HOUDINI DECK HATCHES
At Houdini Marine Windows, we offer high-quality deck hatches suitable for all types of vessels. You may be familiar with our companionway hatches, as the world renowned and instantly recognisable Houdini deck hatches have been in production for over fifty years!
More about our companionway deck hatches
The boat hatches we offer are robustly constructed using high-quality materials and are fitted with toughened glass. When compared to acrylic glazing, which is used in most deck hatches, toughened glass will not scratch as easily or suffer from UV degradation. With an abovedeck height of a mere 25 millimetres, our boat hatches are extremely streamlined and cause minimum obstruction on the deck. Our standard boat hatches are silver anodised, however frames can also be black or gold anodised. Moreover, they can be powder coated to a specific colour. All Houdini companionway hatches are CE marked for compliance with the ISO12216 standard.

Customised deck hatches - in addition to our standard range shown above, we can build customised deck hatches to match existing apertures. Customised deck hatches can be made with radius or mitred corners and be trapezoidal, rectangular or square in shape.
ELECTRICALLY-OPENING TRADITIONAL BARGE HATCH
The aluminium framed ‘Traditional Barge Hatch’ has been designed to encompass the latest design trends of maximising the glass area and minimising the visible frames. This frameless illusion is also possible for boat windows. The skylight hatch comes as a complete unit ready to be screwed or bolted down to the existing deck structure. These deck hatches are manufactured customised to customers’ individual sizes.
A hatch with a remote controlled electric opener
The ‘Traditional Barge Hatch’ has been fitted with a remote controlled electric opener, offering a range of openings from 0 to 400 millimetres. This is done due to the common problem of hatches being fitted well above head height and also due to the issues with opening
these heavy boat hatches. This system makes it easy to adjust for almost permanent ventilation of the barge. In the event that the hatch needs to be fully opened for easy access or large items of furniture, a ‘fast pin’ can easily be removed to allow the hatch to be fully opened manually.
It is easy to replace broken glass on this hatch
The hatch is fitted with double glazed units to minimize condensation and can easily be replaced at a future date without any costly requirements of removing the hatch from the boat. That is the benefit of buying high-quality companionway hatches at your boat window manufacturer Houdini Marine Windows!
