The Complete Guide to Window Shrouds
Everything you need to know about window shrouds, from what they are to why builders choose them for modern construction projects across Australia.
What Are Window Shrouds?
Window shrouds are architectural elements that frame building windows, creating visual depth and providing weather protection. Modern window shrouds are typically made from aluminium and designed to complement contemporary building aesthetics.
Unlike simple decorative trim, window shrouds can add projection around an opening and help manage exposure when they are detailed as part of the facade system. Project teams remain responsible for the wall, window, waterproofing, structure and fixing design.
