Aluminium Window Hoods (Angled Louvre Slats)
Production time approx. 10 working days. Flat Packed shipped Australia-wide.
If you're after superior awnings that are going to stand the test of time, Australian-made Clik'n'Fit® lightweight aluminium window hoods are the way to go. With the 5-6mm spacing of the louvre-style slats you'll have little to no sun on your window during those later times of the day. This also makes them perfect for the far southern areas of the country, where the sun position is more angled.
Description
With a few of these added to your home, you'll reduce solar heat gain by up to 65%, thereby helping to cut energy costs and lower your carbon footprint. If you've got some high rise neighbours, then the louvre window hoods also give an extra bit of privacy.
Perfect for a DIY project or self-install - the panels click into the frame by hand, so all you need to do is assemble it and secure the brackets to the wall above your window. This means no messing around searching for extra bits and pieces from different suppliers, you get everything you need in the one package. You are also able to choose either a right angle screen (pointing straight out from the wall), or at a slight downward angle.
The louvre awnings are made of 6060 or 6063 T5 Aluminium with thermoset powder coating in 7 popular COLORBOND® colours! The result is a durable, weather resistant and low maintenance product. They are also corrosion, flame and termite resistant, as well as tested for a N3 wind load rating and BASIX thermal comfort.
Sizes larger than 2250mm wide include a centre bracket, so the slats are split into two sections for ease of installation and transportation as well as improved stability.

FAQs
Q: Can you order custom sizes?
A: Yes! Please contact us with your custom dimensions or fill out the form linked in the custom size quote tab. Please keep in mind the maximum span between mounting brackets is 2000mm, but the total width can be over 5 metres and the maximum depth of bracket is approx 900mm (Distance off wall).
Q: What is the internal dimensions from bracket to bracket?
Take roughly 100mm off the total distance of your selected size. This should be approximately the width of your window (or any other area you want covered). Generally you want a bit of overlap, so a 1950 is suitable for an 1800 wide window. A diagram is shown in the PDF install document.
Q: What is the width referring to?
Outside of bracket, far end to far end. The wall fixing/base plate may be 25mm wider on each side.
Q: Which awning is best for my house?
That depends on the angle of the sun. All of our units have 65% heat block and the same gaps between slats, it is up to you to decide if an angled down awning is more relevant to your needs than a straight one. I have suggested to clients in the past to get a big piece of cardboard or such and put it above your window and see what casts the largest shadow.
