Thermal Resistant Marine Grade Glass
Ezone Marine® thermal resistant marine grade glass is a technologically advanced glazing solution to help moderate inbound solar heat gain in a super-yacht or other luxury marine vessel. Perfect for pilot houses or any area on a vessel that experiences excessive exposure to the sun. It is a quality alternative to double glazed units potentially contributing to significant weight, and on-going fuel savings.
A pyrolytic process embeds invisible heat-reflective materials to the glass, allowing light to enter, but reflecting much of the inbound heat. It is possible to configure Ezone Marine to maximize heat retention for vessels in cooler climates.
Specifying Ezone Marine with DuraShield Marine® delivers all the benefits of exceptional thermal performance and the ultimate in strength and clarity. It can be supplied in laminated form that may eliminate the need for storm covers, or monolithic tempered (toughened) form which may require storm covers.

Ezone Marine® - 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.
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.
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.
Ezone Marine® - Superior Laminating Technology
Ezone Marine® shares the same superior Laminating Technology as DuraShield Marine®. Specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of exterior marine applications, the DuraShield Marine® portfolio is fully certified and is set apart from the competition by its high-performance interlayer. The laminate technology overcomes delamination typically displayed in marine windows and windshields, while delivering exceptional strength and clarity.
Whether monolithic, laminated or multi-laminated, each pane is engineered to meet Client specific requirements. With more than a decade of proven capabilities in the manufacture of marine grade glass to boat yards the world over, DuraShield Marine® has an international reputation for quality, performance, durability and safety, making it perfect for new build and refit projects alike.
VisionInk® - Digitally Printed Edge Banding
Digitally Pinted Ceramic Ink
With pinpoint accuracy up to 720dpi and inks, that once tempered (toughened), 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.
