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.

With pinpoint accuracy up to 720dpi and inks, that once toughened (tempered), become a part of the glass itself. VisionInk® represents the cutting edge of glass print technology and provides the most powerful resistance to scratching, UV light & weather deterioration and an easily maintained surface that withstands the test of time.

VisionInk® can replicate any image, design or pattern with brilliant accuracy, vibrant colors and sharp resolution. From simple lines to full color photos, VisionInk allows architects, engineers and designers to explore new possibilities in modern and sustainable design in interior and exterior marine applications.
