A Reclaimed 8in glass Aluminium fixed porthole, fitted with new ships spares toughened glass. These portholes still retain all the character and charm that is expected of original marine fittings. Perfect for use, display, retail & home design. Used condition with some cosmetic scratches and marks.

Whilst we retain huge stocks of old brass portholes & windows that we salvaged from old ocean liners and warships in the ‘good old days’, more recently we have specialised in these very impressive and practical aluminium portholes that we find on the mighty super-tankers and cargo-ships.

Being both beautiful and highly practical we’ve placed them into a huge variety of projects, from the inevitable houseboats & vessels right through to high-end restaurants and much-loved ‘amazing spaces’.

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

Overall dimensions are listed below, the glass size has a diameter of 15cm.

A Note from TM Owner, Mark Jameson - 

We always recommend you do not cut the hole before receiving the porthole, as with all original reclaimed fittings slight variations can occur. 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.
