Cable Railing Maintenance: How Does Atlantis Rail React To Incidental Salt Water Contact Or Spray?

Incidental salt water contact is not usually a problem, but contrary to popular belief, stainless steel can and will form spot rust if not properly cared for. Regions throughout the world show different levels of potentially harmful compounds in the water, and in some regions of the world, these compounds are highly corrosive. We recommend a process called electro-polishing as the best way to ensure that there are no harmful effects from incidental salt water contact or spray. Railings should never be submerged in salt water on a regular basis.
