This editorial context comes from broad state climate guidance, not from the customer or estimate record. Massachusetts is categorized here as a coastal New England climate (salt air on the coast, nor'easter wind events, and a short but valuable outdoor season). For general screen system planning, independently verify product ratings for the regional wind exposure (high during nor'easter season), UV load (moderate), mounting surface, and local code requirements.
