As boat designs get larger and more complex in their layouts, acrylic hullside and portlight windows have become an important and integral part of vessel design.
The challenge remains to create ever larger windows which simultaneously accentuate the beauty and style of yacht lines, yet afford a more natural ambiance.
Acrylic hullside windows are highly complex since they must follow the shape of the hull and need be formed in such a manner they can be securely bonded to the landing on the hull.
Two types of bonding can be implemented depending on the design style of the boat: BACKFILLED and FLOATING
Since 2010, AcryliCo has produced over 33,000 hard-coated hullside windows. Of these, less than 0.08% have had claims under warranty.
