Product: COLORSTEEL® Maxam

Profile: 0.55 Corrugate & 0.55 Styleline

Colour: Thunder Grey

Additional: Dimond Durolite Clear Sheets, Skylights, Spouting, Garage Roof

The Challenge

This double-skin roof (corrugate under tile) was ready for a full refresh — but the project required careful coordination from day one. The homeowners had a few special requests:

  • They wanted to keep the existing grey clear roofing sheets, which meant we needed to safely remove them without damage.
  • They planned to paint the purlins and the wall areas behind new apron flashings themselves, so timing had to be spot on.

Our Solution

We delivered a full re-roof using premium COLORSTEEL® Maxam materials — a reliable choice for Auckland’s coastal environment. Here’s what we did:

  • Installed 0.55 Corrugate COLORSTEEL® Maxam for the main roof, with 0.55 Styleline for the lower-pitched areas
  • Supplied and installed two new non-opening skylights, including flashings colour-matched to Thunder Grey framing
  • Re-roofed the garage using matching Dimond Corrugate COLORSTEEL® Maxam
  • Installed Colorsteel Quarter Round spouting and new downpipes on the garage
  • Built custom apron flashings under wall junctions and replaced weatherboards as needed
  • Safely removed clear sheets so the client could retain them and access the purlins for painting
  • Installed new clear sheets to maintain natural light and improve the roof’s functionality

Our strong communication with the homeowners and their painting service provider meant we were able to coordinate timing precisely — giving them the access they needed to complete their painting before we moved on with the next steps.
