Marine Influences
Protect Against Corrosion
Coastal and waterside construction presents unique challenges that demand specialised coastal roofing solutions. Salt spray and severe weather can significantly impact the longevity and durability of steel structures, requiring careful material selection to ensure lasting performance.
At Apollo Roofing Solutions, we recommend UniCote® Coastal for any project in coastal or waterside environments. This pre-painted steel product features advanced anti-corrosive properties, highly resistant to the damaging effects of salt spray, humidity, and extreme weather conditions.

Coastal & Marine Environment Challenges
Proximity to pools
Chlorine and chemicals used in pool maintenance contribute to corrosion of nearby structures, adding another environmental factor to consider in material specification.
Weather extremes
Coastal and waterside areas experience high winds and storm surges that can damage structures not engineered to withstand such forces. Severe weather events compromise building materials and exacerbate corrosion effects.
Salt spray and high humidity
Coastal environments accelerate corrosion through high humidity levels and airborne salt. Salt deposits can lead to rapid deterioration, particularly near oceans, but also affect structures near large bodies of water.
Unwashed areas
Whilst rainwater washes salt deposits from exposed surfaces, structures have large unwashed areas where rainwater doesn’t reach, such as the undersides. Salt accumulation in these areas can accelerate corrosion without proper material selection.
Why UniCote® Coastal
We manufacture our insulated roofing, single skin roofing, and beams with UniCote® Coastal because it’s specifically engineered to address the unique challenges of coastal and waterside environments. This premium steel solution delivers superior protection and long-term performance where standard materials fail.
Key Features:
- Enhanced coating 30% thicker metallic coating provides superior protection against salt spray, high humidity, and chlorine
- Advanced paint technology Multi-layer primer and topcoat system offers additional barriers against corrosion, UV rays, and physical wear
- Superior corrosion resistance Enhanced coating system significantly reduces degradation from salt-laden air
- Durability in unwashed areas Protects panel undersides and areas not regularly washed by rain from salt buildup
- High weather resistance Strong substrate adherence prevents peeling and chipping in high wind and storm-prone areas
- Aesthetic longevity High-quality finish with excellent colour fastness maintains appearance in harsh environments
- Sustainability Extended lifespan means fewer replacements and repairs for sustainable building practices
- Warranty coverage Site-specific warranties depending on environment and distance from water, covering unwashed areas

Enhanced coating
Engineered to deliver
We manufacture our insulated roofing, single skin roofing, and beams with UniCote® Coastal because it stands out as a product specifically engineered to address the unique challenges posed by coastal and waterside environments.
- Enhanced coating: The metallic coating of UniCote® Coastal is 30% thicker, providing superior protection in harsh waterside environments. This thicker coating acts as an additional shield against the corrosive effects of salt spray, high humidity, and chlorine from pools, significantly reducing the likelihood of rust and deterioration.
- Advanced paint technology: The product uses advanced paint technology that includes a primer and topcoat designed to withstand harsh coastal environments. This multi-layer paint system offers an additional barrier against corrosion, UV rays, and physical wear, making it ideal for waterside applications.
