replacement glass

[p6rob]

About two weeks ago I noticed one of my windows (rearmost) has shattered. It had been moored with that side on the offside, so no idea how long it's been like that, possibly up to a month. At the moment, the glass is still in place and as I was going on holiday, I decided it was better to leave it as is. I'm back from holiday now and keen to sort it out.

 

Can anyone advise contact details for the manufacturer please. I was planning on cutting some perspex but if a new pane is available off the shelf, that'd save some time. In the mean time, I'm going to cover both sides of the broken pane with some transparent film.

PS.

This picture is from when the boat went back into the water after Kedian Engineering had overplated the bottom and sides. I've been really pleased with their workmanship. Will do some sort of writeup about it if it's of any interest.

Quickest way is to remove the frame and take it to glazier or find one that can do it on site, local windscreen companys sometimes have vans that can cut glass on site.

It should be tempered glass and that cannot be done on site. when I did mine (not louvered) it took about a week to get the glass. local glazier cut the panes and then sent them off to be tempered.

You can cut laminated glass on site to fit, better glass as well, only cracks not shatters like toughened glass.

I got mine from the local double glassing company, I gave them a hard board template of what I wanted and how thick the glass needed to be and like the Pete.i's posting above it took about a week to arrive

If it's one of the louvered windows 6.4mm laminated glass should fit. Available from glass merchants and can be cut while you wait. Just get the top and bottom edges edged/polished.

 

If fixed pane with frame then 4mm toughened needed. Unless you can get 4mm laminated or Perspex.

Thanks for the replies.

It's the fixed curved window. From experience with getting curved laminated glass cut for my pre war car. It took a couple of weeks and despite giving them the original as a pattern, didn't fit. So I think I'll get a sheet of perspex and cut it myself.

Look for a local tractor/earthmoving cab glazing company. The standard radius for a 'curved corner' is 100mm and many boat windows are standard overall sizes.
