Crew seals window frame on aluminum catamaran hull

Cosa tratta questo video

The construction of the aluminum catamaran Delos 2.0 reaches a major milestone as the crew installs the final hull windows, effectively closing the vessel’s exterior.0:44 The project utilizes 12-millimeter thick PMMA acrylic windows manufactured by Rutgerson in Sweden, chosen for their lightweight, shatter-resistant properties.5:55 To ensure a watertight seal that accommodates hull flexing and thermal expansion, the installation process requires precise preparation. This includes applying a UV-protecting "banding" strip to the interior of the acrylic and using Prep G+ as an adhesion promoter on the aluminum hull.9:22 Professional installers from Alfab apply dam tape to establish a consistent five-millimeter adhesive thickness and use construction-grade sealant to bond the windows.18:55 Simultaneously, the team coordinates multiple trades to install interior cabinetry, wardrobes, and galley components, emphasizing the need for structural reinforcement to handle the momentum of a moving boat.15:59 Closing the hull protects the interior from dust and debris in the boatyard, allowing for the transition to finishing work.22:17
