Our window shrouds are engineered for Australian conditions and fabricated to suit each project, with custom sizes, multiple profile options, in-house powder coating and a 10-year warranty.
Whether you need a slimline blade-style design, a bold framed shroud or a bespoke solution for a complex facade, we can manufacture window shrouds to suit modern residential, commercial and multi-residential projects.
What Are Window Shrouds?
Window shrouds are external aluminium structures fixed around the outer face of a window opening to provide shade, weather protection, privacy and architectural definition. They are also commonly referred to as sun hoods, window hoods or architectural window blades, depending on the design.
In addition to improving the appearance of a building facade, well-designed window shrouds can help reduce solar heat gain, support passive design outcomes and contribute to BASIX-oriented sun mitigation strategies on suitable projects.
Why Choose Aluminium Window Shrouds?
- Architectural appearance: create a refined, modern finish around windows and facades
- Sun mitigation: help reduce direct sun penetration and support more comfortable internal spaces
- Weather protection: provide added shielding from rain and exposure
- Corrosion resistance: aluminium is well suited to harsh Australian conditions, including coastal environments
- Custom fabrication: made to suit your exact window size, depth and design intent
- Powder coated finish: available in a wide range of colours for seamless facade integration
- Long-term durability: premium fabrication and finishing backed by a 10-year warranty

Our Window Shroud Styles
Trendline Window Shrouds
Trendline offers outstanding design flexibility and is ideal for projects requiring a custom architectural appearance with leading edge widths from 25mm to 50mm. It is suited to a wide range of residential and commercial applications where flexibility, strong presentation and premium finish are priorities.
Trendline Plus+ Window Shrouds
Trendline Plus+ is designed for projects seeking an elevated finish with concealed fixing details and a more refined appearance. It is a strong choice where architectural presentation and clean detailing are critical.
Modline Window Shrouds
Modline is manufactured from 6mm aluminium and is ideal for minimalist architecture. Its slim blade-like profile creates a crisp, contemporary look that works particularly well with modern homes, rendered facades and refined cladding systems.
Centurion Window Shrouds
Centurion is suited to projects requiring a bolder, more substantial shroud profile. It delivers a strong architectural statement and is ideal for premium residential or commercial facades where a heavier framed look is desired.
Custom Window Shrouds for Architects and Builders
Every project is different. Alumac manufactures custom window shrouds to suit site-specific requirements including:
- single, double, triple or four-sided shrouds
- corner window configurations
- custom depths, heights and projections
- long panel lengths
- concealed or exposed fixing options
- colour matching to surrounding facade materials
- integration with cladding, rendered walls, brickwork and contemporary architectural forms
We regularly work with architects, builders and developers looking for custom fabricated aluminium window shrouds¹ that can be repeated consistently across multi-window projects while still achieving a premium visual outcome.
Built for Australian Conditions
Aluminium window shrouds are a practical choice for Australian projects because they combine strength, low maintenance and corrosion resistance. This makes them particularly suitable for exposed environments and modern facades where long-term appearance matters.
At Alumac, our fabrication and powder coating processes are designed to deliver durable finishes that perform well over time, including in challenging coastal and urban environments.
Window Shrouds and BASIX Sun Mitigation
Window shrouds can play an important role in passive solar control by helping reduce unwanted heat gain on suitable elevations. For many residential projects, they are a practical way to combine visual appeal with performance-based facade design.
If your project has solar control or BASIX-related design requirements, we can discuss a suitable window shroud configuration to support the architectural intent while achieving a clean and buildable outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a window shroud and a sun hood?
The terms are often used interchangeably. In general, a sun hood may refer to a simpler top projection, while a window shroud often wraps around multiple sides of the opening to create a stronger architectural frame.
Are aluminium window shrouds custom made?
Yes. Alumac window shrouds are custom manufactured to suit the size, projection, style and installation requirements of each project.
Can window shrouds be powder coated?
Yes. Our aluminium window shrouds can be powder coated in a wide range of colours to suit the facade or create contrast.
Are window shrouds suitable for coastal areas?
Aluminium is a strong material choice for many coastal applications due to its corrosion resistance. Project-specific suitability should always be reviewed based on the location and specification requirements.
What size should a window shroud be?
The ideal size depends on the width of the opening, desired projection, design intent and sun control goals. Alumac manufactures custom sizes to suit each project.
Do you supply window shrouds outside Sydney?
Yes. We manufacture in Sydney and can supply custom aluminium window shrouds for projects in greater NSW and other Australian locations, depending on project requirements.
