🔧 On the Fit – Worcester Marina, Worcester

Another beautiful narrowboat has just been transformed. ✅

This time we were at Worcester Marina fitting a full set of our thermally broken full hopper windows with dark grey tinted glass to Narrowboat Buru Island.

Swipe through the photos to see the transformation from the original windows to the finished installation.

It was lovely to receive this message from Chris and Debbie after the fitting:

"Firstly I would like to thank you for fitting our windows yesterday. Chris said that the lads were superb. The windows look amazing and make such a difference to the boat."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chris & Debbie Allen

The customer chose to retain and refit their existing internal timber trims, which is often possible depending on the boat and the condition of the existing trims.

Thank you for choosing Channelglaze. We wish you many happy years cruising aboard Buru Island.

Thinking about upgrading your boat windows? We'd be delighted to help.

🎉 This month, Channelglaze celebrates 47 years in business! 🎉

Since 1979, we've been proud to remain a family-run business, designing and manufacturing aluminium windows for the UK's inland waterways.

Over the past 47 years we've seen countless changes in the industry, but one thing has always stayed the same – our commitment to quality, innovation and looking after our customers.

We'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years – our customers, suppliers, staff (past and present), and the wider boating community. Your trust and loyalty have made this milestone possible.

Here's to the next chapter and many more years ahead.

Thank you for being part of our journey. ❤️

📍 On the Measure – Shakespeare Marina, Stratford-upon-Avon

Another beautiful day out on the waterways! ☀️

Today, Matt was at Shakespeare Marina measuring a narrowboat for a complete upgrade to our thermally broken double glazed windows.

It was also great to catch up with Lorraine, the Marina Manager. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Every boat we work on is individually measured, allowing each window to be manufactured specifically for that boat and helping to ensure a precise fit when installation day arrives.

We're looking forward to returning in the coming weeks to complete the transformation and will be sure to share some photos once the new windows are installed.

⭐ Channelglaze Customer Story

A complete transformation.

Fresh from a beautiful new paint job at Mills Dockyard, Long Eaton, Narrowboat Mallard was ready for the finishing touches before returning to her home mooring at Shardlow Marina, Derby.

We were proud to complete the project by supplying and fitting a full set of our thermally broken windows, together with new solid oak internal trims.

After the installation, Lisa sent us this lovely message:

"Amazing experience from all of you!! Our new windows are fab!!!"

She also had some wonderful things to say about our team:

"Matt, Sam and John were fantastic! Their attention to detail, care and quality finish is second to none!"

One part of Lisa's message particularly meant a lot to us:

"You adjusted, helped us and have ensured our windows will last us our lifetime on our boat."

As a small family business, it's incredibly rewarding to know we've helped complete such an important project and made a lasting difference to someone's home on the water.

Thank you, Lisa, for your kind words and for trusting Channelglaze.

If you're planning a repaint, restoration or simply thinking about upgrading your boat windows, we'd be delighted to help.

🚤 Another quality installation by Channelglaze!

We recently fitted gold anodised thermal break windows and portholes to the beautifully repainted narrowboat Bella at North Kilworth Marina.

Not only do they look fantastic, but our thermal break windows help keep boats cooler during the summer, warmer in the winter, and reduce condensation all year round.

A pleasure to be part of this project – we wish the owners of Bella many happy years on the water!

When Alan started thinking about replacing the windows on Narrowboat Tranquillity V, he didn't begin by looking for a window company.

Instead, he asked fellow boat owners.

Two friends who had already upgraded their boats with our thermal break windows both told him the same thing:

"Warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer – go for it!"

So he did.

Pictured here at Crick Marina, Alan recently put those claims to the test during a two-week cruise in June's hot weather.

His verdict?

☀️ "Our trip in June proved that the 'cooler in the summer' predictions were correct."

As well as making the boat more comfortable, Alan discovered an unexpected bonus. The new full hopper windows made the boat feel bigger and more open inside.

Thank you to Alan for sharing his experience and photos of Tranquillity V 🙏

Real boat. Real owner. Real results. 👍
