Tips to Keep Your Metal Roof in Top Shape

Metal roofs are known to deteriorate over time from fading, oxidisation or even rust. One of the biggest contributors is Queensland’s harsh weather conditions.


You can help keep on top of this by doing the following:


 

  • Keep your roof clean – make sure it’s free of leaves or other objects that could impact it over time.
  • Get your roof inspected at regular intervals – every 2-3 years is recommended.
  • If restoring your roof – use well established companies that are Licensed with the Building Authorities and who use high quality products to seal the roof.

 

It’s important to follow these tips as it prolongs the life and integrity of your roof. All roofs need to be maintained regardless if they are metal, tiled or terracotta. A tiled or terracotta roof may need to be inspected more frequently, as issues such as cracked roof tiles are common from building and ground movement.


Overall to keep your roof in the best shape possible, an inspection should be carried out on a metal roof every 2-3 years and a restoration at 10-15 year intervals.

What Are the Best Roof Colours for Ipswich Homes?

By Rebecca JMZ • March 6, 2026
Choosing a roof colour isn’t just about what looks good. In Ipswich, it can also impact how hot your home gets, how long the coating lasts, and how well your roof handles storm season. So how do you pick the right colour — one that’s both beautiful and practical? Understanding Ipswich’s Climate and Its Impact on Colour Ipswich homes face a mix of harsh elements: Intense sunlight and UV radiation High summer heat - Seasonal storms and heavy rain Airborne dust and debris Dark roofs tend to absorb more heat, which can raise internal temperatures. They also fade faster under UV exposure. Lighter roofs reflect more sunlight, keeping your home cooler and helping the coating last longer. Popular Roof Colours in Ipswich Globalcote colour options for Ipswich homeowners: Surfmist: Bright, clean, and one of the highest for heat reflection Shale Grey: Modern and versatile with good solar performance Evening Haze: Soft and neutral with broad street appeal Dune: An earthy tone that blends well with older and newer homes Windspray: Subtle and stylish, suitable for various house styles All these colours are available in Globalcote’s Infracote (heat reflective) and Elastacote (flexible membrane) roof coating systems.
