Add Architectural Character to Your Windows
Wedge, Dutch & Eyelid Hoods are one of those exterior additions that makes a home look more considered and european look — the kind of detail that elevates a streetscape from ordinary to distinctive. The angled wedge profile creates a strong geometric shadow line above windows and doors, adding architectural depth and visual interest that a plain awning simply can't replicate.
Practical Rain & Sun Protection
Beyond aesthetics, Hoods perform a useful practical function. The angled profile deflects rain away from windows, keeping glass cleaner and reducing water around window frames. The overhang provides shade during the middle of the day when the sun is high, reducing direct sun on glass and the heat that enters through it.
Suits Modern & Heritage Homes
These hoods are available in a range of colours and finishes to complement both modern and heritage home styles. On a contemporary home, a wedge hood in a bold contrasting colour creates a striking architectural feature. On a heritage Queenslander, a more traditional profile in a period-appropriate tone restores character and charm.
Durable & Permanently Low Maintenance
The durable frame construction is designed for the Australian outdoor environment — resistant to UV, moisture and the thermal cycling of hot summers and cooler winters. Wedge, Dutch & Eyelid Hoods are a fixed installation, providing their benefits around the clock with zero maintenance beyond an occasional clean.
