Cold-Climate Engineering
Providence's Narragansett Bay location combines cold New England winters, coastal winds, salt air, and nor'easters. Glass systems require both cold-climate and marine-grade engineering.
Recommended Systems for Providence
Extreme cold requires specialized engineering: 316 stainless steel hardware rated to -40°F, EPDM gaskets that maintain flexibility at extreme cold, drainage provisions that prevent ice buildup and frost heaving, and de-icing salt resistant finishes. INFINITYGLASS cold-climate specifications address snow accumulation at base shoes and thermal contraction stress on mounting points.
