Tailored Products are Our Specialty

Customized to your specifications

ArkuShrouds can be fully customised to suit your project’s specific design intent and dimensions. Whether you’re after sharp geometric lines, unique profiles, or tailored sizing to fit non-standard window or door openings, each ArkuShroud is made to order with precision. Our in-house team works closely with builders, designers, and architects to ensure a seamless integration with the building’s façade—delivering a clean, cohesive finish that enhances both form and function. From one-off residential builds to large-scale commercial developments, ArkuShrouds offer flexibility without compromising on style or quality.

easy installation

ArkuShrouds arrive on-site as a finished product—powder coated, pre-fabricated, and ready for fast, hassle-free installation. With no need for brackets, FC sheeting, or on-site painting, ArkuShrouds streamline the install process while delivering a clean, professional finish every time.

engineered 

ArkuShrouds are precision engineered and manufactured in accordance with AS1170.2 Region B (equivalent to AS4055 N1, N2, N3) when installed in line with Arkus Industries’ installation guidelines.

Our standard depth options include:

  • 300mm
  • 450mm
  • 600mm

However, we also offer custom depths and lengths to suit project-specific requirements. Whether you're working within unique design constraints or aiming for a specific visual outcome, our team can tailor ArkuShrouds to your exact specifications.

Please Note:

  • All lengths are made to order based on your project dimensions. For spans over 3000mm, a discreet joining detail is required, designed for a clean and seamless finish.
  • The suitability of ArkuShrouds depends on site-specific wind classifications and the presence of a structurally adequate fixing point.
  • It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm wind ratings and ensure the structural member is suitable for the installation.
  • All installation instructions and drawings must be reviewed and approved by the project/site engineer before installation.

Built for versatility

During development, the Arkus team identified a need for a smarter, more flexible solution—leading to the creation of our modular connection system. This innovation allows ArkuShrouds to adapt to almost any design requirement, from straight runs to complex architectural forms.

Our integrated strengthening system supports projections up to 900mm, while the modular connections make it easy to extend continuously along façades, wrap around corners, and transition across varying heights—all with a clean, seamless finish.
