About Us | Colorsteel® - Innovating New Zealand’s Roofing Solutions

Our story started over 40 years ago, when New Zealand Steel, New Zealand's only steel manufacturer, began making COLORSTEEL® products from rich New Zealand Ironsand. It was a world first, and a feat that required imagination, ingenuity and sheer determination. From that moment on, COLORSTEEL® has been helping New Zealanders transform their environments.

From Kiwi baches to architectural masterpieces, from small homes to commercial buildings, we do more than put roofs over people’s heads and protect them from the elements. We help create the spaces and the places where life happens, where families are raised and where memories are made, where new things are created and where old things are restored. A New Zealand way of building for a New Zealand way of life.

As New Zealand's most preferred long run steel brand, COLORSTEEL® has been used on more roofs throughout the country than any other, earning the reputation as New Zealand’s favourite roof.

COLORSTEEL® is more than just a roof and popularity for COLORSTEEL® as a solution for exterior cladding is growing, as more kiwi's discover the contemporary look it allows and the ability to integrate it with other modern materials like cedar and concrete. With barn-like forms to industrial styles, the architectural design potential with COLORSTEEL® is endless.

New Zealand has a wide range of environmental conditions - from Alpine Regions to harsh West Coast beaches, the relative shelter of the Waikato farming region to urban city suburbs. No matter where you live, COLORSTEEL® is made to protect what matters most - Learn more about our product solutions.

COLORSTEEL® also offers a wide range of colours inspired by the beautiful and diverse landscape we call home - New Zealand. From classic, timeless shades to modern and on-trend tones, we've got you covered - View Colour Range.

With numerous test sites around the country, COLORSTEEL® undergoes intense, long-term exposure testing, to ensure maximum colour performance and durability, ensuring its looks it best for years to come.

But as New Zealanders lives change, so do we. Driven by a desire to create better, stronger and more beautiful every day, we are constantly building on our foundation of practical knowledge, experience and understanding to think differently and deliver intelligent solutions for real applications.
