New Sliding windows for Pilothouse from Peninsula Glass

Post by NickScheuer »

have arrived. Quality is impressive, and I used to work for a manufacturer of top quality aluminum fenestration.

The pair of original fixed pilothouse windows for our Albin-25, the Du NORD are available cheap; buyer pays shipping.

How was the price compared to diamond sea glaze and others? How was installation?

Did not price others. Peninsula's reputation is that good. I am installing myself; one in, one to go; piece of cake.

Sorry, Mark, did not see your question earlier. The window price was $738 ($369 X 2), plus $20 for sealant, plus $40 for crating, plus$69.74 for freight, for a total of $867.74.

Having experience with a couple of manufacturers of quality aluminum windows for buildings, I believe the price is fair for custom windows having bent corners instead of miter-sawn & screw-fastened corners. The Peninsula windows use interior and exterior extrusions for clamping onto the fiberglass structure with Butyl tape instead of reusing the original rubber H-weatherstrip.
