ColorCote® pre-painted steel and aluminium roofing and cladding, manufactured by Pacific Coilcoaters - a division of Fletcher Steel Limited.
ColorCote® is New Zealand’s leading brand of pre-painted steel and aluminium roofing and cladding products.
ColorCote® has been manufactured and marketed in New Zealand for more than 30 years by Pacific Coilcoaters, a division of Fletcher Steel Limited, a subsidiary of Fletcher Building Limited, New Zealand’s largest publicly-listed construction and building supplies company.
ColorCote® pre-painted metal roofing and cladding systems provide design flexibility unmatched by any other roofing or cladding material. ColorCote® can be roll-formed or pressed into a range of profiles that not only look great but are warranted to last.
It is easy to install and can be adapted to almost any design or construction concept.
It has the strength to span wide spaces with simple and lightweight support systems and can be bent or curved to suit an almost unlimited range of innovative designs and roof pitches.
The expansive ColorCote® range of colours gives homeowners a great-looking choice whatever your architectural or design taste.
There are more than 80 colours in the ColorCote® palette – natural, earth and autumn shades, pastels, bold primary colours, metallics and even black and white. If none of these colours suit, custom colours can be manufactured on request.
To ensure all ColorCote® colours and coatings are more than equal to the worst the New Zealand climate can throw at them, they are put through a rigorous testing regime at exposure sites at Muriwai Beach on the untamed west coast of the North Island and in the Auckland industrial suburb of Penrose.
There is a six-tier range of ColorCote® pre-painted metal roofing and cladding products – AR8™,ARX™, ZAM™, ZMX™, ZRX™ and ZR8™ – all using the latest coating technology. They have either a steel or aluminium substrate and each has a different level of corrosion-resistant aluminium-zinc coating, primer and top-coat depending on the environment in which it is to be used.
There are ColorCote® systems to suit all New Zealand homes. Which is best for your home is determined by your climatic environment or geographic location.
All ColorCote® roofing and cladding products come with a Pacific Coilcoaters’ written warranty. Our warranties are specific to a particular building, where it is sited, and the type of roofing and cladding used.
Pacific Coilcoaters has an on-going commitment to sustainability and continuous product and process improvement. Recent developments include fully water-based coating systems and nil-chrome systems. The company has developed processes to minimise water use with on-site cooling, recirculation and recycling processes. Fumes generated during the paint curing process are reused as fuel for the paint drying ovens, reducing the plant’s overall energy costs. Excess heat from the drying process is also used to heat the factory in winter.
All ColorCote® products are coated with paint systems which are lead and cadmium-free and suitable for rainwater collection.
All ColorCote® pre-painted steel and aluminium products are recyclable. Any scraps or old roofing material can be recycled in New Zealand.
Pacific Coilcoaters recycles or reuses all its scrap materials.
