BlueScope Steel has developed a new roofing product, Colorbond Coolmax steel in the colour Whitehaven. Thanks to its higher solar reflectance, Colorbond Coolmax steel in Whitehaven can help to reduce cooling energy costs of a building by up to 7.5% compared to Colorbond steel in the colour Surfmist.
By maximizing the thermal performance of a building and helping to reduce the ongoing cooling energy costs, a roof made from Colorbond Coolmax steel can pay back the initial investment premium within five years compared to Colorbond steel in Surfmist and Zincalume steel.
