How to Measure Up
Ideal installation of your Modhood will be 150mm above the top of your window frame.
• To get your Modhood Width: Measure the width of your window frame and add 150mm either side of your window for ideal overhang. Which means you'll simply add 300mm to your window frame width to choose your Modhood width.
• For example: Your standard 900mm window will use a 1050mm wide Modhood:
Standard 1200 mm window = 1350 mm wide Modhood
Standard 1500 mm window = 1650 mm wide Modhood
Standard 1800 mm window = 1950 mm wide Modhood
Standard 2100 mm window = 2250 mm wide Modhood
Standard 2400 mm window = 2550 mm wide Modhood
Standard 2700 mm window = 2850 mm wide Modhood
• If standard is close enough, pick your desired colour and add the hood to your cart. Move on to your next window.

That depends on a lot of factors like time of day, weather outside, size of window, your latitude & longitude and many other factors. As a broad generalised statement, you can expect a couple of degrees cooler in your entire house by blocking the heat outside the window, rather than cooling it once it is in.
Yes, once installed correctly; there are no gaps between the wall and the hood. If required use appropriate sealant (not supplied), i.e. foam fillers, sillicone or Sikkaflex. Please note, this hood does not replace the need for window flashings as per Australian Building Standards.
Depends on where you live. The hoods & brackets have been premade but still need to be powder coated to your desired colour. This could take 10 business days, then you need to allow for the transport time from Brisbane. Sydney is generally 2-3 days travel and Melbourne 4-5 days.
