Glass Options

Glazing is specified separately from the frame. Any option below can be built into any window type above.

Tempered

Thermally toughened safety glass. The standard specification for most marine openings.

Default choice

Laminated

Two or more plies bonded to an interlayer that retains fragments if the pane is broken.

Impact & retention

Insulated (IGU)

Sealed double-glazed units with a spacer cavity to reduce heat transfer and condensation.

Climate-controlled interiors

Heated / de-icing

Electrically heated laminates that clear fog and ice from the inboard face.

Cold or damp wheelhouse duty

Frit-bonded

Ceramic frit border fired into the glass for bonded installations and a finished edge.

Bonded & flush glazing

Tinted

Solar bronze, solar grey and solex green tints to cut glare and solar gain.

Glare & heat control

Hydrophobic coating

Surface treatment that sheds water at speed and reduces salt deposit build-up.

High-speed craft

Acrylic & polycarbonate

Lighter-weight glazing with abrasion and UV-resistant coatings where weight governs.

Weight-critical openings

Frame & Finish

Frame materials

Marine aluminium

5000 and 6000-series extrusion. The standard frame material for most applications — light, corrosion-resistant and readily formed to radius.

316 stainless

Specified where strength, fire performance or appearance governs, and common on commercial and government work.

 
Bronze

Traditional cast bronze frames for classic and restoration work.

Replacing an Existing Window

Most of what we build replaces a unit that failed. We match existing patterns where they exist, or manufacture to your dimensions and radiuses so the new unit integrates with the cabin structure you have.

01

Measure the opening

Opening height and width, corner radius, sill height, bulkhead thickness and the existing frame detail.

02

Send drawings

Upload measurements, photographs, drawings or the template. Photograph the failed unit in place if you can.

03

We confirm fit

Drawing review within one business day. We confirm fit and glazing specification before anything is cut.

04

Fabricate & ship

Built, glazed, checked against the drawing and crated. Installation and on-site support available.

Construction Standards

We build to recognised marine glazing standards. Class approval is available on request for commercial and government work.

FAQ

Glass, acrylic or polycarbonate — which should I specify?

Tempered or laminated glass is the default for most marine openings: it resists abrasion, stays optically clear for decades and meets the recognised standards. Acrylic and polycarbonate are lighter and more impact-tolerant, which matters on weight-critical or high-impact openings, but they scratch and yellow without coatings. Send your service conditions and we will recommend rather than guess.

What drawings do you need to quote?

At minimum: opening height and width, corner radius, wall or bulkhead thickness, and whether the unit is fixed or opening. Photographs of the existing unit in place help considerably. A card template is the most accurate option for radius corners and curved openings. DWG, PDF, JPG and PNG all upload fine.

How do I measure a radius corner?

Measure the opening at its widest and tallest points, then find the radius by matching the corner against a set of drawn arcs — our measuring guide includes a printable radius gauge. If the corner falls between two sizes, send a template instead of guessing; a radius error is the most common cause of a unit that will not seat.

What are your lead times?

Lead time varies by configuration and glazing. Standard fixed and sliding units typically ship in — to — weeks from drawing approval; formed windshields and heated laminates run longer. We confirm a date at quote, not after the order.

Do you install, or ship only?

Both. Units are crated and shipped nationwide, and installation with on-site support is available. For refit work in South Florida we can measure on site.

Do you work outside Florida?

Yes. We manufacture in Hialeah and ship nationwide, including to yards and government facilities outside the region. Drawing review and quoting are handled remotely.

What warranty applies?

Warranty terms by component and application.
