Coastal beauty gets new roof

By DuPont™ Tedlar®.

A durable roof for a seaside dream home.

Homes in Florida are exposed to extreme conditions from hurricane-force winds to extreme heat and corrosive saltwater. With Tampa Bay just 100 feet away, the owners of this three-story home knew they needed a roof that could withstand the elements, but also not distract from the natural beauty around them. That's why they selected the COASTALUME™ roof in Matte Black to adorn their home and protect it from the stormy weather in Florida, setting new standards for coastal architecture. Fluorogistx, Mighty Dog Roofing and DSG Site Services worked together to bring this home in Oldsmar, Florida, the high-quality roof it deserves that's not only functional but incredibly visually appealing.

COASTALUME™ is a unique roofing and siding solution, the first GALVALUME® product to offer a coastal warranty. Thanks to the advanced protective capabilities of Tedlar® PVF film, COASTALUME™ enables 25 year substrate warranties and up to 50 year finish warranties 300’ from breaking surf or 0’ from brackish water sources like the Tampa Bay. Tedlar® easily rinses clean in rain, meaning no freshwater rinse is required to maintain this finish warranty. Anything can be cleaned off Tedlar® without altering the appearance, from bird droppings to graffiti. It’s highly inert surface even resists mold and mildew growth.

This roof is exposed to the corrosive bay water, but also to hurricane force winds. The strength of steel and weatherability and salt spray performance of Tedlar® mean that this owner can feel confident his home is set up for long term success in this demanding environment.

The successful realization of this modern home is made possible through the expertise of Fluorogistx, known for innovative material solutions, Mighty Dog Roofing, recognized for exceptional installation service and DSG Site Services, specializing in site management.
