Lightweight yacht glazing and smart windows
In yachts and boats, weight is a very important factor. Wind deflectors, cabin windows, and sunroofs form large surfaces that affect the vessel’s overall weight. Our yacht glazing solutions made of hard-coated Aikon® PMMA and PC sheets offer an excellent combination of low weight, durability and safety. For added functionality and comfort, smart windows are available with integrated shading and privacy films, or info displays.
Aikon® glazing lightens your yacht’s weight
Aikon® yacht glazing solutions provide premium quality to cabin or deck windows, sunroofs, display screens, and wind deflectors. They help lighten your yacht's weight and improve energy efficiency. Compared to glass, Aikon® PC Hard and Aikon® PMMA Hard weigh 52% less. Choosing Aikon® glazing significantly impacts your yacht’s total weight and performance.
Elegance and intelligence with Aikon® glazing
Large glazing components, such as windows and portholes, significantly influence the look and functionality of a yacht. Glazing made of Aikon® PMMA Hard or Aikon® PC Hard is easy to thermoform and CNC-machine to the desired shape, allowing creation of larger or more detailed window designs. This opens up design possibilities for luxury aesthetics and improves onboard experience by integrating smart features such as shading, privacy films, and displays.
Better insulation and energy efficiency with Aikon® yacht glazing
Maintaining a cool indoor temperature takes up the most energy on a yacht. Aikon® glazing provides 5 times better insulation than glass, helping to regulate indoor temperatures with reduced energy consumption.
In addition, the hard coating adds a reflective surface to the glazing material, reducing infrared radiation. The need for cooling and heat built-up can be further minimized with an optional, laminated IR barrier. Together, these features make Aikon® glazing solutions a smart choice for improving energy efficiency and comfort on board.

Smart glazing solutions for enhanced comfort and functionality
Modern yachts are designed with performance, comfort and style in mind. With Aikon® glazing solutions, smart technologies such as shading films, heated windows and transparent displays can be seamlessly integrated into glazing. These features enhance the onboarding experience while supporting energy efficiency and a modern feel.
Dynamic shading at the touch of a button
Polycarbonate or acrylic windows can be laminated with Gauzy SPD shading films, which allow adjusting the window shade at the touch of a button. Enjoy clear ocean and sky views while reducing glare and light reflections in cabin, bridge, and deck windows.
Instant privacy with smart film
Laminating Gauzy PDLC smart films turns transparent glazing opaque in an instant, providing privacy whenever it’s needed. It is an excellent solution for indoor and outdoor glazing, creating privacy or transparency on cabins, lounges and bridge areas. When opaque, it also doubles as a projection surface, helping you make better use of limited space.
More information with transparent displays
Laminating transparent displays into glazing transforms windows into digital surfaces, showing real-time information, such as speed, the engine's temperature and fuel levels. It’s a seamless way to add functionality to a modern yacht design without affecting the visibility or safety.
