With Taylor Mades Direct-Bond Welded Windshield Systems, glass is bonded to the outside of the windshield frame, flush with the adjacent fiberglass. This gives the system a clean, modern, all-glass look, despite the fact that beneath the surface lies a robust welded frame with a polyester powder coat finish.
Overall, this system is more cost effective than direct bond glass installations. It saves the boat builder time and money versus bonding glass directly to the fiberglass structure of the vessel, as well as providing structural benefits.
