🌊 Coastal Corrosion Protection
Martha's Vineyard's exposed Atlantic Ocean position brings strong coastal winds, salt spray, and nor'easter storms. Marine-grade hardware is mandatory, and wind engineering must account for the island's open exposure with minimal wind breaks.
Recommended Systems for Martha's Vineyard
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.
