We recognised that in today's fast-paced world, the ability to access high-quality sun hood solutions quickly, without compromising on design, is valuable.

EXPRESS BY HEKA HOODS

The name EXPRESS encapsulates a dual purpose: it signifies expression- a conduit for our clients’ visions and a reflection of beautiful design lines, and secondly indicates fast, ready-made solutions. 

The inclusion of "Heka" connects our brand to the deeper values we uphold. Inspired by the Egyptian god of magic and creation, Heka symbolises the transformative power we bring to our designs and vision to make the world a more beautiful place.

THE PROBLEM WE ARE SOLVING

As a leader in architectural sun hood design and manufacturing, we’ve always thrived on mass customisation. However, with our Express Range we’re capturing the convenience and speed that the ready-made product range delivers. 

We understand that timings with builds and renovations can blow out or change suddenly. You or your client might change their mind and want to add additional sun protection last minute. With our Express by Heka Hoods range we are here to take away the stress of this situation providing you with sun hood solutions quickly, without you having to compromise on quality or design. 

TAKING AWAY THE LEAD TIMES 

With us pre- fabricating our stock and having it on hand, this enables us to pick, pack, and dispatch your orders to you, quickly. 

Provided you have ensured the suitability of our Express Range for your site location, you simply need to pick the depth, colour, and length and check-out via the website.

Once we have received confirmation of your order, we will then begin our dispatch process. Orders will dispatch from our warehouse within 1-2 business days with transit times dependant on the location of the delivery address.

DEPTHS, LENGTHS, COLOURS

Select the depth.

HH300 (mm), HH450 (mm) and HH600 (mm) are the available depths within this Express range. The depth is the hood protrusion from the wall.

Decide on a length.

Measure your window and/or door the hood will be installed over and choose the closest length from the 5 standard lengths available. Over-hang of our hoods is acceptable, this will only benefit you by providing more functional protection for your window/door. 

Choose your colour.

Using high performance technology, the hoods are powder coated ready for installation as soon as they arrive to site. There are 3 popular colour options to choose from with the Express Range; Duratec Zeus Monument Matt, Duratec Zeus Black Matt, and Duratec Zeus Surfmist Matt. 

If you are unsure what the site suitability requirements are; please refer to the bottom of the About page on the website.
