How Salt Air Affects Paint in Big Bay

Big Bay's open Atlantic position creates among the most intense salt air conditions of any established Cape Town residential suburb. The famous south-westerly that makes Big Bay a world-class kitesurfing destination also drives salt spray from the open ocean onto every property in the suburb.

All Big Bay Properties Affected

Unlike larger suburbs where inland properties are more sheltered, Big Bay is compact enough that virtually every property faces meaningful direct Atlantic exposure. Properties closest to the beach face the most intense conditions but even properties set back from the beachfront receive significant salt air. Premium coastal products without exception for every Big Bay property. For beachfront-facing metalwork, two-pack epoxy primer is the recommended specification. Paint cycles of five to six years even with premium products. Annual anti-rust inspection essential. See our paint products guide.
