Custom marine fabrication brings glass, aluminum framing, glazing, hardware and finishing together around the dimensions and functional needs of each vessel.

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.

Plan your marine glazing project

Every vessel and opening is different. A useful first review combines the visible condition with enough project information to understand geometry, access and the expected finished result.

Interior and exterior photos
Approximate dimensions or drawings
Vessel make, model and year
Current vessel or project location
Areas of damage, leakage or wear
Desired function, finish or timeline

For complex shapes, existing frames or replacement work, the team may request additional measurements, templates or 3D digitizing before fabrication.
