105m 'Lady Moura' gets window refit

Blohm & Voss' 105m Lady Moura has undergone a refit on her blind windows, giving them a striking new marine grade blue tint appearance. Wild Group carried out and advised on the choices for the windows in consultation with the yacht's captain.

“[The windows] were in desperate need of renovation. The seals were broken and air ingress was causing discoloration and delamination at the edge of the glass. There was also oxidisation on some of the windows making them appear red. Something had to be done,” said the captain.
 
He and Wild Group directors discussed options and chose a marine grade blue tint vinyl film for the windows. New foil was applied to 24 of the blind windows including some of the larger complex shaped ones. The silicone seal at the window edges was removed prior to applying the new foil and then re-applied afterwards to ensure longevity and optimum finish.

Window mullions were also in desperate need of replacement. Originally black anodised aluminium, sun bleaching had given them uneven tones of grey and  black. One hundred and eighty-eight mullions were lined in a black matt vinyl offering a UV protective coat designed to outperform paint. As with the blind windows, silicone seal at the mullion edges was removed prior to applying the new vinyl and reapplied.

“I’d like to say thank [Wild Group] for the great job the team has done. We are very happy with the result and looking already for other places to apply foil. The appearance of the old windows is fantastic with the new black mullions in between,” added Lady Moura’s captain.
 
“It is excellent to work with a yacht that is so accommodating. The captain and his team went out of their way to enable us to do a professional job, including supplying a crane/ access and first class food and accommodation. We look forward to an ongoing great working relationship with M/Y Lady Moura,” concluded Greg Hoar, director of Wild Group International.
