Protecting Your Property from Salt Spray and Ocean Winds

Living by the coast offers an idyllic lifestyle — fresh air, stunning views and constant connection to nature make living there truly magnificent. However, coastal living can also present special challenges to homeowners, particularly in terms of protecting their property against harsh elements like salt spray and ocean winds which can cause significant wear-and-tear of metal roofs over time.

Relentless Threats to Metal Roofs

Salt spray and ocean winds pose a persistent threat to metal roofs in various ways:

• Corrosion: Saltwater can be very corrosive and constant exposure can rust and deteriorate metal roofs, leading to leaks, structural problems, and eventually necessitating complete roof replacement.
• Abrasion: Ocean winds often carry debris such as sand that can wear down the surface of a metal roof and weaken it over time, leaving it more susceptible to corrosion.
• Bleaching: Constant exposure to sunlight and saltwater can cause the paint on a metal roof to fade and chalk, detracting from aesthetics, as well as exposing its metal base to harmful UV rays and saltwater corrosion. 

These factors can significantly decrease the lifespan of metal roofs, necessitating costly repairs or even a full replacement.
