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.
Benefits of the SHADE window
-
Rounded corners: soft lines that follow the contours 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 panels 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, blackout blind, fly screen, inner frame and screws are included. No accessories to order separately.
-
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).
-
Easy installation: the step-by-step installation tutorial guides you from marking out the cut-out to final tightening. Allow around 1 hour.
-
Approved and durable: ECE R43 approval, 2-year warranty and spare parts available for 5 years.

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.
