Heated
windows
International standards covering marine safety are
more and more exacting. The speed and the design of boats are constantly
changing and require the appropriate glass, irrespective of climatic
conditions.
In order to provide all weather visibility, Saint-Gobain
Sully is capable of offering several solutions in terms of window
demisting and defrosting.
Heating with conductive metallic layers (Electriplex®,
Antex®, Indiex®)
Heating with wires (Airplex®).
Voltage: from 12 volts to 440 volts (Single phase
or 3 phase)
Power density: from 3 W/dm2 to 55 W/dm2/p
Regulation system
Chemically
reinforced lightweight glass
CHEMICAL REINFORCEMENT AN ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGE FOR
MARINE WINDOWS.
By bringing together excellent optical qualities,
resistance to impacts and weight savings, chemical reinforcement
offers all the advantages required to satisfy the most stringent
technical requirements for marine windows: pressure resistance,
ballistic protection, electro-magnetic protection, acoustic, thermal
and solar protection, and complex shapes.
A few references: Norwegian patrol boats (Kvaerner-
Norwegian navy), Iris catamarans (France), 140 m Supply ships (Singapore
navy), Macau tricat rapid ferries (Hong Kong), Warships (Dutch navy),
Wauquiez (pleasure craft).
Curved
windows
With its vast
experience of numerous technologies, Saint-Gobain Sully is capable
of designing and producing windows with more and more complex shapes,
thus adapting to the demands of new designs in terms of pleasure
craft, luxury yachts or any other marine application.
These windows
can be clear, tinted or reflective. Several functions can be achieved
: defrosting and/or demisting, solar protection, electro-magnetic
protection, resistance to high pressure, thermal insulation …
Solar
protection
In
order to provide solar protection or for specific constraints (light
transmission, confidentiality, aesthetics...) our laminated windows
can be clear, tinted, reflective...
EMI
protection
The
electro-magnetic environment created by radars, HF and UHF transmitters,
and possibly high energy electro-magnetic impulses, creates interferences
for the on-board instrumentation.
Saint-Gobain Sully has developed a complete range of highly technical
products, always seeking the highest efficiency associated with
the highest level of transparency.
Acoustic
attenuation
In
order to provide the highest level of comfort to users, it is sometimes
necessary to protect one or more areas of a boat with acoustic protection.
(e.g.: windows next to the flight deck (aircraft carriers), near
cannons, etc.. )/p>
Saint-Gobain Sully is capable of offering you windows with extremely
high sound attenuation characteristics whilst still retaining other
functionalities (defrosting - EMI protection -armoured glass …).
Noise attenuation is measured in decibels.
Fire
protection
Fireproof windows are not only recommended for oil
tankers or oil rigs, but also for installation in all the sensitive
areas of any ship (e.g.: in front of the lifeboats).
Their purpose is to stop fire spreading and they
are classified in relation to the length of time and the level of
protection provided.
Saint-Gobain
Glass and Saint-Gobain
Vetrotech have got several approvals in classes A and B.
Armoured
glass
Over many years Saint-Gobain Sully has
developed high performance transparent surfaces for military applications,
in the aeronautical, marine and land transport fields.
Our Company has a proven capacity of
innovating and adapting to new needs. Thus Saint-Gobain Sully is
capable of offering its customers high technology windows in compliance
with the most stringent specifications.
Our ballistics laboratory provides us
with the capabilities for materials testing and for conducting approval
firing tests on request.
Numerous parameters enter into play when defining bullet proof windows:
The materials
themselves
The type of projectile
The window dimensions
The angle of incidence
The number of impacts…
Principal munitions used:
- 9MM PARABELUM
- 357 MAGNUM
- 44 MAGNUM
- BRENNER 9MM
- 7.62 ORDINARY
OU PIERCING
- 5.56 ORDINARY

- 12.7
- 14.5…

make-up
Privalite
Privalite laminated
windows offer transparency or opacity on request.
Privalite can
be used as:
An opaque or transparent partition as required
An opaque or reflective mirror as required
A video projection surface in opaque mode
Visual safety windows
Offered in various
compositions of laminated windows.
Different colours
available.
Low energy consumption
(50 va/m˛)
No special
maintenance required.
Good UV resistance
Framed,
fixed or opening windows
Marine windows
are often framed before being mounted on the vessel.
A peripheral
protection is recommended in order to protect the edges against
impacts and to avoid any humidity penetration or chemical attack.
The choice of
the protection to be used is defined jointly with the window frame
Manufacturer and/or the end customer.
Direct
bonding to the structure
With the development
of fast boats, the constructors are continuously seeking for solutions
to save weight on the boats. Bonded windows enable the structures
to be lightened as the frame is no longer required.
When mounting
windows by direct bonding, the glue is protected from the effects
of UV rays by peripheral silk-screen printing.
