5Choosing a Covering in Bonsall
On most jobs, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Bonsall even where code does not require them. Coatings suit Bonsall buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Realistically, metal has grown in Bonsall for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. On most jobs, silicone coatings hold up well on Bonsall roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. This holds across San Diego County. Concrete tile suits Bonsall buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. San Diego County is no different.
Put simply, attic ventilation on a Bonsall property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. San Diego County is no different.

That is as true in Bonsall as anywhere in San Diego County. Core samples settle the argument on a Bonsall low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible.
