Coastal living is synonymous with stunning ocean views, fresh salt air, and the soothing sounds of the waves. But these same elements that make seaside homes so desirable can also wreak havoc on outdoor materials. At Lumacast, we design fire features that don’t just complement your outdoor space—they endure the unique demands of coastal environments, blending resilience with refined style.

The Unique Challenges of Coastal Environments
-
Salt Air Exposure – Speeds up corrosion and material breakdown, making traditional materials like wood and metal prone to deterioration.
-
High Humidity & Moisture – Can weaken certain materials over time, demanding constant upkeep.
-
Wind-Driven Sand and Debris – Causes surface wear and abrasion, affecting everything from furniture to architectural elements.
The key to maintaining a beautiful and functional outdoor space is choosing materials that can withstand these elements while requiring minimal maintenance.

Why Concrete is the Best Material for Coastal Homes
1. Resilient in Harsh Conditions
Concrete naturally resists moisture, salt air, and temperature fluctuations, making it a perfect material for coastal applications. Our high-performance, GFR concrete is formulated to endure decades of exposure without significant wear—ensuring your investment stands strong season after season.
2. Low Maintenance, High Impact
Unlike wood that requires staining and sealing or metals that demand corrosion treatments, concrete is effortlessly low-maintenance. When sealed properly, it withstands the elements with minimal upkeep. At Lumacast, we take this a step further with a water-based, non-toxic sealer that offers year-round protection without compromising environmental responsibility.
3. Sustainable, Smart Design
Sustainability matters—especially in coastal architecture. Our concrete mix incorporates 25% recycled aggregate, reducing waste while enhancing strength. Plus, we source all materials within a 500-mile radius of our San Diego facility, lowering emissions and supporting regional industries.
