Why is new COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech® solar refl ectance technology so important? Roofing is a key consideration when designing any

building to be thermally efficient. That’s why Thermatech®

solar reflectance technology is included in the specification

of all 20 standard colours in the COLORBOND® steel

range, at no extra cost.

In hot weather, COLORBOND® steel with Thermatech®

can help reduce peak roof temperatures by up to 11°C

and provide an equivalent increase in insulation of up to

R1.0. And, compared to roofing materials of equivalent

colour with lower solar reflectance, COLORBOND® steel

can reduce annual heating and cooling energy consumption

by up to 24%*. That’s a breath of fresh air for everyone.

For information and fact sheets, visit colorbond.com/thermatech or call 1800 022 999.

DESIGNED FOR LUXURY AND

DURABILITY, THE LIVING

LABORATORY IS A SENSATIONAL

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE

HOME BY WILL COLLINS AND IS

LOCATED AT THE ECOVILLAGE IN

THE CURRUMBIN VALLEY.

Recycled materials play a massive role in the home with recycled HWD featuring in the decking, joists,bearers and doors throughout.Pavers, windows, doors and bench tops were also sourced from recycled materials.

Crafted solid rock is used as thermal mass within the home to aid temperature control, as well as providing interesting aesthetics tothe interior of the home. Recycledaluminium French doors with ventpanels and bi-fold doors are used extensively to ensure maximum ventilation and natural light within the residence.

Also aiding the climate control is the polished concrete floor with Hydronic piping allowing for hot or cold water to be pumped through according to the season.

Externally, Ecoply cladding and nontoxic Rockcote paints were used toensure minimal impact on theenvironment, while the curved roofand vibrant colour highlights providea point of difference to the façade.

Crushed recycled concrete gravel isused for the driveways and paths,adding to the rugged setting of thehome. A pond is included into thelandscaping of the home and utiliseslocally sourced rock from the site.
