East Palo Alto Micro-Climate & Hardware Engineering
Due to the marine coastal fog, salt air, and damp ambient conditions in East Palo Alto, standard builder-grade hardware suffers accelerated oxidation. We engineer our installations with corrosion-resistant galvanized springs, 316 stainless aircraft cables, and sealed 13-ball nylon rollers.
