In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we sit down with Paul Aldolphe, Business Development Manager at New Zealand Steel, to demystify how to choose roofing, cladding, and light-gauge framing that look great and go the distance.
Paul explains the essentials in plain English: how to confirm you’re getting genuine COLORSTEEL® (and why that matters for warranty and support), what the markings on the underside can tell you, and how to use the online colour visualiser and free samples to make confident design choices. We talk profiles (from classic corrugate to sleek tray and cost-smart trapezoidal), matte finishes that minimise “oil canning,” and simple steps for ongoing care, especially in “unwashed areas” that need periodic maintenance.
We also put it in a New Zealand context. With local manufacturing at Glenbrook and real-world testing across thousands of exposure panels, New Zealand Steel designs for our coastal, humid, and high-UV conditions—and backs it with practical guidance on environmental zones and warranties. Paul touches on newer alloy technologies that extend durability, when aluminium-based options make sense right on the water, and how AXXIS® light-gauge steel framing can speed builds, stay straight, and keep projects moving when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Whether you’re replacing a tired roof, planning a new build, or weighing options in a coastal spot, this conversation will help you ask better questions, choose the right material for your site, and balance aesthetics, durability, and budget with confidence.
