ENCLOSURES
The Cover Loft manufactures a full line of canvas products and enclosures. Enclosures consist of isinglass, which is a clear or tinted vinyl referred to as “glass”, that makes a see through window or panel in your canvas. We offer 30 gauge glass, 40 gauge glass, or Strataglass®.
We manufacture enclosures to your specifications and fit to your boat, if you are located in the Maryland area. We also can duplicate or repair your existing enclosure panels if they fit well and you mail them to us. Email us your measurements and we can estimate the cost of repairing your enclosure.
There are many kinds of enclosures. A full enclosure wraps around a bimini as a fly bridge enclosure, a hard top, or an aft deck. An aft curtain attaches to the back edge of a top and angles down to the transom, covering the entire cockpit area. It can be attached with zippers or hardware. You can have much glass or as little glass as you prefer. Side curtains connect to the sides of a top and can have a lot or little glass. Drop curtains extend from the top straight down to the deck, rather than at an angle like the aft curtain does.
