Living by the coast has its charm—refreshing sea breezes, stunning sunsets, and a relaxed lifestyle. But for homeowners, coastal living also brings unique challenges. Salt-laden air, high humidity, and strong winds can cause rapid wear and tear on roofing systems. Choosing the right roofing material is crucial for protecting your home and ensuring long-term durability.
At Scaffs India, we provide premium roofing solutions designed to withstand the coastal climate of Kerala. Here’s a look at the best roofing materials for coastal homes.
1. Architectural Roofing Shingles
Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than standard asphalt shingles. They resist high winds and provide superior water resistance, making them ideal for coastal homes prone to storms. Their layered design also offers a stylish appearance, adding to curb appeal.
2. Premium Designer Shingles
If you’re looking for both performance and aesthetics, premium designer shingles like Armourshake combine durability with natural looks that complement coastal architecture. They resist salt and moisture penetration, ensuring long-lasting protection.
3. Asphalt 3-Tab Shingles
For homeowners on a budget, asphalt traditional 3-tab shingles offer reliable protection against humidity and salt air. While not as thick as architectural shingles, they provide decent performance when maintained regularly.
4. Tejas Borja Roof Tiles
Clay and ceramic tiles are naturally resistant to salt and moisture, making them perfect for seaside homes. Options like Tejas Borja solar tiles, Borja Tech, or Borja Extrem tiles not only offer superior durability but also energy efficiency, helping coastal homeowners reduce energy costs.
5. Dynasty Roofing Shingles
For maximum strength, Dynasty roofing shingles are engineered to withstand strong winds and moisture-heavy environments. Their advanced technology ensures protection from both salt corrosion and algae growth.
6. Accessory Products for Coastal Durability
Along with roofing materials, proper accessory products—such as waterproof underlayments, ridge vents, and sealants—play a crucial role in preventing leaks and prolonging roof life in coastal climates.
7. Regular Maintenance is Key
Even the best materials need care. Coastal homeowners should schedule roofing services regularly to check for early signs of damage, salt buildup, or moisture intrusion. Timely inspections and repairs save money and protect your investment.
Conclusion
When building or renovating a coastal home, choosing the right roofing material is the first step toward lasting protection. From durable architectural shingles to elegant Tejas Borja tiles, Scaffs India offers solutions that balance strength, style, and weather resistance.
