Salt air and ocean wind, part by part
What the ocean does to each part of your roof
Salt and wind wear a roof by the water faster, and always in the same places.

|---|---|---|
| Flashing | Salt air pits and corrodes metal at walls and curbs | Stainless or coated aluminum flashing, sealed into the membrane |
| Fasteners and edge metal | Rusted screws let wind uplift peel the roof edge back | Stainless fasteners at tighter spacing on a cleated edge |
| Modified bitumen seams and laps | Nor'easters drive rain sideways into any lap left open | SBS cap sheet with fully torched laps, probed seam by seam |
| Shingle tabs | Ocean gusts break the seal strip and leave lifted, torn tabs | High-wind rated shingles set with six nails each |
