"TEA STAINING"
A brown discolouration commonly known as "tea stainling" may also occur, especially in coastal regions. There is no known cause for this and it can occur quite rapidly. It can be controlled by regular maintenance and while it does not cause structural damage it is cosmetically unpleasant. Click on "tea staining" for further information including recommended maintenance schedules .
The closer to the coast the higher the recommendation is for the application of a corrosion inhibitor upon installation and at recommended intervals to reduce the incidence of marking. Lanolin based corrosion inhibitors such as Pro Lan and Lanoguard can be purchased from most hardware stores or Super Cheap Auto.
