What’s the Best Rainscreen Cladding for Coastal Areas?

For coastal areas, the best rainscreen cladding material needs to offer exceptional corrosion resistance due to the high salt content in the air and moisture. In this regard, our PVDF-coated aluminum panels are an outstanding choice. Aluminum itself has good natural corrosion resistance, but the addition of a high-quality PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) coating provides a superior barrier against saltwater and harsh marine environments. This multi-layer coating system is highly inert and resistant to chemical attack, preventing pitting or degradation often seen in less robust materials. Furthermore, a well-designed rainscreen system using our aluminum panels helps manage moisture effectively, preventing saltwater from being trapped against the building's structural components. The lightweight nature of aluminum also simplifies installation, which can be beneficial in challenging coastal construction sites. When selecting rainscreen cladding for coastal applications, specifying marine-grade aluminum alloys and ensuring all fixings and sub-structure components are also corrosion-resistant is crucial. Our company provides expert advice on selecting the optimal aluminum rainscreen solution for durable and long-lasting performance in demanding coastal environments.
