In Vancouver’s wet, coastal climate, outdoor railings must handle rain, salt exposure, and temperature fluctuations. That’s why Tenmar railings feature:
Marine-grade aluminum or stainless hardware
Structural safety glass designed for exterior use
Powder-coated finishes for corrosion protection
Engineered fasteners and anchoring systems tested for wind load and stability
Tenmar Advantage
