Alumac’s window shrouds (also called sun hoods or architectural blades) deliver both aesthetic impact and functional protection. Here’s how each style stands out:
1. Trendline – Custom Modular Flexibility
- Material & Thickness: Crafted from 3mm aluminium with an outward face depth of 25–50mm.
- Design Flexibility: Modular system allows long panels (up to 4m) to be transported easily and assembled on site.
- Construction Features: Assembled with machine-pressed stainless-steel studs that sit flush and become invisible after powder coating, finishing with a minimal colour-matched dome nut.
- Best For: Projects needing tailored profiles, adaptable configurations, and bold architectural expression.
2. Trendline Plus+ – Sleek, Modern Finish
- Build: Built on the same 3mm aluminium as Trendline.
- Signature Upgrade: Concealed fixings and welded gussets give a seamless, high-end visual, perfect for contemporary minimalism.
- Best For: Designers who prioritise continuity and minimal visual disruption in modern façades.
3. Modline – Minimal, Sculptural Blade
- Material & Profile: Made from a single 6mm aluminium blade, thin yet strong.
- Assembly: Max panel length of 3m extendable through our exclusive joiner and corner fixing system.
- Finish: Screws are virtually invisible, laser-welded corner fixing system create a clean, screw-free edge.
- Wind Resistance: Ideal for higher-wind regions due to its robust design.
- Best For: Minimalist architecture that favours crisp lines and low visual clutter.
4. Centurion – Heavy-Duty Architectural Impact
- Thickness: Built from thicker 8mm or 10mm aluminium, delivering serious presence and structural weight.
- Best For: Situations requiring architectural boldness or enhanced performance under severe weather.
