“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” – Benjamin Franklin
Any building owner that has had a coatings failure on their structure can relate to this quote. Seaside and coastal areas are beautiful locations for commercial and residential buildings, but also pose the greatest challenges in protecting exterior-facing architectural aluminum products from corrosion. Without proper precautions and finishes, corrosion to these aluminum components can damage the building envelope’s structural integrity, leading to systemic failure.
