Hello all, on our boat we have channel glaze windows that are well past their sell by date. ( fitted in the early eighties ) We've been seeing quite a few boats now that have modern house windows that have coloured frames and that don't look completely out of place on a boat. Was just wondering has any one here got house windows fitted and if so are there any disadvantages/benefits to having these fitted. We are thinking of Coloured double glazed PVC windows.
Thanks
Darren

No I'm talking about the windows on the main steel cabin. I've only got a 6 ft canvas area, you must be thinking of another boat.

In my last boat I fitted caravan double glazing, it does not protrude very much so looked much better they were light oak in colour and aluminum reinforced I rated them highly no condensation on the frames at all.

Hi Darren
Do you want opening windows? The house type that open outwards would project past the side decks on a Nb and would be prone to damage.
Have you considered wood frames? I have teak handmade frames non opening with sealed units. I think wood is a good option but no idea how much they would cost. Mine were fitted when the boat was built in mid nineties.
Mine protrude a bit but if you look at dutch barges a lot of them have recessed wood frames in a steel surround. A lot of work but you do get very nice windows that way. .
