What are boat windows?

Boat windows are clear panes fitted into your vessel. Whether you own a small dinghy or a luxury yacht, they are crucial. The material must be robust enough to handle the harsh conditions at sea and withstand intense sunlight. This is where plastics come into their own. They are durable, weather-resistant, and significantly lighten your boat compared to traditional glass.

Why choose plastic boat windows?

Plastic windows for your boat offer numerous benefits. They are considerably lighter than glass, making installation and replacement a breeze. Their impact resistance ensures they can withstand hefty gusts of wind and unexpected knocks. They also provide excellent UV protection, ensuring long-lasting clarity. Moisture isn’t an issue; these materials are wonderfully water-resistant. Above all, plastic boat windows are flexible in form and size—customisation is the standard.
