What is POLYWINDOW?

Using the name POLYWINDOW, TRUE BLUE CANVAS designs and manufactures a superior semi-rigid polycarbonate boat window for the customer who desires the best marine enclosure possible with the materials available today.

What is polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate is a shatter proof type of plastic which has many uses including eyeglasses, aircraft windows and bulletproof windows.  Due to its shatter proof nature polycarbonate is certified by the National Transportation Safety Board for transportation applications.  TRUE BLUE CANVAS uses only Makrolon AR polycarbonate in the construction of our POLYWINDOW marine enclosures.

Why Makrolon AR polycarbonate?

Produced by Sheffield Plastics Makrolon AR polycarbonate is an abrasion and UV resistant plastic that has a glass-like surface hardness coupled with the impact strength of polycarbonate.  Additionally Makrolon AR polycarbonate is also resistant to the yellowing and hazing found in other plastics used in the marine environment.

What are the other materials used in a POLYWINDOW marine enclosure?

In addition to using the best semi rigid plastic available for marine enclosures TRUE BLUE CANVAS uses the best fabrics and thread available to marine fabricators nationwide.  We use Sunbrella acrylic fabric and Stamoid vinyl together with Tenara thread.
