A Bondi homeowner needed an air conditioning condenser covered in a narrow side garden, tucked between the house and the boundary fence. The unit was small and the space was tight, so we designed, manufactured and installed a custom AC cover to fit both.
Designed around the unit and the site
The premium shroud measures 885mm wide, 380mm deep and 640mm high. We drew it to suit the customer’s condenser and the space it sits in, so it fits neatly against the wall without crowding the garden bed.
Custom sizing is the main advantage of a made-to-order shroud. An off-the-shelf cover is built to a standard size. Ours are built to the job.
Louvred for airflow
The front and both sides have six horizontal louvres at 100mm centres, giving the condenser open airflow while the unit itself stays out of sight. The solid top keeps rain and garden debris off the condenser.
The shroud sits on four legs that lift it 50mm off the ground, keeping the base clear of mulch and standing water.
3mm marine grade aluminium
Bondi is a coastal suburb, and salt air is hard on exposed metal. We manufactured this shroud from 3mm marine grade aluminium. It won’t rust, and at that thickness the panels and louvres stay rigid and hold their shape.
Powder coated in Dulux Duratec Zeus Pale Eucalypt Matt
The finish is Dulux Duratec Zeus in Pale Eucalypt Matt, an exterior marine-grade powder coat. The soft green picks up the colour of the house walls, so the shroud blends into the garden instead of standing out as a piece of equipment.
We can powder coat to almost any colour, which makes it easy to match a shroud to existing walls, trims or fencing.
Delivered and installed by Alumac
We delivered and installed the shroud ourselves. The same team handled it from design through to installation on site. All with a 10 year warranty.
