What this video covers

Sven Yrvind fabricates five window frames for his boat using Divinycell, a high-strength, submarine-grade foam core material.▶ 0:00 He cuts the frames in a concentric pattern to minimize material waste, noting that circular cuts would double the amount of discarded scrap.▶ 0:48 Each frame requires individual adaptation to fit the deckhouse structure, including trimming sections to clear the roof line and surrounding cabin geometry.▶ 3:39 The frames serve as protective housings for the polycarbonate windows, providing structural stiffness and shielding the glass from physical impact.▶ 3:33 Yrvind leaves a small gap between the polycarbonate and the frame to allow for thermal expansion.▶ 2:37 He plans to secure the frames with screws and adhesive once the final fitting is complete. The installation includes windows for the main deckhouse and the loft cabin on both the port and starboard sides.▶ 4:54
