Complimentary COLORBOND® Colours For Shale Grey™ Sheds

Shale Grey™ pairs beautifully with a variety of other COLORBOND® colours, allowing you to customise your shed for a unique look. Popular combinations include:

  • Monument® – A bold, dark grey for a striking contrast.

  • Surfmist® – A lighter option that enhances the cool tones of Shale Grey™.

  • Dune® – A soft, warm neutral that pairs perfectly for a natural blend.

  • Basalt® – A deeper grey that creates a modern, minimalist appearance.

These colour combinations can be used for roofing, trims, and doors to create a harmonious or contrasting design for your shed.

Technical Specs For COLORBOND® Shale Grey™

COLORBOND® Shale Grey™ is engineered to deliver both style and strength. Key technical specifications include:

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

  • Solar Absorptance (SA): 0.44
    Solar Absorptance is a measure of how much heat from the sun the material absorbs. A value of 0.44 means that Shale Grey™ absorbs 44% of the sun’s radiation, making it a mid-range option for managing heat. This is important for both residential and commercial buildings, particularly in hotter climates.

  • Solar Reflectance Index (SRI): 66
    The Solar Reflectance Index indicates how well a material reflects solar heat. Shale Grey™ has an SRI of 66, showing good performance in reflecting sunlight and staying cooler, which can contribute to lower cooling costs for your building.

  • Light Reflectance Value (LRV): Approx. 55
    Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light is reflected by a surface, helping to determine the brightness of a building. Shale Grey™’s LRV indicates it reflects a moderate amount of light, creating a soft, neutral appearance.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion, even in harsh environments.

  • Thermal Efficiency: Incorporates Thermatech® technology, helping to reduce heat absorption and keep your shed cooler during hot summers.

  • Warranty: Backed by a warranty of up to 20 years, ensuring long-lasting performance.

These specifications make Shale Grey™ a reliable and stylish choice for your shed or garage project, providing both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
