Choose the right size

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

Maximum recommended 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 alone is available up to 900 × 500.

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

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

Benefits of the SHADE window

• Rounded corners: soft lines that follow the curves of vans and blend discreetly into the bodywork.
• Privacy: the dark-tinted glazing (30% light transmission) keeps the interior shielded from prying eyes without making it dark.
• Double glazing: two UV-resistant acrylic panes that insulate much better than single glazing. The interior stays cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and condensation is reduced.
• Adjustable ventilation: the window opens outward up to 70° in 3 positions and locks with secure latches.
• Solid construction: a reinforced aluminium inner frame presses it against the wall, whether curved (van) or flat (Motorhome, caravan).
• Free to finish the interior your way: wood panelling, fabric or an interior frame with blackout blind and fly screen added later.
• Easy installation: the step-by-step installation tutorial guides you from marking out the cut-out to the final tightening. Allow around 1 hour.
• Approved and durable: ECE R43 approval, 2-year warranty and spare parts available for 5 years.
