Paint and coatings suited to Nosy Be's tropical climate

A standard paint rarely lasts more than a year against Nosy Be's sun, constant humidity and salty sea spray. Facade coatings formulated for tropical climates, resistant to UV and mould, cost more upfront but noticeably reduce how often repainting is needed. For buildings close to the shoreline, an anti-salt primer is a worthwhile investment. Renovation professionals on Nosy Be now favour these specific ranges for hotels and villas exposed to sea wind.
