Roofs in Caloundra West: what we see and what we do
Caloundra West is where the town's growth headed after 2000. Estates such as Bellvista and Bells Reach filled in the land south of Caloundra Road with two-storey and single-storey homes on smaller blocks. Flat-profile concrete tiles were the standard roof for the 2000s builds, with Colorbond taking over on later stages. The earliest tile roofs here are now 20 years old and the original coating is starting to chalk and fade.
The suburb sits two to four kilometres from the surf in the C3 coastal band under AS 4312, so salt is a slower problem than at the beach, but UV and heavy summer rain are not. Flat-profile tiles hold water longer on low pitches and grow moss along the laps. Seaspray Restos cleans, re-points and coats these roofs with primer and two membrane coats, and can add a heat-reflective membrane for hot west-facing roofs.
Things to watch on Caloundra West roofs
- Early fading on 2000s flat-profile concrete tiles
- Moss along the laps of low-pitched tile roofs
- Cracked pointing on two-storey homes exposed to wind
