Due to the continual rise in temperatures over the past couple of decades, India is fairly categorized as a “hot tropical” country. Hot climate is prevalent especially in the dry northern regions of the country. During peak summer months of April and May, the direct rays of the sun trigger unbearable heat not just for humans but also for building structures.
There are a lot of benefits of living near the ocean, from beautiful views to breathing in the fresh ocean air. Unfortunately, that same air can also be disastrous when it comes in contact with certain types of metal. Salt air causes corrosion, or rusting, which can cause a metal roof to fail prematurely and need to be replaced. Aluminum is compatible with coastal climates because it doesn’t rust. Rust is actually iron oxide and most aluminum already has very minimal amounts of iron. As a result, the sea salt spray from the water will have a lesser effect on the aluminum substrate.
