www.lewmar.com Topside Glazing and Glass Openers The majority of our topside glass is flat; either monolithic or laminated with a UV-inhibiting interlayer. For front screen applications, 2D or 3D curved glass is available. Designers and builders are increasingly working to generate natural ventilation to minimise the need to run air conditioning while afloat. Modern trends in architectural design have seen a shift towards open-plan living, integrating inside and outside spaces. Recent technological advancements have led to a wide range of manual and powered doors and windows to facilitate a modern lifestyle aboard. Simple Slider Market changes have led to the inclusion of opening windows on ever smaller vessels. Platforms traditionally seen on boats of over 40ft are now appearing on boats in the 18/20ft range. This has demanded the requirement for a simple, self-draining sliding window often situated in the helm area. Lewmar offers both horizontal and vertical solutions for this application. Powered Vertical Drop For boats with sufficient interior space, a powered, full-drop window can maximise ventilation. As with all glass products, Lewmar’s design team will work with the customer to optimise the best solution for each installation.
