Covers & cages
Aluminium aircon covers that let the unit breathe
A condenser needs air more than it needs hiding. We size the open area for the unit first, then make it look like it belongs on the wall.
- Material
- Aluminium & ACM composite, up to 2 mm
- Finish
- Powder coated or spray painted, any colour
- Cutting
- CNC laser cut and engraved in-house
- Warranty
- 12 months
The work
See it properly
Click any frame to open it full size. Arrow keys move between them.
Why it is built this way
Get this wrong and you cook the compressor. Every cover we draw leaves clearance around the unit and enough open area across the face that the fan is not fighting the panel.
This is our most common flat-pack item and usually the fastest — most orders leave in about five days. It arrives as cut panels with the fixings and a fitting guide, and one person with a drill can put it up.
- 01
Airflow is the specification
Open area and clearance are set for your unit, not copied off a stock drawing. A choked condenser is an expensive mistake.
- 02
About five days
The going rate in this market is fifteen to twenty working days. Small covers usually leave our workshop in about five.
- 03
Disappears into the wall
Coated to your wall colour, it reads as a detail. Coated to a contrast, it reads as a feature. Your call.

How this one gets made
Four steps, one workshop
- Step 01
Measure
Send the opening. Rough is fine — a photo with a tape in it beats a perfect drawing.
- Step 02
Draw
We draw your actual panel at full scale and you approve the CAD before anything is cut.
- Step 03
Cut
CNC laser cut, then powder coated or sprayed, on our own machines in Prospecton.
- Step 04
Fit
Flat-packed with fixings and a drill template, or fitted by our team or an approved installer.
“Six condensers hidden and not one resident complaining that their aircon got worse. They worked the airflow out properly instead of guessing.”

Will a cover make my aircon less efficient?
Not if it is designed properly. We set the open area and the clearance around the unit so the fan is not restricted. A cover that fits tight to the casing with small holes will absolutely cost you efficiency — that is the version we will not build.
What size do I need?
Measure the outdoor unit’s width, height and depth, and tell us how much wall you have. We add the clearance and draw the cover around it.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes. It ships flat-packed with fixings and a drill template. Most people manage it in an hour with a drill and a level.
How much does an aircon cover cost?
It depends on size, pattern and finish, so we quote per job rather than publish a price that would be wrong for most people. Send us the unit dimensions and you will have a number back quickly.
Often specified together
Gas cages
Gas bottles have to be outside, upright, ventilated and secure. That is a safety requirement, not a styling one — so the only question left is whether it has to look like a cage.
View →Inverter & battery screens
Load shedding put an inverter and a stack of batteries on a lot of South African walls. They are rarely in a cupboard and almost never pretty.
View →Geyser enclosures
External geysers and heat pumps are the least attractive thing on most walls, and they are only getting more common. An enclosure fixes the look without trapping heat.

Rough dimensions are fine — we confirm every measurement on the CAD before cutting. No obligation, and no pushy follow-up.
