How do metal wall panels perform in high-humidity coastal cities like Jeddah?
Coastal cities like Jeddah, Yanbu, and Dammam face high humidity and salt-laden air, which can accelerate corrosion and degrade many building materials. Aluminum wall systems, when properly coated and installed, deliver excellent long-term performance in these environments.
Our metal wall panels feature marine-grade PVDF or fluoropolymer coatings that are tested for high resistance to moisture penetration, chloride corrosion, and UV degradation. These coatings are hydrophobic and non-porous, helping prevent staining, oxidation, and blistering—even under continuous humid exposure.
In Jeddah’s high-humidity months, aluminum’s non-hygroscopic properties ensure that it doesn’t absorb moisture, maintaining structural stability and preventing mold or mildew growth. Additionally, concealed drainage paths and ventilated cavity designs promote natural drying behind the façade.
We also recommend stainless steel or corrosion-proof fixings to complement the aluminum’s resilience, ensuring the entire cladding system withstands the coastal atmosphere. With minimal maintenance, these systems continue to perform and look new for decades—making them a go-to solution for coastal Gulf cities.
