Kerala’s monsoon is legendary—lush, heavy, and persistent. While it brings life to the land, it also tests the resilience of every home’s roofing system. If you’re considering or already have roofing shingles on your home, you might wonder: how well do they withstand Kerala’s rainy season?
At Scaffs India, we specialise in durable, weather-resistant roofing solutions across India. Here’s what you need to know.
Lifespan of Roofing Shingles in Kerala’s Climate
Under normal conditions, roofing shingles typically last 20 to 30 years. However, in Kerala’s unique tropical monsoon climate, this lifespan can be affected by:
1. Rain Intensity and Frequency
The prolonged and heavy rainfall during monsoon can weaken low-quality or improperly installed shingles. That’s why premium asphalt or fibreglass shingles—like the ones we supply at Scaffs India—are recommended for their excellent water resistance and durability.
2. Humidity and Moss Growth
Kerala’s high humidity promotes moss, algae, and fungal growth, which can reduce the efficiency and life of traditional roofing materials. Our shingles are anti-fungal treated to combat this issue effectively.
3. Installation Quality
The longevity of your shingles also depends heavily on proper installation. At Scaffs India, our experienced professionals ensure watertight, wind-resistant, and durable installation for homes and commercial buildings alike. Explore our Services to learn more.
Enhancing Shingle Life During Monsoon
Here are a few tips to extend the lifespan of your roofing shingles:
Opt for high-grade shingles that are UV and moisture-resistant.
Install ridge vents or attic ventilation to reduce internal humidity.
Schedule annual roof inspections, especially after the monsoon season.
Ensure proper drainage and gutter cleaning to avoid water buildup.
