FABRICATION

Duty:

Standard, Medium and Heavy Duty frames are available. Please review the « duty » options, as this is an important consideration.

Glazing:

There are three basic types of glazing,
A) Fixed/Opening windows,
B) Sliding windows,
C) Welded /mechanical Windshields.
There are variety of different glazing options available for each style of windows and windshields.

Trim Rings:

Trim rings are available in a variety of sizes and thickness. They are also available in many leg depth. Trim rings ( or finish rings as they are sometimes referred to ) provide for a finished interior look in the heavy duty line of windows .

Interior finish rings and / or aesthetics are usually not a high priority for large ocean going vessels.

Screens:

Ocean dynamics USA manufactures screens that are constructed of marine aluminum extrusion for added strength and longevity. The framing can be finished in the same finishes available as the windows. The screen mesh is available in black and gray.

Locks / Knobs:

Ocean Dynamics USA has designed a very unique and practical type locking system for sliding windows.

Depending on the height and weight of the sliding glass, lite knob pulls can be ordered and installed in a « hands friendly » area of the window, providing for better leverage when sliding an over sized glass lite.

Finishing:

Before you select a finish understand why aluminum is the most desired metal for most marine window fabrication.

Although bare untreated aluminum has a relatively good corrosion resistance, it is not recommended for a marine environment. To improve their corrosion resistance and enhance appearance, aluminum windows are available in various options.
