The Dreamer Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Anyone able to identify what brand these windows are and/or where I might get seat rubber to this profile? I really need to get all 15 reseated before the weather gets much colder, and several have significant quantities of the seal missing, but after hours of searching, I just cannot find it anywhere!

rusty69 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I don't know the windows, but these guys are often recommended if someone doesn't recognise them https://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepartmentId=4#75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bastion Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Looks like the ones fitted to Oxfordshire narrow boats, believe the manufacturer was on the K&A but have ceased trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celiaken Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 They look very much like Worcester Marine windows. unfortunately no longer trading. (retirement). There was a company trading at Bradford on Avon selling parts etc for these windows. I don't know if they are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would figure, as they are in an Alvechurch boat! 23 minutes ago, celiaken said: There was a company trading at Bradford on Avon I’ll see if I can find them then...

bastion Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I think Oxfordshire narrow boats brought up all the old stock for their fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celiaken Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Is the rubber in the second picture from the bottom of the frame? If it is, I can match it from mine and contact a local window firm who may be able to source some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be useful, if you could, thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you send them pictures/drawings and maybe a sample they’ll sometimes be able to make a short run to create what you need. Talk to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celiaken Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 My windows do not have the rubber profile running along sides and bottom, but bottom only, between the drain holes, with a flat section four inches long fitted just below the fasteners. I have taken a section of the rubber and will give it to my contact tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celiaken Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 reply has come back already...... He says contact adpol.co.uk phone 01903 820461 with sizes, they can make up the profile and length you need. Mine are 'D' profile, 15mm wide, 10mm high, with a 'groove' cut into the flat side 3mm deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
