Roofs in Forest Glen: what we see and what we do
Forest Glen is rural residential country on the western side of the Bruce Highway, below the Buderim and Tanawha slopes. Most homes are 1980s to 2000s houses on acreage: brick with concrete tiles from the earlier decades, Colorbond on the later builds, and older corrugated iron on the original farmhouses and sheds. Big roofs, long driveways and lots of trees are the pattern, and shaded roof planes stay damp for weeks after rain.
Forest Glen is C3 inland under AS 4312, around eight to ten kilometres from the surf, so salt is a minor factor and the wear comes from sun, rain and leaf litter. Concrete tile coatings fade under UV over 15 to 25 years, and moss acids finish the job. Seaspray Restos cleans, repairs, re-points and coats tile and metal roofs on acreage properties across Forest Glen.
Things to watch on Forest Glen roofs
- Moss, lichen and leaf litter on tree-shaded acreage roofs
- Faded concrete tiles on 1980s and 90s homes
- Rust on unpainted sheds and older iron roofs
