  1. Hi Peter, I have not looked at caravan windows can you recommend a company ? My boat was born in 1988, I took out a window to reseal and found that the holes cut for the windows arent good at all 2 screws through the edge and pitting which had obviously happened a while ago and no rust had returned but the fit of the window is shoddy to say the least ! I like the idea of getting slightly larger window and start again. She is currently insulated with polystyrene which is gappy and let's condensation form. I did some research into having her spray foamed and was told it is not recommended on older boats and is very toxic, also I would need to rip out everything to have it all done at once which if I thought it was the perfect solution I would consider. Kingspan and the like also have downsides and are being called modern day asbestos. I am still researching and there is a lot of conflicting information but hemp and wool do not hold moisture they absorb and release. Wool naturally repels moisture, but I still need to find how this translates when it is made into batts. Thankyou
  2. Hi, Catweasel particularly, did you get any further with this ?. I am contemplating slimline double glazed windows, I found a website, buywindowsonline.com, I have not contacted them yet regarding testimonials . On my phone at least I can't see any on the website, do you know any recommended company's for slimline upvc coloured frame windows ?) also I have been looking at natural insulation, hemp and wool any recommendations /experiance of these products ?
