Warranty Conditions
Ace Gutters Durakote® warranties are conditional on correct installation in accordance with the manufacturer's installation guide, use of approved fasteners and accessories, and regular maintenance. Warranties are void if products are installed in environments beyond their specification (e.g. standard products in coastal zones), if incompatible fasteners or sealants are used, or if products are cut with tools that generate heat. Full warranty documentation is available on request from Steel Source Australia.
Coastal Range
Coastal Zone Selection Guide
Selecting the correct product specification for your coastal location is critical to warranty validity and long-term performance. Use the guide below to determine whether standard Durakote® or the Coastal Range is required for your project.
Zone A — Inland
Standard Durakote®
More than 1km from breaking surf
Standard Durakote® roofing and guttering is suitable. Full 30-year roofing / 20-year paint warranty applies.
Zone B — Near Coastal
Coastal Range Recommended
100m–1km from breaking surf
Coastal Range strongly recommended. Standard Durakote® may be used but warranty is reduced. Enquire for specific zone assessment.
Zone C — Coastal
Coastal Range Required
Within 100m of breaking surf
Ace Gutters Coastal Range is required. Standard Durakote® warranty does not apply within 100m of breaking surf. Stainless fixings mandatory.
Coastal zone classifications are based on AS 4312 atmospheric corrosivity categories. The 100m rule is a general guide — actual corrosivity depends on prevailing wind direction, topography, and local conditions. Steel Source Australia recommends consulting the Ace Gutters technical team for projects in borderline locations. Contact us on 0467 158 771 for a coastal zone assessment.
About Ace Gutters
Why Ace Gutters Durakote®?
Ace Gutters has been manufacturing Australian-made roofing and rainwater products since 1953. Here's why builders, architects and homeowners across Australia specify Ace Gutters Durakote® for their projects.
Australian Made Since 1953
Ace Gutters has been manufacturing in Australia for over 70 years. Products are manufactured locally using Australian steel and carry the Australian Made Campaign endorsement. Buying Ace Gutters supports Australian manufacturing jobs.
DURAKOTE® Premium Coating
DURAKOTE® is a premium low-gloss polyester paint system applied over a Zincalume® steel substrate. The dual-layer primer and topcoat system delivers superior UV resistance, colour retention and corrosion protection compared to standard pre-painted steel products.
Industry-Leading Warranties
Ace Gutters Durakote® carries a 30-year perforation warranty on roofing products and a 20-year paint warranty on all products — among the strongest warranties available on Australian-made steel roofing and guttering.
Complete System Approach
Ace Gutters supplies a complete matched system — roofing profiles, guttering, downpipes, flashings, ridge cappings, battens, insulation and fasteners — all in matching Durakote® colours. A single-supplier system eliminates compatibility issues and colour mismatches.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DURAKOTE® and how does it differ from COLORBOND®?
DURAKOTE® is Ace Gutters' proprietary premium low-gloss pre-painted steel system, manufactured specifically for their roofing and rainwater products. COLORBOND® is BlueScope® Steel's branded pre-painted steel. Both are high-quality Australian-made pre-painted steel systems — the key difference is that DURAKOTE® is available exclusively through Ace Gutters Authorised Distributors and is specifically formulated for the low-gloss aesthetic preferred in guttering and roofing applications.
Can I mix Ace Gutters roofing with COLORBOND® guttering?
Technically yes, but it is not recommended. Colour matching between DURAKOTE® and COLORBOND® is approximate — the two systems use different paint formulations and the colours will not be an exact match. For a consistent result, we recommend using the complete Ace Gutters Durakote® system for both roofing and guttering.
How do I order custom cut lengths?
Steel Source Australia can supply Ace Gutters roofing in custom cut lengths to suit your project. Simply add the product to your enquiry list and specify the required lengths in the notes field. Our team will confirm availability, lead times and pricing.
What is the minimum order quantity?
There is no minimum order quantity for Ace Gutters products supplied through Steel Source Australia. However, freight costs for small orders may make it more economical to consolidate orders. Contact our team to discuss your project requirements.
Are Ace Gutters products suitable for bushfire-prone areas?
Ace Gutters Durakote® steel roofing and guttering products are non-combustible and suitable for use in Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rated areas. Specific BAL ratings depend on the profile, BMT and installation method. Consult the Ace Gutters technical documentation or contact Steel Source Australia for BAL-specific advice.
How long does delivery take to my state?
Delivery timeframes depend on your location and the products ordered. Standard products are typically available ex-stock from our NSW warehouse. Delivery to VIC, ACT and QLD is typically 2–5 business days. SA, WA, NT and TAS may take longer. Custom cut lengths and Coastal Range products may have additional lead times. Contact us for a specific delivery estimate.
Do you supply flashings and accessories to match?
Yes — Steel Source Australia supplies the full Ace Gutters Durakote® accessories range including ridge cappings, barge flashings, apron flashings, stop ends, outlets, brackets, joiners, downpipe shoes and fasteners, all in matching Durakote® colours.
What fasteners should I use with Ace Gutters products?
Only use Ace Gutters approved Class 3 or Class 4 hex-head roofing screws with EPDM washers. Do not use zinc-plated screws — they will corrode and cause rust staining. For Coastal Range products, use stainless steel (Grade 316) fasteners only. Using non-approved fasteners will void the warranty.
