ESCAPE AND VENTILATION HATCHES

Hopper Windows
Fresh air without a catch
These new round windows with removable double glazed panes, are designed with
canal boats in mind. These narrow boats are particularly cosy, with almost no room
to spare. The round design of the hopper blends in perfectly with the trusted look
of authentic canal boats.
Available in two diameters of 4 /16” or 18 /16” (380 mm or 459 mm), our double
15
1
glazed hopper porthole is easy to clean and provides an unimpeded view.
Ergonomic clamps press the window firmly into the rubber seal, making it suitable
for design area III locations.
With the clamps unlocked, the Hopper tilts back slightly to provide ventilation. From this HOP
position the whole pane can be removed if required. The polished and anodized aluminum
frame is both stylish and maintenance free. It features a thermal break between the inner
and outer frames, to prevent condensation forming on the inside. The frame is identical to
the custom made boat windows to maintain uniformity throughout the boat.
