A shed window is more than just simple glass. It’s the way to fill your shed with bright daylight and connect you with the garden outside. Using acrylic and polycarbonate guarantees both toughness and style.
A window in your shed is not just an opening. It brings light and air inside, bringing life to your garden hideaway or storage space. With plastic materials, you enhance safety and durability compared to traditional glass.
Plastics are the go-to choice when it comes to windows for your shed. Here’s why:

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.
Plastic windows are a smart choice for your shed. They weigh less than glass, making installation easier. Safety is another plus – they are much less likely to break. When it comes to insulation, plastic performs better, saving energy and increasing comfort. Plastic withstands weather changes effortlessly, and you can choose various colours for a customised design.

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.
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.
