My roof is less than 30 days old-spanish s charleston blend. I have severe efflorenscence. Will this go away and the roof return to the original color???
This is an unsealed product, which means it will allow efflorescence to develop on the tile surface. The color has not been compromised by this curing process. Repeated rains will gradually clear the surface over time. You can demonstrate this process yourself by wetting a section of the roof with a garden hose or observing during a rain shower. Both events will temporarily wash the white film from the surface and you will see the tile color unfiltered by the natural chemical process. When it dries, the efflorescence will return. Repeated applications of rainwater will eventually dissipate the white film. Do you have an application of your roof tiles that has passed the Dade county certification for hurricane winds. If you have clips for high winds are they available in stainless steel? Is there a fungicide in your roof shingles. and if so how does it affect drinking water collected off of your roofs?
