Taco Metals Window & Windshield Hardware
Taco Metals Window & Windshield Hardware for Marine Applications
When it comes to outfitting a boat with reliable, long-lasting hardware, few names carry as much weight as Taco Metals. Founded in 1959 by Dave Kushner as a small Miami-based aluminum railing fabrication company, TACO Metals grew into an established metal and marine manufacturing full-service enterprise. That decades-long foundation in precision metalwork is exactly what makes their window and windshield hardware so trusted among boaters, boat builders, and marine fabricators alike.
Precision-Engineered for the Marine Environment
A boat's windows and windshield are constantly exposed to spray, UV radiation, vibration, and saltwater corrosion — conditions that will quickly degrade lesser hardware. Taco Metals integrates advanced manufacturing techniques to produce stainless steel and aluminum components that exceed industry standards. This commitment to material quality is especially critical for Window & Windshield Hardware, where a failing fastener, frame clip, or seal channel can compromise both safety and visibility on the water.
Over the past five decades, Taco Metals has built a comprehensive assortment of specialized marine products — including canvas and tower hardware — and boat builders, marine fabricators, distributors, dealers, and repair yards all rely on TACO Marine products to meet their design and performance needs. Their window and windshield hardware products fall squarely within this tradition: components designed not just for fit, but for long-term durability under real-world marine loads.
Manufacturing Capabilities Behind Every Component
TACO Metals offers a large selection of standard and specialty extrusions as well as custom finished shapes, and their CNC machine center operates 24/7, producing close-tolerance, precision-made parts. For window and windshield hardware, this translates to consistent part geometry, tight tolerances on mounting holes and frame channels, and finishes that resist the harshest saltwater environments. They offer full in-house design, engineering, testing, and CNC machining capabilities, as well as mechanical finishing, powder-coating, and anodizing for all custom needs.
A Brand Boat Builders and Repairers Trust
Founded in 1959, TACO Metals is a leader in the manufacture of marine products and accessories, as well as pipe & tubing, architectural railing systems, LED lighting, and their well-known sport fishing line. Whether you are a professional boat builder sourcing OEM-quality window hardware or an owner replacing worn windshield components, Taco Metals brings that same industrial-grade manufacturing standard to every part in its catalog. Their window and windshield hardware represents a small but critical segment of this broader marine ecosystem — hardware that has to perform flawlessly every time you are underway.
