Coastal Roofing System

Selecting a roof for coastal properties is most often based entirely on the harsh environment associated with seaside living.

Winds blow strong. The sun beats down with blazing strength, dispensing large daily doses of destructive heat and UV radiation. Salt spray is deposited on every exposed building surface where it reacts chemically with virtually everything it touches. And, when the rains come, they are often torrential.

Follansbee roofs address all of these issues.  Wind has little or no effect. An unpainted TCS II roof reflects much of the sun’s energy, and Follansbee offers a wide variety of paints, including KlassicKolors, found on Follansbee’s Terne II roof, that are highly UV-reflective. Thanks to Follansbee’s ZT alloy, laboratory salt spray tests even over 22,000 hours have never been able to generate rust on a Follansbee roof, though competitive roofs typically fail at around 1,200 hours. Because it is so reliable, a Follansbee roof makes the best rain barrier available.

These qualities make Follansbee the first choice of architects and builders who specialize in coastal properties.
