F.A.Q.
| How long will it take to manufacture a window or door product? |
Our customers' delivery times are very important and the answer to this question varies. Delivery time varies due to the type, style and the quantity of doors and windows
ordered. Because Beclawat custom builds your windows and doors to suit your vessel or application, delivery times are negotiated at the time your order is placed.

| What is the difference between Weathertight and Watertight products? |
Watertight
A water test of 30 psi through a ½ nozzle at a distance of 10 feet with the water directed normally at the window. The duration of the test is one minute. The window is to withstand this test without leakage. A watertight door must withstand a 10 foot head pressure.
Weathertight
The same water test as the watertight product, however water penetration is permitted into the frame but must drain back out. The water must not enter the interior of the vessel.
For opening style windows, in most applications, a tightening assembly will increase the pressure of a synthetic rubber gasket to ensure watertightness.
As pictured above, a typical application will withstand up to 1.5 psi. Other modifications can be applied to achieve a higher psi depending on the style of window.
Many applications only require a "weathertight" style of closure.
To determine your needs of weathertightness, consult the vessel designer or call Beclawat's technical sales staff to assist you with your closure needs. |
| How do I keep my windows from fogging or icing up? |
Beclawat is a manufacturer of electrically heated windows, designed to keep glass vision area free from ice and fog even under extreme cold conditions.
Yes, this can be applied to new construction or a conversion from unheated to heated windows. Applications can be commercial, military or recreational.
Beclawat's heated windows can be adapted to the special requirements. 75 watts per square foot (7 to 8 watts per DM2) is the most common heating capacity and can be manufactured to suit AC or DC power supplies..
Thermostatic controls must be used for wattage's exceeding 75 watts per square foot.
A wire grid or oxide heating film are available depending on the desired heating capacity. |
What is self cleaning glass? |
Nano-Fusion is a patented protective coating that fills in and covers the microscopic craters on the outer layers of glass, giving it long-lasting resistance to water buildup and increased scratch resistance. This procedure creates a cross-linked bond (permanent chemical bond) that greatly reduces maintenance on glass surfaces. Ask your sales representative if this factory applied coating will suit your windows.
