A Cosalt Vienna 35 static caravan in New Quay, West Wales, has received a coordinated glazing makeover from Westcoast Caravan Glazing. The project combined double glazing throughout the caravan with a more individual alteration: converting a doorway into a window in the upper part of the opening.

The finished result demonstrates how replacement glazing and a carefully planned change to an existing opening can refresh an established holiday home. White frames create a consistent appearance across the caravan, while the converted doorway changes the side elevation without replacing the home itself.

A glazing makeover for an established Cosalt caravan

Owners considering a static caravan refurbishment often want to retain the home they already know while updating particular features. Windows are a prominent part of that decision: they influence the exterior appearance, the view from inside and how rooms feel close to the glazing.

For this Cosalt Vienna 35, the confirmed scope covered the caravan as a whole rather than one isolated replacement window. The finished footage follows the exterior from the entrance side around the front and along the opposite elevation, showing the coordinated white frames in context.

This matters visually because a caravan has several different window shapes and sizes. A successful overall design needs to work with the larger front glazing as well as smaller side windows, rather than treating each opening as an unrelated feature.

Converting a doorway into a top window

The distinctive alteration on this installation was the doorway conversion. A window now occupies the upper part of the former door opening, with the lower area closed in. The remaining entrance continues to provide access to the caravan.

This creates a different arrangement from a full-height glazed door replacement. The upper section remains glazed, while the opening no longer serves as an entrance. In the exterior footage, the narrower window sits alongside the other white-framed units and retains the vertical proportions associated with its former position.

For owners exploring similar work, this is a useful example of the type of alteration to discuss at survey stage. The details must be assessed for the individual caravan, including the surrounding wall, the required internal finish and the remaining access and escape arrangements.

A conversion should never be planned from appearance alone. Whether a doorway can be removed depends on the particular layout and the role that opening performs. Our static caravan door options provide a starting point for discussing replacement entrances and alternative opening arrangements.

Double glazing throughout the Vienna 35

The other main element was the double glazing upgrade throughout the van. The broad front glazing remains a defining feature of the Cosalt exterior, while the side windows continue the same white finish.

The project illustrates why the whole elevation deserves attention when planning replacement caravan windows. Frame proportions, the relationship between neighbouring units and the treatment of the front windows all contribute to the finished appearance.

Anyone considering a similar installation can explore our replacement static caravan windows. Product selection and opening arrangements should be agreed against the surveyed caravan rather than assumed from a model name alone.

What the completed video shows

The project video shows the completed exterior, including the front and side elevations, the entrance and replacement glazing.

• The white frames give the glazing a coordinated appearance.
• The large front windows retain the caravan’s recognisable character.
• The upper window in the converted doorway can be seen in relation to the remaining entrance.
• The views around both sides help show the scale of the overall upgrade.

These are completed-project views, rather than a recorded before-and-after comparison. They allow prospective customers to examine the visible finish without relying on a generic product photograph.

Considering a similar caravan transformation in West Wales?

The New Quay installation brings together two decisions that owners may otherwise consider separately: renewing the glazing and reviewing whether an existing doorway still suits the layout. Discussing both at the outset helps establish a clear specification before work is arranged.

When contacting us about a Cosalt Vienna or another static caravan, send photographs of each elevation and identify any doorway you would like to change. It is also useful to include the model, the holiday park location and a brief description of how you want to use the space.

Our team can then discuss the proposed work and the information needed for a quotation. Every caravan should be assessed on its own condition, existing alterations and site requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What caravan was upgraded in this case study?

Double glazing was fitted throughout the caravan, and a doorway was converted into a window in the upper part of the former opening.

Was the whole caravan replaced?

No. This was an upgrade to the existing caravan, focused on its glazing and the doorway alteration.

Can the same conversion be carried out on another static caravan?

A similar conversion may be possible, but suitability depends on the caravan’s construction, layout, condition and remaining access and escape provision. A survey is needed before confirming the design.
