This is for the 13 standard colours for UK and Ireland (flashings excluded). Excludes individual domestic residential applications. See full terms and conditions.

The guarantee now covers the use of Colorcoat® GP under photovoltaic (PV) frame modules on a new roof or wall and provides confidence that installing a PV array will not have a detrimental effect on the performance of the pre-finished steel.

The guarantee allows PV frame modules to be installed at any point throughout the guarantee period ensuring the building will still be covered for the remainder of the guarantee duration.
