Window CURVE 490 x 500 - with window blind and mosquito net

The CURVE Top-hung window has dark-tinted double glazing that is curved (5,000 mm radius) to match the side walls of vans. ECE R43 approved, it fits walls from 30 to 55 mm thick. Delivered complete: blackout blind, fly screen and aluminium mounting frame included.

Choosing the right size

This window measures 490 × 500: this is the cut-out size, meaning an opening 490 mm wide by 500 mm high. This is the only measurement that determines compatibility with your vehicle. Other dimensions are available on the product page CURVE Top-hung window with blackout blind and fly screen.

Maximum recommended Cut-out dimensions by van (in mm)

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

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

Each CURVE size is designed for a specific position:

💡 Good to know: the interior finishing frame is fitted proud of the wall. It covers the cut-out edges without requiring additional space. Just check that no overhead cabinet or lining obstructs it inside.

Benefits of the CURVE window

• Glazing curved to the van's radius: where a flat window leaves a gap at the edges, CURVE follows the sheet metal along its entire length. Less visible sealant and a clean bodywork line.
• 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.
• A complete window: interior frame, pleated blackout blind, fly screen, counter-frame and fixings are included. No accessories to order separately.
• A solid structure: the reinforced aluminium counter-frame clamps the wall from the other side and ensures even seal pressure all around.
• Easy installation: the step-by-step installation tutorial guides you from marking out the cut-out to final tightening. Allow approximately 1 hour.
• Approved and durable: ECE R43 approval, 2-year warranty and spare parts available for 5 years.

Choosing the right model

Curved or flat glazing?

• CURVE (this product page): the glazing follows the curve of the van side and sits flush with the bodywork. Ideal for Ducato, Boxer, Jumper, Master, Sprinter, Crafter, Transit and Transporter, from L1H1 to L4H3.
• SHADE or SQUARE: flat glazing, compatible with motorhomes, caravans and Campervans (on a van side, the approximately 5 mm gap with the sheet metal is filled with Sikaflex). They are available in many more sizes than CURVE.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does my van have a 5,000 mm radius?
A: This is the standard radius of the sides of Ducato, Boxer, Jumper, Master, Sprinter, Crafter, Transit and Transporter vans, from L1H1 to L4H3. If you are unsure about an older or less common model, send us a photo of the side and we will check before you order.

Q: What is the difference compared with a flat-glazing window?
A: CURVE is curved to sit flush with the side of a van. Flat-glazing windows, SHADE or SQUARE, can also be fitted to a Campervan: the approximately 5 mm gap with the sheet metal is filled with Sikaflex. They are also suitable for the flat walls of motorhomes and caravans, and offer many more sizes.

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