Properties

Properties deemed to be within a ‘marine environment’ require specialised coating, protection and maintenance. A property is defined as being in a ‘marine environment’ when it is located within 5 miles of a coastal front. It is important on these buildings to take extra care when choosing the external elements of the building structure as they will be subjected to higher levels of alkaline’s, moisture and chemicals in the air.

Quality Assurance

All Hedgehog aluminium windows and doors come with a marine grade powder coat as standard so there is no need to worry that your windows and doors will not be able to withstand these harsher environments.

It is also important to keep in mind the higher levels of rain and wind that exposed properties in these areas might be required to withstand. Please read our article about weather testing to understand these classes in more depth.
