What is a round window?

There are different types of round windows. These are: (opening) ox eye, oval window and of course portholes. They often appear on the façade of characteristic houses, or boats.

Do you have a round window and want to have better insulation? With a round front window you can achieve almost as good insulation as double glazing. In addition, you do not have to replace the entire frame, which saves you a lot of money and effort. It is also possible to darken your round window with a tinted plastic such as opal white, tinted or fluorescent plastic.
