Narrowboat Windows
We manufacture precision-engineered aluminium windows for narrowboats, available in single-glazed, double-glazed, and thermally broken double-glazed configurations. Our products meet BS6206A safety standards, ensuring durability in marine environments. Options include hopper, slider, and fully opening styles with custom sizing and finishes.
Thermal Break Windows
Our thermally broken double-glazed windows prevent condensation with an internal thermal break, maintaining interior comfort. Constructed with Super Spacer technology for durability, these units combine energy efficiency with the sleek aesthetics required for modern canal boats and Dutch barges.
Marine Portholes
Aluminium portholes designed for marine use, available in clamp-in or hidden fixing styles. Complemented by hardwood, fibreglass, or brass liners, these units offer both functionality and traditional aesthetics while maintaining watertight integrity in challenging environments.
Shower Door Systems
Low-height shower doors tailored for narrowboats and loft conversions, featuring pivot and bi-fold designs in powder-coated aluminium. Our made-to-measure solutions maximise space efficiency while maintaining watertight seals, with stock options available for immediate installation.
Window Spare Parts
Comprehensive range of replacement components including sealant tapes, catches, and gaskets. We supply Wespak-branded spares through specialist chandlers nationwide, ensuring long-term maintenance support for all window systems with technical guidance available directly from our team.
