Coolmax®
Compared to our own COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel, new COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel sets even higher
standards in thermal efficiency. A roof made from new COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel in Whitehaven™ could reduce
the annual cooling energy costs of your building by up to 7.5%1 compared to COLORBOND® steel in Surfmist®, and it can
payback your initial investment premium within 5 years2.
For an understanding of the possible savings on your particular building or for more information, visit colorbond.com/coolmaxor call 1800 022 999.
Take the heat off cooling costs
1. COLORBOND® Coolmax® steel in Whitehaven™ has a 9% higher solar reflectance than COLORBOND® steel in Surfmist®. Based on independent roof studies of the solar reflectance of roofing contained in a report by the US Environmental Protection Agency (http://www.epa.gov/hiri/resources/compendium.htm), we calculate this difference could result in cooling energy savings of up to 7.5%. Savings will vary and depend upon the level of insulation, location of air-conditioning ducts, building shape and function. 2. Based on expectation for a daytime occupied and air-conditioned single storey commercial building in BCA Climate Zone 2. COLORBOND®, ZINCALUME®, Surfmist®, Coolmax® and BlueScope are registered trade marks and Whitehaven™ is a trade mark of BlueScope Steel Limited. © 2010 BlueScope Steel Limited ABN 16 000 011 058.

Want a negative carbon footprint?Have ours.Weathertex puts sustainability and durability at the forefront of all its products. Weathertex works to ensure the raw timber for the production of its reconstituted
natural hardwood is sourced from local sawmill tailings, thinnings and sustainably
managed forests.
No old growth hardwood is ever used, so the sourcing of our timber has minimal
environmental impact and avoids depletion of our natural resources.
All hardwood sourced for the production of Weathertex products comes from local
new growth forests within 150 kilometres of the site.
The trees used to produce Weathertex cladding have sequestered sufficient carbon
dioxide during their growth to counter any carbon dioxide equivalent emissions
produced at the Weathertex factory during its manufacture.
Weathertex’s timber product is the only product of its kind in the world. Weathertex is an all-natural product produced from 100% sustainable new growth
Australian hardwood in an ISO 9001 certified process: 97% hardwood, 3% natural
wax and no chemical additives, artificial glues or binders.
