 1000 series |

Fixed windows are used in many types of applications ranging from the small/ midsize recreational
and offshore workboats, to the heavy commercial and military vessels. These windows are available
in standard, medium, heavy duty, and can have either mitered or radius corners. The 1000 series
fixed windows are waterproof and meet CG/ISO 12216 testing specifications.
The radius or mitered corner welded frame window, insures for a strong and water-proof fixed window, designed to withstand rough sea going conditions. Glazing from 1/8" to ¼" in most common applications and 3/8" to ½" in more demanding marine environments, insure a very high breaking strength. The seamless welded frames are designed for exterior mounting (outside-in) with screw-through holes provided in the 1" flange. Matching interior trim-rings are available in many different sizes. (customer should specify bulk-head limitations to insure correct width and/or leg size of trim-ring). For the heavy duty line of windows, a more modest, self-finishing, bolt on trim ring comes standard as a part of the basic window structure. Glazing for 1000 & 2000 series The 1000 and 2000 series windows are designed for glazing up to ½" thick. However the most common thickness of glass in standard windows is 3/16" - ¼" . For larger ocean going vessels 3/8" or thicker is appropriate. The standard type of glass used in these applications is "tempered glass". As an additional safety option, this glass is available in "tempered laminated glass" which offers the strength of tempered glass combined with the safety laminated feature. Other options include regular Laminated safety glass (plate glass with a laminate filler), or acrylite (a high grade acrylic). With these options there are many available tints other than clear which include, Green (solex), Bronze, Gray, or dark Gray. For additional information regarding these options, please refer to Glazing in our fabrication guide. |
