The advanced paint and coating system adds a watertight seal, helping your roof shed rain efficiently while protecting against surface wear and UV damage.

upkeep

Maintenance

ZinaCore requires minimal maintenance but benefits from regular cleaning to preserve its finish and warranty.

Wash

Wash down every 6–12 months

clear

Keep debris off the roof and clear downpipes

Inspect

Inspect flashings/fasteners annually

Compatible Systems & Alternatives

ZinaCore performs exceptionally in mild to moderate environments, but if your property is in a coastal or salt-prone area, we recommend upgrading to

ColorCote MagnaFlow

for stronger salt resistance.

ColorCote AlumiGuard

for extreme coastal conditions.

Colorsteel Maxx

a premium NZ-made marine-grade option.

Each of these systems is part of the Aquashield Roofing trusted range, tailored for your environment and exposure level.

For the whole team including the lady in the office a job well done in not the nicest of weather, you were a pleasure to have around.  Only suggestion would have been for Rueben to pose for the camara when the photo's were taken of the finished roof :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Aquashield Roofing Ltd. This has been a trouble free, amazing experience for us. From an unexpected leak causing big problems inside to a completely new roof this could not have gone smoother. Jazz was great to deal with, no problems at all. The roofing guys were very efficient, tidy, thorough, polite, skilled, can’t say enough. The roof looks great and the site was cleared each of the rubbish. Very professional service.

Great service. Outstanding communication and workmanship. Would highly recommend. Wasn’t an easy job as it was a tiled roof but Slade made the process easy and provided great advice to convert it to a corrugated roof for longevity.
