Window Options

Wesley Marine Windows are supplied with the following fixing options:

Standard screw in type with hidden fixings
Easy fix clamp-in type with no external fixings

Window Styles

Wesley Marine Windows are available in both hidden fixing and Easy-fix in the following styles.

Hopper
Top hopper style windows have been the popular choice for narrowboats for many years. The hopper or top glass drops back to allow for air circulation whilst keeping the boat interior dry and airy. As with all Wesley Marine Windows they can be supplied with either radius or mitered corners.

Hopper Slider
The hopper slider is identical to the standard hopper window except that the lower window, instead of ower glass, instead of being one fixed sheet, consists of two pieces of toughened glass, one of which is fixed and the other able to slide thus allowing for a greater area of ventilation, very handy over the cooking position.

Full SLider
Wesley Marine Windows full slider does not have a top hopper but consists of two pieces of toughened glass, one fixed and one sliding of toughened glass, one fixed, one sliding.

Escape Windows

Escape windows consist of a single piece of toughened glass sitting in a frame and fastened with two catches. When the catches are released the glass sits back within the aluminium hoppers and if required, can be lifted out. Replacing broken glass is very simple.

Arched Top Windows
Similar to the standard windows above they are supplied with an arched top, popular with many "Dutch" style barge builders and are available in either top hopper or top hopper slider. As with all Wesley Marine Windows they can be supplied with radius or mitered corners.

Fixed Bulkhead and Door Windows
No self respecting boat is complete without matching bulkhead and door windows. As well as adding a light and airy feel to the forward cabin, the views ahead can be glimpsed in advance allowing time to grab the camera and capture that stunning picture.

Portholes
To compliment our window range Wesley Marine Windows are able to supply portholes manufactured in the same aluminium extrusion as our standard units, either in hidden fixing or clamp on. For the traditionalist brass portholes are popular and available in a range of styles and sizes, both fixed and opening.

Window Colour and Finish Options

Anodised
All our aluminium windows and portholes can be supplied in a variety of colours and finishes, satin gold, satin silver, or satin black and bright gold, bright silver or bright black. We can even supply them in cream or blue and a variety of other colours, the choice is yours!

The modern anodising techniques used ensure that provided the correct cleaning procedures are followed colours will remain bright for many years. Seagoing vessels use anodised escape hatches which retain their colour in a hostile environment.

Powder Coating
A popular alternative to anodising is powder coating which gives a tough, longlasting and attractive finish in a wide range of colours.

Natural brass portholes give any vessel that special, old fashioned appeal.
