More and more boat owners are having to replace the inferior windows on their boats with aluminum windows. Aluminum has a number of advantages over more costly materials such as Stainless steel or brass. It allows greater flexibility in design and requires less maintenance. For these reasons it is the most popular metal for manufacturing marine windows.
