This device forces water through a hose attachment, creating a powerful spray that can blast away stubborn stains and gunk. Pressure washing your Colorbond roof is an effective way to get rid of any grime that has accumulated over time. However, before you take on the process yourself, consider if it's really necessary for you to do so by calculating the cost/benefit ratio involved in performing this task yourself.\r\rIf done properly, this method can give your roof a fresh look without much effort on your part. This makes it an ideal alternative when you want clean results but don't want to invest much time or money in the process.\r\rPressure washing your roof can be done easily with a few simple tools and items. If you're working on an individual section of your roof, consider using a telescoping extension pole-mounted pressure washer to ensure that coverage is even. If you do not have access to an outdoor hose (which will need to contain enough pressure for this task), rent or buy a machine – which includes tips – suitable for cleaning roofs and other structures. Be sure to wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when pressure washing. The reason for this is that the high-pressure spray can cause irritation and injury if it comes into contact with bare skin or eyes. You may also want to cover any nearby windows or plants with a drop cloth. This way, they can be protected in case you lose control of the spray.\r\rProtect yourself from the high-pressure spray by keeping a safe distance from the surface you are pressure washing. Some cleaners recommend keeping your distance at around 10 inches or more for best results, so consider purchasing or renting an attachment that can help you keep your distance while applying forward motion on the surface of the roof with the nozzle.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What do you clean Colorbond with?","text":"You can use a roof cleaning solution for cleaning Colorbond roof.

As part of an exterior wall, large overhangs protect windows and exterior doors during storms and heavy rains. This drip edge can be functional (i.e., built into the structure), cantilevered beyond its support (i.e., projecting), or simply decorative with protruding flat boards underneath to catch water droplets before they fall.

","text":"Eaves are sometimes used purely for decoration that improves the architectural style of the building. For instance, decoration was the main idea in Dutch colonial houses that had the flared eaves curved upwards at the outer edge to reflect the concept behind Dutch hats.\r\rEaves may also be used to divert water away from the walls, protect walls and windows. Wide eaves are great at providing shade to the sidings, especially in hot weather conditions. They provide additional space under the roof surface area, which can be used for storage or habitable space like an attic conversion/loft conversion in a building. This arrangement is especially helpful when buildings have spiral staircases so that users can exit through a window in the staircase. \r\rYou can employ the versatility of roof eaves to modify the architectural design of your house. A case in point is deep eaves to beautify ranch style homes. \r\rThe rafters of the eave are also the location where the fascia board is attached. Further, the fascia is the part of the roof where gutters are attached. \r\rWhen a building is on a slope, eaves may be used to redirect rain water away from the lowest side of the structure. House eaves may also be used for other purposes, such as air conditioning systems to maintain a comfortable temperature during winter or summer. Roof eaves are also used to access the roof space to install accessories for solar panels.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h3","heading":"Exposed eaves","text":"The exposed rafters on the underside of the building, the roof tiles, or the roof itself are visible.

Eaves are the overhanging portion of a roof, usually found along the perimeter of a building. Eaves can serve multiple purposes, such as rainwater runoff control and fade protection. \r\rThey may also serve an aesthetic purpose or provide extra space for storage or even loft conversion. Most houses have eaves on the front and rear elevation and some on either side. The amount of overhang varies from project to project depending on design, climate, and client requirements.\r\rEaves can also be decorative pieces that add character to a building's facade/frontage. They take on a multitude of shapes and designs, ranging from a flat board to an ornate piece with multiple levels.
