Building Materials For Coastal Houses That Are Durable And Long-Lasting

When it comes to picking materials for exterior design, coastal property owners understand that longevity is just as essential as looks. Hotel Builders are most detailed at coastal hotels as well.  It has to be well defined because they are generally subjected to more harsher circumstances than their inland counterparts, necessitating the use of more durable materials.

It's a good idea to pick exterior materials that are naturally resistant to harsh weather to decrease maintenance costs and hassles. Whether you are designing your new beach house or updating an existing structure at your oceanside home, our team in Argus Builders can guide you in choosing products that will withstand the harsher elements of a coastal location.

Granite/ Concrete

Because of its durability and aesthetic appeal, granite is a popular choice for coastal residences and beach villas. While many materials are destroyed by freeze-thaw cycles, granite is resistant to these conditions and requires little care. It could be used as flooring inside and outside the house or as walls to protect the house. The downside is that the construction takes a lot of time for the concrete to completely dry. However, it is always worth it to wait for your one true lovely house to exist for years.

Engineered Hardwood or Solid Hardwood

Engineered floors look and perform great as a floor. Go for solid hardwood where you can refine the looks and texture especially if it would be used for walls. But with that said, the way it is manufactured now is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, design wise, and may hold up better in spaces that get a lot of moisture like kitchens and bathrooms or at the beach. Another advantage of engineered wood is its low cost. It's much less expensive to set up than the genuine thing. We may also put in radiant heating beneath the floor.

Tiles

Because tile is thick, it will take a little longer to install and will require additional support beneath. You do face the risk of cracks over time, but with the right installation, this shouldn't be a problem. Tiles look and feel fantastic in coastal settings, and one of our favorite things about it is the variety of colors, sizes, and patterns available.

Outdoor Painting

Paint by the beach may quickly wear and fade due to the sun, sand, and salt. Painting at the seaside needs a bit more preparation than in other climates. It gets very tricky understanding that purchasing the best paint, it still will not endure indefinitely.

The surface paint applied on has just as much to do with the paint's longevity as the paint itself, which is something that isn't discussed enough. This is why most of the time we suggest wall murals covered with wax or stamped concrete.

Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC)

This is one of the most adaptable building materials any Hotel and Resort Construction Company would suggest for coastal projects. uPVC is a natural choice for coastal conditions since it is extremely durable, recyclable, and energy efficient. The air in a coastal area has a lot of moisture in it, which causes corrosion and rust simply to happen. uPVC windows and doors can withstand nature's wrath in the form of atmospheric corrosion.

Weathering erosion and discoloration are unlikely to ruin uPVC doors and windows. It can withstand high altitude winds, torrential rains and storms. It eliminates the probability of water, air and sound leakages with its special sealing gaskets. The locking systems for uPVC windows and doors are durable and efficient which helps to maintain the quality and sustainability for a long period of time.
