Understanding the Skyline Range


The Skyline Window Surrounds are available as complete systems, offering both practicality and visual charm. They are presented in standard kits, which include:

  • Deepline Window Pod Kits: Ideal for making bold architectural statements, these kits come with a pronounced 100mm projection. Perfect for openings in the building facade that demand a robust architectural effect.

  • Slimline Window Pod Kits: These are for designers who prefer a softer, subtle visual effect, offering a 50mm projection.

Both the Deepline and Slimline kits are available in three profile face sizes: 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm, catering to a range of window opening sizes.


Key Features of Skyline Window Pods

  • Manufactured from 2mm thick high-quality aluminium sheet.

  • A robust 3mm thick aluminium bracket which is easy to install due to an innovative bracket design.

  • Elimination of costly boxing/joinery requirements.

  • Availability in over 25 standard colours, with custom BS or RAL colours also available.

  • Fire safety assurance with solid aluminium sheets classified as non-combustible and coatings that meet the criteria for class 0 building regulation approval.


Installation and Customization
