Torquay Roofing Project features Colorbond MATT Random Interlocking Panels

July 12, 2024

True Blue Roofing have been working on the metal roofing and architectural wall cladding of this beautiful residence in Torquay.  Torquay is a coastal town located in Victoria, Australia, known for its beautiful beaches, surf culture, and proximity to natural attractions.

This home features Colorbond Gully Fascias, roof, barges and aprons with Colorbond MATT Monument architectural cladding on the walls.

Colorbond Gully is described on the Colorbond website as:
“Quiet warmth

Inspired by the warm and earthy tones of river clay, pebbles and stone, COLORBOND® steel in the colour Gully® is a grounded and calming colour. While mid-strength and subtle in tone, COLORBOND® steel Gully® is a versatile option for composite contemporary homes or more traditional homestead and ranch styles. Use COLORBOND® steel Gully® for roofing, walling, rainwater goods and garage doors to achieve a unified outcome that complements softer or limewashed bricks, natural stone and render coatings.”

Random interlocking panels in Colorbond MATT Monument have been used on the architectural wall cladding.  These Random interlocking panels are called so as they refer to a method of installing Colorbond steel panels on roofs or walls where the panels do not have a fixed pattern or uniform seam arrangement. Here are some key points about this type of installation:

  1. Appearance: The panels are designed to overlap in a way that does not create a predictable or repetitive pattern. This gives the installation a more natural or organic look compared to traditional linear or symmetrical panel installations.
  2. Design Flexibility: Random interlocking panels offer greater design flexibility because they can adapt to various roof shapes and architectural styles. They can create a more dynamic visual effect on the building’s exterior.
  3. Weatherproofing: Like standard Colorbond installations, these panels are engineered for durability and weather resistance. They provide a strong barrier against rain, wind, and other weather conditions, ensuring the building remains protected.
  4. Installation: Installing random interlocking panels requires skilled labor to ensure that the panels fit together seamlessly while maintaining the integrity of the weatherproofing system. Proper installation is crucial to achieve both aesthetic appeal and functional performance.
  5. Colorbond Material: Colorbond is a brand of steel manufactured by Bluescope Steel in Australia. It is known for its durability, thermal efficiency, and extensive color range. Colorbond panels can be used in a variety of applications including roofing, wall cladding, and fencing.

Overall, random interlocking panels in Colorbond offer an attractive and versatile option for architectural projects seeking a modern and visually interesting exterior finish. They combine aesthetic appeal with the practical benefits of steel, making them popular in both residential and commercial construction.

This architectural wall cladding features a 10mm express detail join with all panels being manufactured inhouse in our sheetmetal shop.  We were able to keep clean lines for window and door terminations fabricating and designing each panel to ensure a perfect finish.   All custom colorbond flashings were also fabricated inhouse by our qualified team.
