Modular Aluminium Window Shrouds
The EasyShroud™ modular system re-engineers the traditional welded window shroud into a flat-pack format with factory powder coat and a project-specific technical review pathway.
Manufactured in Melbourne by Westberg Sheetmetal, each modular unit ships as precision-machined aluminium panels for compact transport and a defined site-assembly sequence. The project team determines crew, access, lifting and fixing requirements.
What Does Modular Mean in Practice?
A modular window shroud is a unit that is manufactured as separate flat panels — head, sill, and returns — and assembled by your installer on the facade. The result looks and performs identically to a one-piece welded shroud, but the logistics are radically different.
Every EasyShroud panel is CNC-machined to your exact window dimensions, powder-coated in your specified colour at our Melbourne factory, and delivered flat. All fixings and assembly instructions are included.
Wind load engineering is built into the panel geometry and connection design. Modular does not mean compromised — it means smarter.
Why Builders Switch to Modular
Once a builder uses the flat-pack system on one project, they rarely go back to welded units.
Ship 10x more units per delivery
Flat-packed panels stack efficiently. Where a welded unit needs its own space, modular shrouds ship in fractions of the volume — cutting freight cost and delays.
No on-site storage problem
Tight sites with no laydown area are the norm in Melbourne construction. Modular shrouds arrive when you need them and store flat until install day.
Repeatable site assembly
Panels join in a defined sequence so project teams can plan handling and installation across repeated openings.
Custom to your window schedule
Every unit is manufactured to your exact dimensions. Standard and non-standard sizes, 3-sided and 4-sided configurations, any depth.
Wind-load design pathway
Current product design assumptions are available for review against the site, shroud geometry, substrate and fasteners.
Factory finish, site assembled
Every panel is CNC-machined and powder-coated in Melbourne before it leaves our factory. The finish on your wall is indistinguishable from a welded unit.
Modular vs Welded — Side by Side
Both systems can use powder-coated aluminium. Final suitability depends on the design, manufacture, structure, fixings and project requirements.
| Factor | EasyShroud Modular | Traditional Welded |
|---|---|---|
| Transport volume | Flat-packed — 10x more per pallet | Bulky — one unit per crate |
| Site storage | Stacks flat, minimal footprint | Requires dedicated laydown area |
| Installation crew | Carpentry crew — no specialist needed | Often requires crane or specialist lift |
| Install time per unit | ~15 minutes | 45–60 minutes including rigging |
| Custom sizing | Every order made to schedule | Custom, but longer lead times |
| Finish quality | Factory powder coat, assembled on site | Factory finish, delivered whole |
| Wind-load review | Project-specific review required | Project-specific review required |
Configurations and Sizes
3-Sided Shroud
Head and two returns. Used where the sill is a separate element or where the window sits flush to the slab edge. Most common in apartment applications.
4-Sided Shroud
Head, sill, and two returns. Full perimeter frame. Standard for townhouse and residential applications where the complete surround is specified.
Depth options: 300mm (standard residential), 450mm (mid-range / light commercial), and 650mm (deep architectural applications). Every configuration requires review against the project wind, substrate, fixing and engineering requirements.
Manufactured in Melbourne
Every EasyShroud modular unit is manufactured at the Westberg Sheetmetal facility in Heidelberg West, Victoria. Local manufacturing means tighter quality control, faster lead times, and no import delays.
We ship nationally. Flat-pack format means interstate freight is practical and cost-effective — no oversized freight charges, no distorted units in transit.
