Integ Marine Group Launches New Corporate Website

Integ Marine Group is proud to announce the launch of its new corporate website — www.integmarine.com.au — marking an important milestone in the company’s growth and evolution. The new site reflects how Integ has expanded from a trusted specialist in marine glazing into a fully integrated marine solutions provider, uniting three expert divisions under one brand and one purpose. 

For over 20 years, the team behind Marine Window Services (MWS) has built a reputation for excellence across Australia and beyond, delivering precision glazing, repair, and refit services for superyachts, shipyards, and commercial vessels. That legacy continues as part of Integ Marine Group, alongside Integ Marine Glass and Marine Outfitting Solutions, forming a complete end-to-end operation that offers clients unmatched technical expertise and efficiency. 

One Group. One Team. One Seamless Service. 

The new website highlights how Integ Marine Group now operates as one cohesive team across its three divisions — eliminating the need for multiple contractors or handovers. This integrated model allows our clients to access everything from custom glass manufacturing to precision window installation and advanced interior and exterior outfitting, all through a single streamlined operation. 

“Marine projects often rely on multiple providers, which can lead to delays and inconsistencies,” says the Integ Marine Group leadership team. “Our model removes that complexity — it’s one team, one process, and one point of accountability. That’s what sets us apart.”

The Art and Science of Templating: Precision in Marine Glazing 

At Integ Marine Group, we understand that the success of marine window replacement hinges on meticulous planning and execution. Central to this process is templating, a critical step that ensures new windows fit precisely, maintain structural integrity, and uphold the aesthetic standards of your vessel. 

Understanding Templating in Marine Window Replacement 

Templating involves creating an exact replica or pattern of the window to be replaced. This template serves as a guide for fabricating the new glass, ensuring it matches the original in size, shape, and curvature. Given the unique contours and designs of various vessels, templating is indispensable for achieving a seamless fit. 

Templating Methods Employed by Integ Marine Group 

We utilise several templating techniques, each selected based on the specific requirements of the project: 

1. Mylar Templating 

  • Application: Ideal for flat glass surfaces. 
  • Process:
    • A transparent Mylar sheet is cut to approximate size. 
    • The sheet is affixed over the existing window using double-sided tape. 
    • Using a permanent marker, the exact outline of the window is traced, including any holes or notches. 
    • The template is labelled with pertinent information such as glass thickness, tint, and any special features. 
  • Advantages: Quick and cost-effective for straightforward window shapes. 

2. MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) Templating 

  • Application: Suitable for complex or irregular window shapes. 
  • Process:
    • MDF is cut and shaped to match the window opening. 
    • This rigid template provides a durable pattern for fabrication. 
  • Advantages: Offers a sturdy and precise guide, especially beneficial for unique or intricate designs. 

3. Digital Scanning 

  • Application: Best for curved or compound surfaces. 
  • Process:
    • Utilising advanced 3D scanning technology, we capture the exact dimensions and curvature of the window area with precision. 
    • The digital data is used to create a precise model for fabrication. 
  • Advantages: Ensures unparalleled accuracy, particularly for complex geometries. 

Step-by-Step Templating Process 

1. Preparation:

  • Clean the window area thoroughly. 
  • Apply tape around the window edges to create contrast for accurate tracing. 

2. Template Creation:

  • Depending on the chosen method, create the template using Mylar, MDF, or digital scanning. 

3. Documentation:

  • Record all necessary details on the template, including: 
  • Glass thickness 
  • Tint or coating specifications 
  • Edge finishes 
  • Certification requirements (e.g., ISO standards) 
  • Vessel name and window location 

4. Fabrication:

5. Installation:

  • Carefully install the new window, ensuring a perfect fit and seal. 

The Importance of Accurate Templating 

Accurate templating is vital for several reasons: 

  • Structural Integrity: Ensures the window contributes to the vessel’s overall strength. 
  • Weatherproofing: Prevents leaks and water ingress. 
  • Aesthetic Consistency: Maintains the vessel’s design and appearance. 
  • Compliance: Meets industry standards and certifications. 

Expertise and Attention to Detail 

Templating requires a high level of skill and attention to detail. Our team of experienced professionals is trained to handle the nuances of each method, ensuring that every template is crafted with precision. Factors such as sunlight reflection, complex curves, and tight tolerances are meticulously considered to achieve the best results. 

Commitment to Quality and Innovation 

At Integ Marine Group, we are committed to delivering superior marine glazing solutions. Our investment in advanced templating techniques and continuous staff training reflects our dedication to quality and innovation. Whether it’s a luxury yacht, commercial vessel, or sailing boat, we ensure that each window replacement project is executed flawlessly from template to installation

Despite the challenges of working in a busy shed with multiple trades operating simultaneously, MWS ensured uninterrupted progress by meticulously preparing all supplies and coordinating our efforts to avoid delays.

Challenges and Solutions

Working within the confined space of a construction shed presented unique challenges, including navigating around other trades actively engaged in the build. MWS tackled these challenges with the following:

  • Advanced Project Management: Detailed scheduling and preparation allowed us to anticipate and address potential bottlenecks before they arose.
  • Expert Coordination: Our four-person team worked efficiently to adapt to the dynamic environment, maintaining clear communication with all stakeholders.
  • Precision Execution: By preparing all materials and equipment in advance, we ensured a smooth installation process that adhered to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

Impact and Outcome

The Catamaran’s window installations were completed within a few days, ahead of the vessel’s scheduled launch in a few months. The result was a series of flawlessly integrated glass windows that enhanced the vessel’s modern design while meeting the stringent performance requirements of a high-end leisure craft.

This project exemplifies MWS’s ability to deliver bespoke glass solutions for innovative vessels. By combining expert craftsmanship, superior materials, and meticulous planning, we contributed to the realisation of this Cure Marine Catamaran’s exceptional design.
