Aluminium air conditioner cover, built for the coast
The Vortex cover is our standard AC shroud. It hides the outdoor unit, keeps it out of direct sun and rain, and makes a balcony or courtyard look finished.
It’s made from 2mm aluminium and powder coated in-house, so it won’t rust, even close to the water. Your neighbours (and your body corporate) will thank you.
Designed around the unit
- Free-standing. Nothing is fixed to the condenser, so the manufacturer’s warranty stays intact.
- Open base. Defrost water and condensate drain straight out.
- Open rear. The unit keeps the rear clearance it needs.
- Easy servicing. The front panel lifts off when a technician needs access, with quick-release.
Choose your colour
Enter your colour in the field above when you order. We powder coat to Colorbond and Dulux colours, so the colour name or code is all we need (e.g. Colorbond Monument).

These four sizes suit around 85% of split system condensers in the 4kW to 10kW range. Measure your unit, check the installation manual for the clearances it needs, then pick the size that gives it room.
Need something different? We also make custom sizes.
Add SplitStream™ later
SplitStream™ is our patent-pending airflow system. It stops hot exhaust air being drawn back into the condenser.
The Vortex cover is built so SplitStream™ can be retrofitted. Purchase yours ready installed with SplitStream™, or start with the standard cover now and upgrade if your needs change down the track.
Made in Sydney
Every Alumac Vortex cover is designed and made at our Taren Point factory and backed by a 10-year warranty. We deliver Australia-wide.
