New Roof Colour Choices

When it comes to changing the colour of your roof we recommend you consider either:


 

  • The colour of the rest of the house that the roof needs to fit in with

 

OR

 

  • The new colour scheme you want to update the house with


 

You can select colours from the Globalcote Roof Colour Chart or equivalent Colorbond Colour Chart that are available.


Our JMZ Drive Past list is also available to provide assistance in making your choice by viewing past customer choices.


Factors to consider when choosing a roof colour

These are some of the influences to take into account when choosing your roof colour:

  • Building/house structure
  • Surroundings of your property
  • Current renovation trends

 

If you are not considering any exterior painting work to your home and purely doing a roof restoration, then choice of colour should always compliment the other exterior colours of your home.


One of the most common colour combinations that work best together is greys/off whites.


It is also a known factor that darker colours attract heat and lighter colours detract heat. 


With the Globalcote Heat Reflective Coatings, it is now possible to have darker colours reflect heat and assist with cooling of your home. Read more about how a roof restoration can make your house cooler here.


How to test the colour before choosing it for your home

 

  • Do a drive by of roofs which have been previously painted by JMZ. This will give you an idea of colour choices on a larger scale and also the surroundings of the building.
  • Contact the manufacturer Globalcote to purchase a sample pot of available colours.
  • Narrow down your choice of colour and ask the team at JMZ to provide a couple of sample tiles painted in the colour/s you are considering for your roof.
