UPVC Shipping Container Window – Double Glazed, Tilt & Turn
Our UPVC Shipping Container Window unit delivers a reliable, robust and thermally efficient solution for introducing natural light and controlled ventilation into shipping containers used across the self storage sector. Designed specifically for container conversions, this window is double glazed for enhanced insulation and fitted with a practical tilt & turn mechanism that allows both secure ventilation and smooth full opening when required.
Whether you’re creating container-based offices, customer reception areas or secure operational hubs on a self storage site, this window unit combines performance with ease of installation.
Built for Self Storage Container Applications
Shipping containers adapted for self storage often require windows that balance security, airflow and comfort. This UPVC window meets those needs with its durable frame, energy-efficient glazing and versatile opening options.
The tilt & turn operation lets you open the window fully when maximum access is needed, or tilt it at the top for controlled ventilation — a valuable feature in container offices, site control rooms and customer areas that benefit from airflow without compromising safety.
In self storage settings where container environments can become warm or stuffy, ventilated windows play a practical role in improving internal conditions.
Tough, Thermally Efficient UPVC Construction
The UPVC frame provides a strong, long-lasting solution that resists corrosion and maintains performance in outdoor conditions. UPVC is widely used in construction thanks to its low maintenance, weather resistance and thermal stability.
Double glazing enhances insulation and reduces heat loss, making this window suitable for spaces where comfort and energy performance matter — particularly in office or staff areas inside container conversions.
Tilt & Turn Function for Ventilation and Access
A key advantage of this window is its tilt & turn mechanism:
-
Tilt Function: The top of the window tilts inward to allow ventilation while maintaining security.
-
Turn Function: The full opening swing lets you use the window as an access point or for maximum airflow.
This flexibility makes the unit particularly useful in container conversions where both ventilation and natural access are desirable.
Easy Installation for Trade and Self Storage Operators
This UPVC container window has been designed for simplicity of fitment once the container aperture is prepared. Its construction supports straightforward installation by experienced installers or on-site teams working across multiple units during site fit-outs.
For practical guidance, an installation video guide is available to help ensure a professional finish with confidence.
