Ensure it's Genuine

Easy Checks:

• Make sure when you're picking your roof or wall cladding colour, it is from a branded COLORSTEEL® colour chart, brochure or physical sample. If our brand name is not shown, its not genuine COLORSTEEL®. And don't be fooled, our products don't go by any other name other than COLORSTEEL®.

• Our free pre-painted physical colour samples, have our brand name indented onto them, so there's no confusion for you.

• Ask your supplier to confirm in writing (your quote or building specification documentation) they are supplying genuine COLORSTEEL® made by New Zealand Steel®. Ensure they confirm the COLORSTEEL® product solution, gauge and colour.

Example:

Product Solution: COLORSTEEL MAXAM®, Altimate® or Dridex®

Gauge: (Typically) 0.40mm or 0.55mm

Colour: COLORSTEEL FlaxPod® 

• Once your product arrives onsite, turn over a sheet of material onto the non-coloured side. If it's genuine COLORSTEEL® you will see small black COLORSTEEL® branding. 

• Often your COLORSTEEL® product will arrive onsite with a COLORSTEEL® branded protective film on the front side (over the coloured side). 

• At the end of your project, make sure to request a copy of your COLORSTEEL® warranty from your installers or building team.
