Porthole Windows, Into Your Home and Off the Submarine


More from the Window Replacement Gallery

Porthole windows are circular windows that are usually found on the hull of boats, armored vehicles, aircraft, submarines, and automobiles. Some contractors are even finding a market for this type of window in the home. Remodeled bathrooms that incorporate a nautical theme use these porthole windows often. They’re also popping up in upstairs lofts and home offices. Porthole windows are energy efficient because of their simple design, which consists of glass incased in a metal frame.

They come in various styles, with decorative stain glass or tint options. It’s also possible to get authentic portholes built for originally for modern sailing vessels. Window contractors can easily incorporate them with any room or décor. However, it’s highly recommended that you find an experienced contractor to install the porthole window for you. It can be a complicated installment.

Larger porthole windows are terrific for an upstairs loft or study. The window comes with a natural wood frame and hinges in the middle. This allows for you to open it halfway, allowing a breeze to come through the house; or you can open just slightly for circulation. The view from a larger porthole window is borderline spectacular. With a wider scope and more to see, it’s easy to understand why this vintage window is still popular.
