Sliding marine windows provide ventilation in a compact opening. Two- and three-track configurations can combine custom frames, glazing and screens for the vessel.
Sliding Windows 3000 Series
Sliding windows are commonly used in the commercial and recreational industry. They are ideal for tour vessels and inland ferries in salon, bulkhead , and wheelhouse applications. These windows provide maximum ventilation when open, and become weathertight when closed. Heavy duty self locking, lock systems provide for a strong secure close in the locked position. Specially located flip locks mounted on the inside sill secures the sliders in the open position. These windows are also available with optional screens and interior finish rings. Also see screens and trim rings in our fabrication guide for additional information.
Our two track Vertical sliding windows have the same characteristics and options as our Horizontal sliding windows. They are commonly found in doors or in wheel-house applications.

Three-Track (3300)
For applications requiring a third track to contain an independently sliding screen or a third glass lite, we also offer a three track extrusion (3300). These windows are commonly used on large motor yachts for large cabin or salon side windows . They can only be used in applications where the bulkhead is greater than 2 inches in thickness and is also available with optional screens and interior finish rings.
Glazing for 3000 Series
The 3000 series windows are designed for glazing up to ¼’’ thick. The standard type of glass used for this application is « tempered glass » As an additional safety option, this glass is available in « tempered laminated feature. Another option is Acrylite (a high grade acrylic). Regular Laminated safety glass is not available in sliding windows. With these options there ar many available tints other than clear which include, Green (solex), Bronze, Gray , or dark Gray . For additional information regarding these options, please refer to Glass tints and option chart .
Sliding windows also require additional components which are a part of the glazing system. These components include our V-473 track glide, F-485 Wool pile, H-714 Knob/glass pull, A -400 Lock systel, H-722 Grommet, and the V-480 Foam tape.

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.
