  • Metal roofs can last up to 60 years, are 100% recyclable, help reduce your carbon footprint, and are available in a wide range of colors to suit your style.
  • Your roof space can reach temperatures exceeding 60°C—installing insulation significantly reduces heat transfer, keeping your home cooler and more energy-efficient.
  • Installing a whirlybird is a cost-effective way to passively cool your home by improving airflow and reducing trapped heat.
  • Adding a skylight not only floods dark areas of your home with natural light but also helps reduce your electricity bills by cutting the need for artificial lighting.
  • Southeast Queensland and the central coast of NSW are hotspots for Australia’s most damaging storms, often causing significant property damage.
  • Severe storms in Australia cause more damage annually, as measured by insurance costs, than cyclones, earthquakes, floods, or bushfires.
  • Did you know hailstones larger than cricket balls have been recorded in Australia? These massive ice formations are a powerful reminder of storm intensity.
  • Australia’s first recorded storm disaster dates back to 1622, when a shipwreck marked the beginning of documented extreme weather events.
  • Hailstones form in thunderstorms with strong updrafts, where frozen raindrops grow as they collect smaller cloud droplets that freeze upon contact.
