This is for my Roofing expert friends:
Have a family housing project on a Pacific Island. The building walls and roof will be cast-in-place concrete. We need a roofing system, (coating, sheet or other, we are open right now) that will be UV resistant, corrosion resistant, and wind resistant. The roof is a hip roof with low slope and they want to wrap the finish around the fascia and soffit. Any suggestions welcome. |

Depending on specific location, a metal panel roofing system (either exposed fastener or standing seam) may do the job. |

I agree with J Peter. The attachments can be detailed to handle whatever wind conditions will be encountered. A good fluoropolymer finish will protect the metal in almost all cases. I would avoid a dark or saturated color though as it will fade with intensive exposure to sunlight. |

We see a lot of use of fluid applied membranes over plywood sheathing in the Caribbean. It's a low expertise application that is hurricane / cyclone friendly. I don't have fascia details but could get some - reach out if you need.
