Roofs in Tanawha: what we see and what we do
Tanawha spreads across the southern foothills of Buderim between the Bruce Highway and Sippy Downs, and it is almost entirely acreage. Homes are mostly 1980s to 2000s: brick with concrete or terracotta tiles on the older blocks and Colorbond on the newer ones, with sheds, stables and studios in older iron. The blocks are big and heavily treed, so roofs are large, shaded and slow to dry after the frequent summer downpours.
Tanawha is around six to seven kilometres from the surf, in the C3 coastal band of AS 4312, and the sea breeze still carries some salt up the slope. The bigger issue is shade: moss and lichen colonise the south side of tree-covered roofs and eat the tile coating. Seaspray Restos pressure cleans and soft washes, re-beds and re-points, replaces cracked tiles and seals roofs with primer and two coats of Industrial Roof Coatings membrane.
Things to watch on Tanawha roofs
- Moss and lichen on shaded, tree-covered roof planes
- Cracked ridge pointing on large multi-hipped acreage roofs
- Rust on shed roofs and older iron outbuildings
