FAQs
Can BlueScope Steel recommend a product to be used in the collection of drinking water?
Recently BlueScope Steel commissioned the Australian Water Quality Centre to determine if our products meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS/NZ 4020 - 1999 "Products for use in contact with drinking water".
The results of testing to the above standard have allowed BlueScope Steel to confidently recommend the use of COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel for the collection of drinking water.
(BlueScope Steel only recommends AQUAPLATE® steel for the storage of drinking water).
What is cladding and how does it relate to roofing and walling?
Cladding is a collective term for any sheeting that covers a building, whether it be on the roof of the building, or on the walls. Roof cladding is made from thicker steel and is rolled to a profile capable of supporting roof traffic*. In most cases, these roof claddings can also be used for walling as well. Wall cladding is made from thinner steel, rolled to a less rigid profile. They are generally not capable of supporting roof traffic, prohibiting their use as roofing.
*Some roofing is designed to be non-trafficable. Please consult the span and capacity tables of the cladding for further details.
