Replace/Adapt High Top Windows

Post by cleagarr »

Hi

I have a Timber Technicians (Nottingham) High Top with fixed windows. After a month in the boiling hot French sun I'd like them to open to get some air moving up there - the poor kids were sweltering!

Here is a picture of the window (the dimensions of the window - from middle of the seal- is 77cmx18.5cm): Image

Does anybody know how to do this or where to source such windows? I've been googling but not getting very far.

Cheers

Bumping this (only once, honest) in case there are any pearls of wisdom.

Look for boat ones - but they are not cheap as they have to withstand heavy seas hitting them. Portlights or hatches. Lewmar and Trend make them.

Just had a quick google - longest that I found was 630 x 180 - a little short!
