, this COLORBOND fencing suits the design of any property because it comes in a variety of colours and profiles.
4. Enjoy a 10 year Warranty
Even with proper maintenance, some fences may deteriorate faster than expected, particularly when installed in Caloundra’s coastal environment. BlueScope Metroll understands their clients’ needs, which is why they provide a ten-year warranty with each purchase of COLORBOND fencing. Get piece of mind and value for money.
Are there Disadvantages of Installing COLORBOND Fencing?
Whilst there are lots of advantages and reasons to install COLORBOND fencing at your Caloundra house, there are two disadvantages you should know about before making your final decision.
1. Cost
The cost of COLORBOND fencing is more per meter than traditional timber fences, but the benefits of less maintenance, quick installation and choices in colours and profiles might outweigh the additional cost of COLORBOND fencing for your home.
2. Hail Damage
Caloundra experiences some of the Sunshine Coast’s most damaging hailstorms. Since COLORBOND fencing panels are constructed from metal, they can be damaged in heavy hailstorms. From our experience, the hail will need to be pretty big and hit the fence at the correct angle to cause significant damage. You can replace individual panels that have been damaged quiet easily.
