Source for porthole or other non-opening window for door?

Postby Oregon Brew » Thu Oct 25, 2012 7:20 pm

I guess the thread title says it all. I'm looking for a source to buy a fixed porthole or other non-opening window for door? (6"-10" or so)

Thanks in advance!

Square, round, oval? What shape? Seeing you are wanting fixed, you may want to search under "salvage port light" or "salvage passage light" as well as "salvage porthole".

As for fixed RV windows, many makers make them. Double paned ones are even available. as for the small size you want, that may be more of an issue.

BTW: A fixed window is relatively easy to make.

I got my windows on Ebay. Way cheaper than a RV or marine store

Actually I'm indifferent as to shape. I did see a pickup camper with a small window at the bottom of the door that was rectangular about 10" square. I guess that would be my (slight) preference. I will use the options you all suggest. Thanks!
