Sometimes we get asked about corrosion and how to avoid it. When planning a roof installation, a key thing to consider is whether your metals are compatible. Reducing the conditions that can cause corrosion will give your finished job a longer lifespan and save you headaches in the long run.

In this technical bulletin, we’ve pulled together some information that you might find useful for direct metal-on-metal compatibility as well as drainage from upper to lower surfaces.

Metal Compatability – Technical Bulletin

And don’t forget the fasteners! 

For years now, we have stocked a range of Tri-Fixx fasteners and sealants. We have found Tri-Fixx screws, rivets and washers to be high quality and they do the job every time.

Choosing the incorrect fastener can undo all your good work laying that beautiful Colorbond® roof! We have some tips to help you choose the right class of screw – and right washers – for your job.

Of course, if in doubt, drop in and see us or give us a call. We’ll be happy to help you make the right choice.
