What The Roofing Centre does
The Roofing Centre is a regional steel building products distributor based in Tasmania, Australia. The company operates alongside Lysaght — a BlueScope Steel-owned brand — to distribute the complete LYSAGHT® steel building product range manufactured using BlueScope's proprietary COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® coating technologies, which are specifically engineered for Australian climate conditions. Its product portfolio spans seven categories: roofing, guttering and fascia (including CUSTOM ORB, KLIP-LOK, TRIMDEK, SPANDEK, ENSEAM, and LONGLINE 305 profiles); walling, cladding and facades (EASYCLAD, MULTICLAD, BAROQUE, HORIZON, DOMINION, AZURE); fencing and screening (ZENITH Range, FIRMLOK); patios, pergolas and verandahs; carports; walkways and shelters; and framing and formwork (BONDEK).
The company serves commercial, residential, and industrial customers across Tasmania through a combination of resellers (locatable via a "Find a Reseller" website tool), direct phone sales (13 30 38), online quote requests, and trade accounts for tradespeople and contractors. Pricing is quote-based and varies by availability and quantity, with no public price list. Marketing is conducted primarily through Lysaght's corporate digital channels — including the corporate website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, the annual Lysaght Inspirations Design Awards (LIDA) program, and design collaborations with Australian personalities such as Three Birds Renovations, Alisa & Lysandra, Nadine Ryan, and Trevor Williams.
The Roofing Centre is a private, long-established Tasmanian business. Its competitive position rests on its association with the LYSAGHT® brand (manufactured in Australia since 1921) and access to BlueScope's proprietary coating technologies, though all major trademarks referenced (COLORBOND®, ZINCALUME®, LYSAGHT®, SUPERDURA®, TRUECORE®, DECKFORM®, GALVASPAN®, REDGOR®, Thermatech®, Activate®, CORSTRIP®) are registered to BlueScope Steel Limited, not to The Roofing Centre itself. No revenue, headcount, ownership structure, or founding date is disclosed in the source material.
