Boat Windows

Replacement Boat Windows

Clear Perspex acrylic and polycarbonate are excellent choices for replacing your boat windows as they are renowned for their exceptional strength. Both materials are ideal to enhance the safety, durability and aesthetics of your boat windows. These clear flat plastic materials can be cut exactly to your specific measurements for you to install them into your boat with ease. We can also provide customisations such as drilled holes and rounded corners should you require them.

Acrylic and Polycarbonate sheets are a safer alternative to glass, as they are much less likely to shatter upon impact, ensuring protection for you and your passengers. Both plastic types are also considerably lighter than glass, making them an excellent choice for boats where weight plays a crucial role. Additionally, they are more cost-effective than glass, as they are generally cheaper and less likely to need replacements. Our acrylic and polycarbonate sheets are highly resistant to UV radiation and saltwater corrosion.

Perspex® acrylic sheeting provides up to 92% light transmission, higher than most types of glass, so becomes a preferable option to glass for use in windows or roofing such as for boat windows. It is also much more shatter-resistant than glass.

Clear polycarbonate sheeting on the other hand is an ultra-tough, versatile material which is shatterproof. It has a wide range of possible uses, from secondary glazing to riot shields to external panels. This superior strong material can be purchased in varying thicknesses up to 12mm.

We also provide our boat windows in tinted acrylic, which is ideal if you would like to slightly minimise the light coming into your boat and reduce the sun glare you may experience from the sea. These sheets are safe to use as windows, as you can still clearly see through the sheet and distinguish what is in front of you.

Replacement boat windows are also easy to clean and maintain. All you need is some soapy water and a microfibre cloth to wipe them down with.

Key Features of Replacement Boat Windows

Excellent Clarity

Clear Perspex® acrylic and polycarbonate sheets give excellent optical clarity, ranging up to 92% light transmission, higher than most types of glass, making our clear plastic sheets an advantageous option for use in windows or as a skylight.

Versatile

Clear Perspex® acrylic sheets and clear polycarbonate are incredibly durable, so they are often used as a secondary glazing alternative to glass. They are also more resistant to impact and are shatter resistant, making them a safer option. Comparably, our polycarbonate is 300 hundred times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than our Perspex® acrylic sheets, as well as being shatter-proof.

Weather Resistant

With both UV and weather resistance, plastic boat windows can withstand most weather conditions so they can be used both indoors and outdoors. Perspex® acrylic has a 10-year guarantee which covers outdoor ageing behaviour as well as strength and rigidity.

Durable

Acrylic is ten times stronger than glass, meaning it is much more likely to withstand any impact. With a higher impact tolerance to acrylic sheeting, clear polycarbonate sheets make a stronger, long-lasting alternative to both acrylic and glass.

Malleable

Clear cast Perspex® acrylic sheeting is easy for us to fabricate and cut, drilled and shaped to any requirements, so it’s a flexible material to work with. The cut surfaces can be polished and sanded easily for a more professional finish to your sheeting.

Maintainable

All of our boat window plastic options are equally easy to clean, with just warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth needed to ensure a hygienic finish.
