How It Compares
Colorbond vs. tile.
| Attribute | Colorbond | Tile |
|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | 30 to 50 years | 50+ years, with re-pointing |
| Cost band | $$ | $ |
| Wind / hail rating | Light, takes load off the frame | Heavy, suits most pitches |
| Maintenance | Fastener and valley checks, more often near the coast | Re-bed and re-point every 15 to 20 years |
