Renowned for durability and performance, for over 40 years we have been producing quality roofing solutions in New Zealand for New Zealand. 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.

We're excited to announce the next generation of COLORSTEEL® - combining the exceptional quality and consistency you know and love with groundbreaking patented ACTIVATE™ technology.

What is Activate™ Technology?

Our new and patent-protected, high-performance metallic coating, designed to deliver enhanced corrosion resistance, bringing the perfect blend of flexibility, strength, design, and durability to people’s lives. This innovative coating is applied to the base steel before the COLORSTEEL® paint system and in NZ, is exclusive to COLORSTEEL® and New Zealand Steel brand’s ZINCALUME®.  This clever technology significantly assists in slowing down corrosion, extending the corrosion to perforation lifespan of COLORSTEEL®​ thus enabling a sizeable step change in the warranties offered, now up to 50 years.

Up to a 50 Year Warranty

COLORSTEEL® Next Generation with Activate™ technology is a new product suitable for most New Zealand environments, providing exceptional durability and corrosion protection, from alpine regions to urban city centres. No guessing, no confusion, no wrong choices. A new prepainted roofing and cladding solution that offers a warranty of up to 50 years.
