Sun hoods, also known as architectural mouldings or blades, provide a sleek and minimal solution to a practical problem: protection from the sun and weather.
The sun window hoods’ rise in popularity has been influenced by the growth in use of architectural zinc cladding that offers a modern and streamlined aesthetic appearance.
While providing protection against the elements, a sun hood complements the modern architectural building style.

Material
Lightweight aluminium is the ideal choice for sunhood fabrication, offering a smooth corrosion resistant surface that can be powder coated to match your home, coloubond roof, or provide a contrasting accent to the exterior of your building.
Benefits
Choosing an aluminium window hood has many benefits, including:
- Weather protection
- Lightweight

- Custom made to suit
As well as being functional and weather resistant, Aluminium sunhoods are an attractive and upmarket non-load-bearing blade style hood that can also provide window privacy.
They can be installed to shroud both windows and doors, and will enhance the exterior of your property for decades to come.
Size
While sunhoods can be manufactured to any size, the optimal depth that provides protection, without obscuring views, is 600mm (60cm).
Although we can manufacture to any shape or size, as each sun hood is made to order in our Southern Sydney metal fab workshop. Equipped with a full service range of aluminium fabrication machinery and equipment, we produce sun hoods 100% in-house, from design to manufacture and delivery.
