Maintaining a heritage window hood is a crucial aspect of preserving the aesthetic and functionality of your property. However, with our modern take on colonial awnings, you can enjoy the heritage aesthetic without the high maintenance requirements typically associated with it.

Unlike traditional timber awnings, our Window Hoods are designed to withstand the test of time with minimal upkeep. The use of durable materials such as COLORBOND® Steel flashing and powder-coated aluminium slats ensures that your window hood will not warp or require frequent painting like its timber counterparts.

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your heritage window hood, we recommend the following maintenance practices:

1. Regular Cleaning: Gently clean the surfaces of your awning using a mild detergent and water solution. This will help remove any dirt or debris that may accumulate over time.
2. Inspection: Periodically inspect your window hood for any signs of damage or wear. Look out for loose or missing screws, bent slats, or any other issues that may require attention.
