Technical Specs For COLORBOND® Paperbark®

COLORBOND® steel in Paperbark® is built to withstand the toughest conditions. Key technical specifications include:

  • Base Metal Thickness (BMT): Available in 0.35mm, 0.42mm, and 0.48mm.

  • Solar Absorptance (SA): 0.43
    Paperbark® has a relatively low solar absorptance, meaning it absorbs less heat from the sun, making it a suitable option for reducing internal temperatures, especially in warmer climates.

  • Solar Reflectance Index (SRI): 67
    This higher SRI value indicates that Paperbark® effectively reflects solar energy, contributing to energy efficiency by reducing the need for cooling.

    With a mid-range LRV, Paperbark® reflects a good amount of visible light, providing a soft and inviting appearance while maintaining its durability and function.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Engineered for maximum durability in both coastal and inland locations.

  • Thermal Efficiency: Features Thermatech® technology, which reflects heat and helps keep your shed cooler in the summer months.
