Coastal & salt fog
Salt air attacks the hardware before it attacks the glass. Every unit destined for an exposed elevation carries 316 stainless hardware and the marine powder-coat schedule as standard, with the gasket line replaced as a service part on a published cycle. The SC-40 MARINE screen range closes the loop on insect protection without a second material system.

How it is built
316 stainless throughout
Hinges, locks and screen frames in 316 SS — the grade that survives salt fog where 304 starts to pit.
Marine powder-coat schedule
Pre-treatment and curing specified for exposed elevations; the coating cycle is part of the documentation, not a colour chart.
Serviceable gasket line
Continuous EPDM with a published replacement cycle — the joint that keeps the salt out of the frame cavity.
Material & process
Hardware
Hinges, locks and screen frames in 316 stainless steel — the grade that holds in salt fog where 304 starts to pit — with the marine powder-coat schedule from the same pre-treatment line.
Sealing
A continuous two-line EPDM gasket, replaced as a service part on the published cycle, is what keeps the salt out of the frame cavity between the coating cycles.
Coastal belts of the four markets we serve — the Florida and Gulf coasts, the Australian east coast, South-East Asian coastlines and the East African coast. The schedule is applied per elevation, not per project.
In the field
What it buys you
A lower lifetime cost of ownership: the coating and hardware schedule is specified for the exposure, so the service interval is a date, not a guess.
The same hardware family runs the standard and the marine schedule — spares, training and the warranty all stay in one place.
The salt-fog hours are on the coating data sheet, so the specification is auditable by the client, not just by us.
Specified systems
All systemsScreen Doors
Screen doors are slim framed leaves — sliding or hinged — that keep an opening ventilated against insects and debris. SC-40 runs fibreglass or stainless mesh in 316 salt-fog-rated hardware, matched to the sliding or french range it pairs with, up to 1,000 × 2,400 mm: the standard for South-East Asian and coastal residential.
Lift & Slide Doors
A lift & slide door is a heavy-duty sliding system whose leaves lift on bearings before gliding, so a 3,300 × 2,700 mm panel moves with one hand. LS-60 delivers a 6,000 mm barrier-free opening on a flush threshold, for villas, resorts and hospitality terraces where room and terrace become one space.
Impact-Rated Windows
Impact-rated windows are tested glazing systems whose laminated core holds shattered glass in place under projectile and pressure loads. IR-80 is configured for large-missile rating in Cat 3–5 wind zones, with a Miami-Dade NOA / FBC listing path, and cyclone options for AS 1170.2 specifications in Australia and the Pacific.
Questions we get on this specification
Which markets does the coastal schedule serve?
The Florida and Gulf coasts, the Australian east coast, and the coastal belts of South-East Asia and East Africa — anywhere the salt-fog data justifies the marine schedule.
Do the marine hardware options change the price much?
The 316 SS and marine coating are priced into the quotation per elevation; sheltered elevations stay on the standard schedule so you are not paying marine rates for a north-facing wall.
