COLORBOND® steel is a proud sponsor of The Block 2026.
The Block is back for its 22nd season - this time in Mount Eliza on the Victorian Mornington Peninsula.
Kicking off on August 2, the 2026 season will see five contestant teams build brand new homes with dazzling water views, a first ever for The Block. Once again, The Block has confidently chosen COLORBOND® steel for each roof, supporting the design and functionality of each home backed by durability and long-life performance.
Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we follow their design choices right through the build (without the drama, of course) as they build these homes from scratch.
