Is it suitable for coastal homes?

Yes - marine-grade aluminium resists the salt air that corrodes steel and weathers timber. Rinse more often near the sea to clear salt build-up.

Does it cope with tropical humidity?

Aluminium does not absorb moisture, so it will not rot or grow mould the way timber does in humid, tropical conditions.

Aluminium handles big daily temperature swings without splitting, and dust simply hoses off.

Non-porous aluminium gives damp and frost nothing to grip, so there is no rot and nothing to repaint in cool, wet regions.
