Sustainable roofing
As environmental responsibility becomes a growing priority across Geelong and the Surf Coast, more homeowners and business owners are turning to sustainable roofing options. Whether you’re upgrading a heritage home in Newtown or designing a new commercial site in North Geelong, choosing eco-friendly roofing isn’t just a smart investment—it’s a commitment to a better future.
At Geelong Roofing Co, we’re proud to offer innovative, sustainable roofing solutions tailored to the unique needs of our local climate and community.
Why choose sustainable roofing?
Sustainable roofing helps reduce your building’s environmental impact while delivering long-term benefits like improved energy efficiency, thermal performance, and reduced maintenance. With Victoria’s fluctuating weather—from hot, dry summers to cool, wet winters—the right roof can improve comfort and cut energy bills year-round.

Colorbond® steel is a top choice for both homes and commercial buildings across Geelong. Durable, low-maintenance, and made to withstand harsh Aussie conditions, it’s also 100% recyclable. With Thermatech® solar reflectance, it helps keep your home cooler by reflecting more of the sun’s heat.

Lower cooling costs in summer
Available in colours that complement the coastal and country looks.
