Marine glazing is specifically designed for saltwater environments with enhanced corrosion resistance. It features AAMA 2605 or higher coatings, stainless steel or marine-grade hardware, specialized sealants, and frames rated for salt spray exposure. Standard impact windows may corrode quickly in Keys environments.
For oceanfront properties in Monroe County, AAMA 2605 coating is the minimum recommendation, providing superior salt spray resistance with 4,000+ hour salt spray testing. Premium marine applications may use AAMA 2605-compliant Kynar/PVDF finishes for maximum durability.
Yes, all glazing in Monroe County must meet HVHZ requirements regardless of marine rating. Marine glazing adds salt resistance features on top of standard HVHZ impact and pressure requirements. Products need valid NOA or Florida Product Approval for HVHZ.
Marine glazing in the Keys requires quarterly fresh water rinsing, annual hardware lubrication with marine-grade products, and inspection of sealants and weatherstripping every 6 months. Proper maintenance extends product life from 15 years to 25+ years.
