Keeping Your Steel Strong: Maintenance Tips for Steel Roof



Maintaining the strength and appearance of COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® steel is essential to protect your investment. Regularly washing with water is an easy way to keep these materials in top condition. While roof cladding that is automatically washed by rainwater does not require maintenance, wall cladding under eaves, garage doors, and eave gutters needs periodic cleaning.

For areas not regularly exposed to rainwater, rinse with a hose at least every six months. In areas with high levels of industrial fallout or marine salt spray, more frequent rinsing may be necessary.

If regular maintenance does not remove all dirt from the paint surface, follow this process:

  1. Clean the surface using warm water with a mild solution of pure soap or gentle, non-abrasive kitchen detergent.
  2. Apply the solution gently using a sponge, soft cloth, or soft-bristled nylon brush to avoid creating shiny patches.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual detergent.
  4. Avoid using abrasive or solvent-based cleaners, such as turps, petrol, kerosene, or paint thinners, on COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel.

By following these care and maintenance instructions, you can ensure that your building components made of COLORBOND® pre-painted steel and ZINCALUME® steel will provide many years of low-maintenance service.
