Push window SHADE - Sliding door L2H2-L4H3 (Selected dimensions)

The SHADE Top-hung window has rounded corners and dark-tinted double glazing, and is ECE R43 approved. It opens up to 70° and fits walls from 30 to 55 mm (extendable by using longer screws) thick. Delivered complete: blackout blind, fly screen and aluminium mounting frame included.

Choosing the right size

The selector shows the interior dimension, i.e. the cut-out to make in the wall.

Recommended maximum cut-out dimensions by van (in mm)

* 450 mm on Master, Movano, NV400; 520 mm on Ducato, Jumper, Boxer, Sprinter, Crafter.

These values correspond to what the vehicle allows. The SHADE Top-hung window is also available in large sizes, up to 1450 × 550, for motorhomes, caravans and truck campers.

Reinforcements vary depending on the year and model: mark out the cut-out on your wall and check that no reinforcement, cable or duct runs through it. If in doubt, send us a photo and we will confirm.

The exterior frame extends 3 cm along each axis (overall dimensions: W + 3 cm × H + 3 cm).

💡 Good to know: the interior finishing frame is surface-mounted on the wall. It covers the edges of the cut-out without requiring additional space.

Why choose the SHADE window?

• Privacy: the dark-tinted glazing (30% light transmission) keeps the interior shielded from prying eyes.
• Double glazing: two UV-resistant acrylic panes that insulate much better than single glazing. It also helps prevent condensation.
• Delivered ready to fit: aluminium counter-frame and screws included.
• Adjustable opening: the window opens outward up to 70° in 3 positions and locks with secure latches.
• Solid construction: aluminium outer frame and counter-frame, for a sturdy, long-lasting assembly.
• Easy fitting: the step-by-step installation tutorial guides you from marking out the cut-out to completing the installation.
• ECE R43 approved: accepted throughout the European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is it compatible with curved van walls?
A: Yes. The reinforced aluminium inner frame adapts equally well to curved walls (vans) and flat walls (motorhomes, caravans). The slight gap on a curved wall is filled with Sikaflex.

Q: Is it approved for road use?
A: Yes, ECE R43: installation permitted without manufacturer approval in Europe, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Compliant with roadworthiness testing and VASP requirements.

Q: Can I replace an existing window?
A: Yes, if the existing cut-out matches one of our sizes. Measure the cut-out in the wall, not the visible frame of the old window. If it is slightly smaller, it can be enlarged with a jigsaw.
