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:

6 . Fencing That's Impervious To Barks

Many dogs bark because of an inbred instinct to guard their territory. These protective, guarding breeds, will naturally bark if they sense strange activity in the vicinity of "their" property. Restricting access to some areas of your property or screening off areas that constantly trigger your dog's barking can reduce their need to be constantly on guard. Read how a fence made from COLORBOND® steel can help:
