Living in a coastal or humid region like Kerala means your roof faces constant challenges—heavy monsoons, salty sea breeze, and high humidity that can damage conventional roofing materials. The wrong choice of roofing can lead to leaks, mold growth, rust, and premature wear. At Scaffs India, we specialize in climate-appropriate roofing materials that combine strength, durability, and beauty for homes built near the sea or in humid environments.
Key Challenges for Coastal Roofing
Before choosing the right roofing material, it’s important to understand the unique challenges coastal homes face:
Salt corrosion – Metal roofing corrodes faster near the sea.
Moss & algae growth – Common in humid, shaded areas.
Heavy rainfall & strong winds – Require roofing that can resist uplift and water penetration.
UV damage – Intense coastal sunlight can weaken certain materials.
