How to Combat High-Salinity Corrosion in Coastal West Africa?
Reimagining the role of materials in coastal architecture

In coastal cities like Lagos, high concentrations of salt spray are the "number one killer" of metal structures. Design must move beyond aesthetics to combat environmental erosion. Purpose-driven material selection transforms climate challenges into progress, pushing architecture toward enduring protection.

Purpose-driven defense for brand structures

WAA’s color-coated coils feature special PVDF coatings, bringing life to buildings and ensuring they stand firm against extreme salt spray.

  • Highlight authenticity: Every aluminium coil undergoes rigorous salt spray simulation tests.
  • Be authentic: A dense chemical barrier effectively blocks chloride ion penetration.
  • Make it memorable: This protection ensures structural integrity for decades.
Corrosion resistance as a strategic advantage

For developers, weather resistance is more than a technical spec; it’s a long-term commitment to asset value.

1. Emotion over information

he peace of mind from living in a rust-free building inspires more than any manual.

2. Stories that scale

When anti-corrosion tech spans the entire chain, it builds a resilient coastal community.
