Materials Match
Salt-Air-Resistant Outdoor Materials, San Diego
The right material spec is the difference between a coastal outdoor living space that looks new for 15 years and one that shows rust bleed and stone pitting within two. We match San Diego homeowners with design partners who default to salt-air-appropriate material grades from the first consultation.
The Material Defaults We Look For in a Match
- 316 marine-grade stainless hardware on structural connections
- Porcelain or sealed dense-stone paving over porous, unsealed stone
- Hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated aluminum framing over raw steel
- Marine-appliance packages for outdoor kitchens within a mile or two of the coast
- Capped composite, PVC, or ipe decking over untreated softwood
For the reasoning behind each of these, see our full salt-air materials guide.
