Reclaimed Ships Aluminium Fixed Porthole – 12in Glass
Finish
Originally the portholes have heavy anodising on them to protect them from salt-water but we have stripped this off and highly polished them to a chrome look. Onboard a ship these face and open inwards and if you are doing the same they will not need any protection or occasional polishing but if you are having them facing outwards, ‘in the elements’, then the naked aluminium will need a light re-polish a couple of times a year in order to retain this chrome-like shiny appearance. The need to do this can be further reduced with the application of a lacquer that protects aluminium, the same stuff motor bikers use to protect their parts
Fixings
Customers notice that fixings are easy to find and due to the variety of nuts and bolts that can be used; dome, hexagonal, allen key nuts etc., as well as the individual way in which our customers approach installation we do not, as yet, stock the fixings but please contact up if you would like any help or advice on where and how to go about getting them
Glass
All of our portholes have marine grade toughened glass installed, strong enough to jump and down on, and if it was to break it shatters into small pieces not shards the same as car glass does. We hand-pick portholes selecting those with the least scratches & blemishes
