Here at Flood Roofing, we're passionate about protecting your coastal home in Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands. Living by the sea brings unique challenges. The salty sea breeze, moisture-laden air, and powerful coastal winds can really put your roof to the test.

That's why we've made it our mission to provide exceptional metal roofing installations, partnering with leading brands like Colorcote® and COLORSTEEL MAXAM® to ensure your home gets the best roofing solution Kerikeri has available.

The Advantages of Metal Roofing in Seaside Locations

When it comes to homes in coastal areas like Kerikeri, metal roofing stands head and shoulders above the rest, perfectly engineered to cope with New Zealand's demanding marine environment. Our metal roofing systems at Flood Roofing offer numerous benefits, ensuring your home stays protected and maintains its curb appeal for years to come.

Salt and Weather Resistance:

Living by the coast, your roof faces constant exposure to salt-laden air that can wreak havoc on traditional roofing materials. At Flood Roofing, our metal roofing solutions feature specialised marine-grade finishes that create an impenetrable barrier against salt and moisture.

These robust protective coatings ensure your roof stays corrosion-free and maintains its pristine appearance, even in the face of relentless coastal conditions.

Superior Longevity:

We understand Kerikeri's challenging coastal climate, which is why our metal roofing is engineered to last. Built to withstand intense UV rays, torrential downpours, and fierce winds, these roofs typically serve homeowners faithfully for 40+ years with minimal fuss.

Unlike conventional materials that deteriorate over time, our metal roofing maintains its structural integrity without cracking, warping, or letting water seep in – perfect for our region's mix of heavy rainfall and scorching summer sun.

High Wind Resistance:

Here in the Bay of Islands, we're no strangers to powerful gusts that can devastate ordinary roofs. Our metal roofing systems feature innovative interlocking panels and cutting-edge fastening technology that work together to keep your roof firmly in place. This exceptional structural strength means your home stays protected even during the most challenging weather conditions.

Low Maintenance:

We know you'd rather spend time enjoying your coastal lifestyle than worrying about roof maintenance. Our metal roofing's durable construction and protective coatings naturally ward off common coastal nuisances like algae, mould, and mildew.

This remarkable resistance means less time cleaning and more time enjoying your home, with significantly reduced maintenance costs over the years.

Customisable Aesthetics:

Your home deserves to look as good as it performs. Our metal roofing options offer endless possibilities for personalisation, with an extensive range of colours, profiles, and finishes to choose from.

Whether you prefer subtle earth tones that blend with the natural landscape or bold, striking colours that make your home stand out, we'll help you find the perfect look to complement your property's architecture and enhance its presence in our beautiful Bay of Islands setting.

Eco-Friendly and Energy Efficient:

We're committed to sustainable solutions that benefit both your home and our environment. Our metal roofs excel at reflecting sunlight, naturally cooling your home and reducing your summer energy bills.

Plus, these materials are recyclable at the end of their service life, making them an environmentally responsible choice that adds lasting value to your property.
