2 . COLORBOND® steel - The Builders Choice

Ray Watts of RL Watts Design Pty Ltd and home builder Paul Mangan of Mangan Builders have teamed up to design and build the Mangan's family home in Blairgowrie on the Mornington Peninsula with extensive use of COLORBOND® steel in its contemporary design. Mr Watts says: "In times of fire steel does not ignite or burn. It is also 100% termite proof and allergy free and stands up very well in harsher weather". Read more on the home design at:
