Alumac Industries’ latest window hood project was recently installed at Hunter Valley Winery, Allendale. The project features Architectural aluminium window hood designed by a local architect and manufactured and installed by the team at Alumac.
Key features of the project include:
Features
1. Sun Protection
One of the primary functions of window hoods is to shield windows from direct sunlight. By providing shade, they reduce solar heat gain, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce the need for excessive air conditioning. This feature not only enhances comfort for winery visitors, but also contributes to energy efficiency, leading to potential cost savings on business energy bills.
2. Weather Resistance
Architectural window hoods act as a barrier against rain and other weather elements. By extending beyond the window, they protect the window frame and are particularly valuable in regions prone to inclement weather.
3. Architectural Character
Beyond their practical benefits, window hoods add visual interest and architectural character to the building at Allendale Winery. The sleek minimal design enhances the facade and complements the overall style and aesthetic of the structure.
4. Versatility
Window hoods are versatile architectural features that can be adapted to various building types and applications. The unique architectural features of Allendale Winery buildings benefited from a custom architectural design sunhood project.
5. Sustainability
In an era where sustainable design practices are gaining prominence, window hoods offer environmental benefits as well. By reducing the reliance on cooling and heating systems, they contribute to energy conservation and help minimise the carbon footprint of buildings. Furthermore, the use of durable, weather-resistant powder coated aluminium materials can enhance the longevity of BASIX mandated window hoods, designed to be functional for years to come.
