The Revolving Portlight of S.C.M. wins DAME - Design Award METS 2011

The Jury felt that the Revolving Portlight from S.C.M. delivered an outstanding combination of inspired practicality, delightful aesthetics and first-class engineering. The window frame of the Revolving Portlight opens and closes along the same plane as its fixed frame, eliminating the inherent problem in traditional portlight design - intrusion into the cabin space. A single rotation pin allows the window frame to be easily swung and safely secured at any position up to 110° to the left or right of its closing station. The Jury believes that this exceptional design-led innovation will offer new and welcome options for designers looking to maximise internal volume, most notably in relation to curtain positioning, as well as for boat owners who will undoubtedly benefit from the Revolving Portlight’s ability to provide highly flexible ventilation management .
