Why Standard Paint Fails in Tauranga
Living in the Bay offers an incredible lifestyle, but the environment is harsh on your property. Salt-laden winds from the harbour and intense UV radiation can strip standard acrylic paint in just a few years. At Tomar Contracting, we don't just apply paint; we engineer a defense system for your home. We use specialized marine-grade membranes and salt-neutralising washes designed specifically for the coastal zones of Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, and Omokoroa.
Standard water blasting removes dirt, but it fails to dissolve bound chlorides (marine salts). We implement a mandatory "Zero-Salt" Protocol using specialized surfactants like Chlor-X to chemically break the salt-substrate bond. Painting over salt crystals leads to osmotic blistering, where salt pulls moisture through the paint film and blasts the new coating off your walls from the inside out. Ask us for a Salt Level Test. We use conductivity meters to measure chloride contamination on your walls before we quote, providing you with a data-backed assessment of your home's needs.
Our 3-Step Coastal Protection System:
-
Chemical Salt Neutralization: Breaking the ionic bond between marine salts and your home's cladding to prevent osmotic failure.
-
Substrate Repair: We treat rust on iron roofs and seal hairline cracks in plaster cladding.
-
Marine Coating: We apply high-build, elastomeric paints that stretch with the heat and block moisture.
Commercial & Industrial Coatings
We provide low-disruption maintenance painting for Tauranga’s businesses. From Intumescent Fire Coatings in Tauriko to Office Refits in the CBD, our trade-qualified professionals deliver on time and to specification.
