Coastal Corrosion Protection
Greenwich's Long Island Sound waterfront combines coastal wind exposure, salt air, nor'easters, and full four-season weather. Marine-grade hardware is essential for waterfront properties. The harsh nor'easter storms and freeze-thaw cycling demand robust engineering. The sheltered harbor areas of Cos Cob and Old Greenwich have reduced wave action but sustained salt exposure, while exposed shoreline properties face direct Sound wind and spray. Winter freeze-thaw cycling combined with salt creates demanding conditions for all hardware and mounting systems.
Recommended Systems for Greenwich
Salt air exposure at this coastal location requires marine-grade materials throughout every glass installation. INFINITYGLASS specifies 316 stainless steel hardware, marine-grade anodized aluminum channels, and UV-resistant sealants that withstand constant salt spray without degradation. All finishes are rated for coastal exposure.
