The Best Metal Roof for Coastal Areas and Other Corrosive Environments

Don’t let concerns about your roof integrity eat away at you.

Sea Spray Sabotage: The Assault of Salty Air on a Roof

As you stroll barefoot in the sand, your sandals dangling from the straps in your fingertips, you take a long look at the skyline. A pristine, cheerfully-painted metal roof contrasts sharply with the surrounding roofs, speckled with rust and deterioration. Why such a difference? Roofs corrode quickly when exposed to natural and toxic chemicals belched into the air. Many natural events create a surprisingly corrosive environment, including volcanic emissions in Hawaii, industrial emissions in urban settings, oil field emissions in the Permian and Appalachian Basins and along the Gulf Coast, geothermal emissions in Yellowstone, and good old, salty sea air.

Toxic Air Takes a Toll on Your Home

Toxic air contains harmful substances that react with building materials. Structures with exterior facades made of limestone, marble or certain types of concrete can suffer from corrosion, discoloration or a breakdown of the building’s aesthetic features. Traditional roofing materials might seem like an option, but they rarely hold up to the high moisture content in the air. Cheap metal surfaces rust and weaken over time. So what can a builder do? Can high-quality metal roofing and wall cladding offer a smart choice in a corrosive environment? Absolutely!

So, What Is the Best Metal Roof for Coastal Areas?

With Spengler Industries at the helm, we take the time to understand the specific corrosive agents in the air and their potential effects. We determine the appropriate materials to use based on the location, exposure and other extreme climate concerns. We select our materials and coatings strategically. With a commitment to excellence, our corrosion-resistant roofing solutions undergo rigorous testing worldwide, proving their efficacy in withstanding the elements unique to each setting. Even in the most corrosive environments, our products require minimal maintenance and remain blemish-free and pristine. That beautiful roof you stopped to admire on your walk?
