Luxury houseboat holidays with a stunning view

heroal window and sliding door systems for modern houseboats

Joylife Boats combine the advantages of a holiday home with a relaxing holiday on the water. A houseboat rental in Mettlach, Germany, has fitted six of their floating homes with large window and sliding door elements from heroal – for maximum transparency and panoramic views. For this purpose, the window system heroal W 72 and the sliding door system heroal S 42 were used.

The upper sleeping area is a special highlight of the houseboat: here you can start the day with a panoramic view, enjoy breakfast in bed with a view of the water, or watch nature at night. The window can simply be tilted inwards to let in fresh air. Foto: Studio Blickfang
The slim profiles of the sliding door system heroal S 42 blend in perfectly with the houseboat and allow the captain an unobstructed view to steer the boat safely. Foto: Studio Blickfang
The large glass surfaces provide for a pleasant atmosphere with plenty of natural light. The window system heroal D 72 allows unobstructed panoramic views of the water and the landscape. Foto: Studio Blickfang
