Four quick questions. Most quotes come back the same day.
Brighton faces the open ocean with no shelter at all, and the housing runs from old baches through to substantial newer homes built for the view. Both take the same punishment. Everything metal on a window here corrodes faster than it does in town, and the glass has to be specified for exposure rather than for the size of the opening.
Everything gets the marine spec
Inland we decide case by case whether marine grade hardware is justified. Out here we do not, because standard stays, catches and fixings pit within a few years and the labour to go back and redo them costs more than the better parts did.
316 stainless throughout, anodised rather than powder coat where joinery is being replaced, and a three monthly wash with mild detergent. That combination is the difference between joinery that lasts and joinery that is a running repair.
Glass specified for exposure
Large panes facing the ocean carry wind load as well as weather, and a unit sized purely on the opening can be underspecified. On the exposed elevations we increase glass thickness and check the sash and hardware can carry the extra weight.
Low level and door glazing is a safety position under NZS 4223 regardless, so it goes back toughened or laminated. On a coastal house laminated has a second benefit, because it holds together if something wind blown hits it.
Getting to you, and what that means for the quote
Brighton is about 20 kilometres from the city and firmly inside our normal service area, so there is no travel loading. What we do try to avoid is repeat visits, because a return trip for a part we could have brought is wasted time for both of us.
Photographs sent with your enquiry help a lot here. If we can identify the suite and the hardware before we leave, we usually turn up with the parts on the van and finish in one visit.
