Roofing Solutions for Himatangi Beach Homes

Built for longevity in one of NZ’s toughest coastal environments

🌬️ Sand, salt, and sea air — your roof’s daily test

Life at Himatangi Beach offers the perfect balance of relaxation and coastal lifestyle — but the environment is unforgiving on roofs.
Sea spray, shifting sand, and strong coastal winds combine to create one of the harshest corrosion zones in the lower North Island.

At Aquashield Roofing, we design and install coastal-grade re-roofing systems proven to withstand these exact conditions — giving homeowners and bach owners long-term protection and peace of mind.

🧱 The Coastal Challenge

Homes near Honi Taipua Street, Kuku Street, and the Himatangi Beach Reserve are exposed daily to fine sand carried on strong westerlies.
This sand acts like sandpaper, gradually wearing down roof coatings and accelerating corrosion around fixings and laps.

Add in constant salt exposure and humidity, and it’s easy to see why standard roofing products struggle here.

That’s where true marine-grade roofing systems make all the difference.

🧰 The Aquashield Coastal Roofing System

Every Himatangi Beach re-roof we complete uses proven products built for maximum corrosion resistance and durability.

🔹 Colorsteel Maxx

Perfect for properties within a few kilometres of the beach, offering enhanced coastal protection and UV durability.

🔹 ColorCote MagnaFlow

Ideal for mid-to-high coastal exposure, featuring magnesium-rich coatings that resist salt and sand abrasion.

🔹 ColorCote AlumiGuard (Extreme Coastal Protection)

For beachfront homes or baches with direct sea spray exposure, AlumiGuard’s aluminium-core steel delivers unmatched performance in corrosion zones.
It’s our top recommendation for Himatangi properties closest to the dunes.

“Himatangi’s conditions don’t forgive weak materials. We only use coastal-rated steel that’s built to last — because we’ve seen what happens when you don’t.”
— Slade Winiana, Owner, Aquashield Roofing

🧼 Maintenance Tips for Himatangi Beach Homes

Even the best coastal roof benefits from simple, proactive maintenance:

• Rinse your roof every 6 months to remove sand and salt buildup
• Inspect flashings, ridges, and fixings annually for signs of wear
• Avoid harsh water blasting or abrasive brushes — gentle cleaning works best
• Book a professional roof inspection before winter for added assurance

A few minutes of maintenance twice a year can add years to your roof’s life and preserve your warranty.
