The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

re the glass panels: that is why i mentioned the film that forms from sea spray.That film is not strictly inorganic so can get molds growing in parts not exposed to sunlight.

stainless steel parts will probably fare ok but anything made from aluminum will corrode (i.e. frames). If rivets are not made from corrosion resistant materials, then they eventually loosen.

There tends to be a lot of environmental wear to objects located on beaches and windows, including frames, need to be constantly washed. Cars residing at beach front residences can have similar corrosion problems to those residing in Michigan with a few extras. A friend had her Mercedes convertible coupe parked in a garage at her beach house. She hadnt driven it for several weeks and when she went to take it for a drive discovered that the inside was completely molded.
