Design, user experience, and energy efficiency are essential in yachts and boats. Wind deflectors, cabin windows, and sunroofs form large surfaces affecting the design and aesthetics of the yacht. Replacing glass with a significantly lighter material solution not only improves energy efficiency but offers excellent shaping and customization properties. Transparent premium plastic material, Aikon® PMMA Hard, is an excellent solution for this.
Benefits of Aikon® PMMA Hard
Acrylic is an extremely clear and lightweight material for yacht and boat windows. Aikon® PMMA Hard offers excellent optical properties, allowing for clear visibility and unobstructed views of the surrounding environment at the sea. This is essential for navigation and enjoying the scenery while sailing.
High-quality Aikon® PMMA sheets are protected against the damaging effects of UV radiation. Aikon® hard coating improves acrylic’s resistance to UV radiation, preventing yellowing, degradation, and loss of transparency over time due to prolonged sun exposure. In addition, the impact resistance and rigidity ensure that the yacht windows made of Aikon® PMMA Hard are durable and resistant to wave pressure.
When choosing hard-coated acrylic Aikon® PMMA Hard as the yacht or boat glazing material, it provides:
- Significant weight reduction
- High optical quality
- High UV resistance
- High abrasion resistance
- Increased safety
- Low carbon footprint
- Cost and energy efficiency
Luxurious design with Aikon® yacht windows
One significant reason for using Aikon® PMMA Hard in yacht windows is its formability. With the high technology and expertise of Aikon® premium PMMA, it is possible to design and fabricate more complex shapes and larger windows for yachts.
Large glazing parts, such as windows and portholes, play a crucial role in the yacht’s design and functionality. Large glazing parts provide excellent visibility from inside the yacht, allowing passengers and crew to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding environment. This is particularly important for luxury yachts where the view is a key aspect of the experience. With Aikon® full solution we shape and fabricate glazing with care and precision to fulfill the esthetic and performance requirements.
