Windows That Stand Up to Coastal Weather

Oct 29, 2025 | Latest

Living by the coast means enjoying stunning views and staying close to nature. But it also means dealing with salt air, strong winds, and constant moisture. In places like the Pacific Northwest, choosing windows that can withstand these elements isn’t just a design decision, it’s a structural imperative.

Salt Air Corrosion Resistance
Salt in the air is tough on building materials. It can rust metal, damage finishes, and shorten the life of standard window frames. That’s why Westeck uses coastal-grade aluminum and PVC frames with advanced corrosion-resistant coatings. These finishes are tested to handle harsh marine conditions and keep their strength and appearance over time. Whether your home faces the Puget Sound or the Strait of Georgia, Westeck windows offer lasting protection.

Strength Against Wind
Coastal storms bring more than rain; they bring powerful winds. Wind load ratings help ensure windows stay secure during high-pressure weather. Westeck’s windows meet and exceed local building codes. They feature reinforced frames and optional impact-resistant glass for extra safety. In Point Roberts, Washington, Westeck windows have held strong in this custom home, through seasonal gusts, without sacrificing style.

Smart Moisture Control
Moisture can quietly damage your home. It can cause mold, rot, and structural issues. Westeck’s windows are designed to manage water with smart drainage channels, sealed corners, and precision sills. In rainy places like Clyde Hill, Washington, these features help keep interiors dry and healthy while still offering beautiful views.

  • Caring for Your Westeck Windows & Patio Doors
    To clean the glass, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild soap. Dish soap is a cost-effective choice for outdoor window cleaning because it's gentle on glass and can effectively cut through dirt and grime.  Avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, they can scratch the surface or damage coatings. For best results, clean on a cloudy day to prevent streaks from sunlight drying the cleaner too fast. Wipe in a circular motion, then finish with a dry microfiber cloth for a clear, polished look.
