DuraShield Heat-R® - Wire-Free Heated Glass - Applications
Windows
Standard and oversize capabilities allow naval architects to custom design vast windows delivering space and light into a vessel with floor to ceiling windows, both curved and flat. Compatibility with Glasshape’s thermal, and printing offers – all in one window unit – make DuraShield Marine a versatile glass solution for pilothouse, hull, deck and cabin windows.
The advantage of specifying DuraShield Heat-R® wire-free heated glass in your marine windows, gives you the ability to venture into the extreme, without the possibility of losing vision of your surrounding environment, no matter what the conditions are.
Windscreens
Customized shapes and specifications to meet the rigorous demands of these most vulnerable glass elements of a vessel – normally the thickest due to Blue Wave exposure.
DuraShield Heat-R® wire-free heated glass adds another level of safety when navigating waters in extreme conditions, giving you a clear vision of what’s ahead of you.
Port-Lights & Dead-Lights
By definition these small windows between the waterline and first deck are normally oval or circular in shape, and less than 0.16m² (larger than this being Hull Windows). DuraShield Marine dead-light glass is a glass and polycomposite composition laminated together, creating a panel strong enough, that when broken, will remain watertight up to four times the design pressure. This product eliminates the requirements to carry traditional aluminium dead-light plates.
