The introduction of projecting aluminium into facades was pioneered by German-American architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, when he designed the Seagram Building in New York City during 1958. Aluminium window pods have since found their place in a wide range of high-profile architecture, as they are embraced for their visually captivating, yet sustainable, durable and practical offerings.
But, what exactly are aluminium window pods and how do they benefit modern-day structures? InterCounty is here to tell you everything you need to know!
Aluminium window pods, also known as window surrounds, are a striking architectural feature designed to catch the eye by framing the windows of residential and commercial properties. Window pods often protrude from the face of a building in order to introduce extra textures and implement 3D visuals.
The perfect balance between style and practicality, window pods don’t only provide aesthetic appeal for your project, but they also provide a seal around the windows that acts as a method of preventing water ingress (which can lead to damp, leaks, etc.).
Where do we start!
Aluminium has been used in the architectural industry since the 1930s due to its sleek, lightweight and durable properties. But, what makes the metal a good material for window pods?
Of course you can! Here at InterCounty, we believe customisation is key.
That’s why our aluminium window pods, as well as ALL of our guttering, rainwater and architectural aluminium products can be powder-coated in any RAL colour of your choice!
Why not choose a colour that matches the other unique features of your property?
Yes! Please feel free to browse our range of aluminium window pod projects below.

As well as aluminium window pods/surrounds, we also offer a varied selection of Architectural Aluminium to suit properties of any size or sector:
Our wide range of architectural rainwater and roofline systems provide a bespoke, powder-coated aluminium detail, manufactured specially to your project requirements. But, it also provides weather and corrosion resistance, as well as protection for the rafters of your roof from the elements (rain, snow, direct sunlight, etc.).
This in turn fights against leaks, damp and other types of rainwater damage – saving you time and money on costly repairs or replacements!
