5 Reasons to Have Your Roof Restored Before Installing Solar Panels

There is no point in doing a job, only to find out you should have completed another step first. Before you have that moment, here are five reasons to get your roof restored before you have solar panels installed:


1. Your roof needs to be in good condition before solar panels are installed.
2. A damaged roof will have trouble supporting weight of the panels.
3. It’s easier to have restoration done without panels been on.
4. A heat reflective roof membrane can help keep energy costs down and you’ll get more bang for your buck from solar            panels.
5. Safer area for solar installers to work on.


So, if you’re looking to makeover your roof with a restoration and solar panels, give JMZ a call on 1300 760 076. We can even recommend some excellent solar panel installers.

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. Quick Answer: What Roof Colours Work Best in Ipswich? Lighter, UV-stable colours like Surfmist, Shale Grey, and Dune work best in Ipswich. They reflect more heat and resist fading, making them ideal for Queensland homes. Roof Painting That Lasts Roof painting in Ipswich isn’t just cosmetic.
