We used a bronze style where the soffet was angled down on the outside.
Harder to install, but no water collected outside to pour in on opening.
A teak drip, or condensation shelf inside is a nice touch.
Be sure NOT to bed them with 5200 or similar , as they will need to be removed and rebedded every 7 to9 years.
*Dolphinite works best for removal.
1/4 inch glass is for rivers and lakes
3/8* is fine for inshore coastal
1/2 if you want to See the Sea.
