If you’re looking to elevate the style of your home or design project, Colorbond Matt Monument might just be the finish you’ve been searching for. At True Blue Roofing, we’ve seen a significant rise in interest for this dramatic, matte-finished cladding option — and it’s easy to see why.

From modern architectural homes in Torquay to sharp commercial facades across Geelong, Matt Monument delivers on both aesthetics and durability.


What Is Colorbond Matt Monument?

Colorbond Monument® is a deep, moody charcoal with a contemporary matte finish. The Matt version softens the glare and adds a subtle texture that architects and homeowners love — especially when aiming for that sleek, designer look.

Whether used in interlocking panels, standing seam cladding, or custom flashings, Monument Matt creates stunning contrast against timber, natural stone, brickwork, and light render.


Why Choose Colorbond Matt Monument for Cladding?

Here’s why this finish is so popular among our clients:

Striking Architectural Appearance

The soft, non-reflective finish gives buildings a bold, grounded appearance that stands out without overwhelming the design.

Perfect for Coastal & Urban Homes

Colorbond steel is made to handle harsh Australian conditions — especially coastal wind, salt, and sun. That makes it ideal for homes across the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, and Greater Geelong.

Pairs Beautifully with Other Materials

Whether you’re building new or updating a facade, Matt Monument looks incredible alongside natural timbers, white weatherboards, polished concrete, recycled red bricks and corten steel.

Low Maintenance, Long Life

Backed by BlueScope Steel, you get peace of mind knowing your cladding is not only stylish but also built to last.


Project Spotlight: Torquay Residence Featuring Monument Matt

In July 2024, we completed a standout architectural cladding project in Torquay, featuring random-width interlocking panels in Colorbond Matt Monument.

Fabricated in-house at our Lara workshop, the panels created clean, sharp lines with precise 10mm express joints. The deep charcoal finish gave the home a bold, modern aesthetic that complemented the coastal setting perfectly.

“We custom-made the cladding to suit the client’s facade and worked closely with the builder to ensure every detail aligned. The results speak for themselves.”
