Fixed or opening glass?

The most common question we get, and it's worth answering properly.

Fixed glass is a sealed pane. It insulates better, there's nothing to leak or rattle, it's marginally cheaper and it gives the cleanest appearance from outside.

Opening glass hinges out on a catch, giving ventilation without opening the sliding door.

Most conversions use at least one opening window, and there's a practical reason. Two people sleeping in a sealed van overnight produce a surprising amount of moisture, and with nowhere for it to go you'll wake up to condensation running down the inside of the panels. Being able to crack a window changes that completely.

The common approach: opening glass on the side your kitchen sits (usually the nearside, by the sliding door) so steam has an escape route, fixed glass opposite.

Privacy or green tint?

Privacy glass is dark. The interior isn't visible from outside in normal daylight, and it cuts solar gain meaningfully in summer. It's what the overwhelming majority of campervan builds use — you're often parked in public, and a conversion represents real money sitting in the back of a van.

Green glass is lightly tinted, much closer to ordinary car glass. Far more light through, no seclusion. It suits day vans, crew vans and minibus conversions where brightness matters more than privacy.

For a camper, choose privacy in almost every case.

Why bonded glass?

All our windows are bonded — glued into the aperture with high-strength polyurethane adhesive, exactly as vehicle manufacturers glaze window vans on the production line. That's different from older rubber-seal systems, and better in every way that matters: structurally stronger, completely waterproof, and flush-fitting for a factory appearance.

It's also different from acrylic habitation windows, the plastic units with built-in blinds and flyscreens used on many coachbuilt motorhomes. Those have their place, but they're visibly aftermarket, they scratch and yellow with age, and they're less secure. Bonded automotive glass keeps your van looking like a van — which matters if you'd rather not advertise that there's a camper conversion inside.

Fitting your own windows

It's a genuinely achievable DIY job if you're methodical. The process:

• Mark the aperture carefully — most vans have pressed guidelines in the panel to follow
• Cut slowly and check as you go; this is the irreversible step
• Dress and prime the bare cut edge to prevent corrosion — do not skip this
• Apply an even bead of polyurethane adhesive
• Set the glass square and hold it while the bond grabs
• Allow to cure fully before driving

The two mistakes people make are skipping the primer and rushing the cure. Bare steel at a cut edge will start to rust, and rust that gets under bonded glass is difficult and expensive to fix later. Give the adhesive the full cure time the manufacturer specifies.

We supply everything you need alongside the glass — bonding kits, adhesive cartridges and sausages, primer, trim and fitting clamps.

If you'd rather have it done professionally and you're near Cumbria, our sister company Trade Windscreens in Carlisle fits van glass.

Windows and DVLA campervan reclassification

If you're converting a van and want the V5C reclassified as a motorcaravan, windows are one of the features the DVLA looks for in the living accommodation area. The rules changed in recent years and are stricter than many people expect — it's worth reading the current guidance before you plan your build rather than after.

Fitting side windows behind the driver is otherwise unrestricted in the UK; tint limits apply only to the windscreen and front door glass.

Next working day delivery

Order before 3pm Monday to Thursday and your glass ships for next working day delivery to UK mainland addresses.

Vehicle glass is fragile and we treat it accordingly — everything travels in packaging built specifically for the job. In the rare event something arrives damaged, we send a replacement out immediately rather than putting you through a claims process. Conversions run to deadlines, and we'd rather keep yours on track.

Can't find your van?

If your make or model isn't listed, get in touch anyway. Our sourcing network is considerably wider than our published range, and we can often supply glass for vans we don't list. Send us your registration and the positions you need, and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
