Specifically designed for use in marine conditions, the wipe-clean fabric is water resistant, UV resistant and solar reflective. As well as darkening the yacht interior, the blackout properties are perfect for retaining privacy on board. The Dometic Oceanair Skyshade Cabinshade also keeps heat out to maintain a comfortable temperature on the hottest of days. Suitable for mounting on curved surfaces.
The hardware is available in white or beige. The fabric colour is solar white.
Common Questions
Add FAQs for blinds
Anodising and powder-coating are both surface-protection finishes but where anodising becomes part of the aluminium, powder-coating sits on top of it.
Anodising is best for long-term marine exposure. It is an electrochemical process that hardens the aluminium surface itself. It doesn’t add a coating; it transforms the outer layer of the metal into a dense, corrosion-resistant oxide.
This provides superior corrosion resistance, excellent durability and low maintenance. Because it doesn’t add a coating, all welds and natural aluminium imperfections can be seen.
Anodising is the finish used on most high-quality marine hardware because it stays stable even when the surface gets scratched — the oxide layer simply reforms.
Powder-coating gives a nice, smooth appearance that covers welds and natural metal imperfections but is less ideal for harsh marine exposure.
Powder-coating is a paint-like layer baked onto the surface. It provides colour and a smooth cosmetic finish, but it is still a coating sitting on top of the aluminium.

Yes, in some circumstances.
Weaver produced several different models of hatch.
If your Weaver hatch has welded hinges and a low profile, many of our Cule hatches will be a direct replacement.
If your Weaver hatch has black friction hinges and a higher upstand, we will have similar sized hatches, but they are not a direct replacement. We can still assist but we need to discuss first.
