FYI
- All of the portholes open at least 180 degrees.
Real portholes can also be used to add a nautical flair to
your
home, office, restaurant, motor home, you name it... you
can use portholes in your doors and in your walls
(including the shower wall).. |

In the
photo above, the porthole is mounted sideways
(generally, a porthole is installed with the hinge at
the top). To install a porthole in a house wall, the
easiest way may be to mount it on a slab of plywood or
hardwood, and then build the window frame to accommodate
the wood. The portholes are available as a kit (which
includes a screen to keep out insects), and the
portholes can be accessorized with
portholes chains
(shown above, right) to hold the portholes in the open
position. Porthole chains are available in brass or
chrome. The most common portholes for door or home use
are the
round 10" stainless steel portholes and the
round
10" bronze portholes. Note: these portholes are real
portholes! They are very heavy duty - the 10" portholes
each weigh about 24 pounds. |

An alternative to a porthole is a
"dead light".
Dead Lights are
not for external use on a boat, as they do not contain
safety glass. However, for interior use and for home
use, a Dead Light makes a very attractive nautical
window.
