Examples of garden shed windows

Below you will find some cool examples of garden houses or shed windows. Easily replace the window of your garden house or shed with acrylic or polycarbonate. Both materials are stronger than glass. So ideal for example, for a garden shed where children are playing outside. In addition, plastic is more durable and safer. In case it breaks, it will not splinter. Polycarbonate is by far the stronger of the two materials, for example it is used in police shields, because of its high impact resistance. Both materials are available in both clear and tinted versions.

Thickness

When deciding on the thickness of acrylic or polycarbonate, the size of your window is key. Smaller windows work well with 3 mm thickness. Larger ones? We recommend at least 4 mm. It ensures a sturdy window that insulates well and lasts longer.

Installation

Start with a solid frame for secure placement of your plastic window. Hinges or magnet strips are handy helpers for windows that need to open. Always consider expansion when temperatures fluctuate.
