Can wooden doors withstand coastal salt air and strong UV exposure?

Coastal projects need three protections: a dimensionally stable core, a UV-stabilised topcoat, and corrosion-resistant hardware (stainless steel or properly coated). Direct sun through glazing will fade and dry any timber finish over time, so shading or UV-filtering films help. For sea-facing balconies and pool-side openings we usually recommend WPC or aluminium-clad systems rather than exposed solid timber.
