We see them on many commercial buildings such as hotels, hospitals, apartment buildings, and other structures, and while we can appreciate them for the protection that they provide to people entering and leaving the building, there are many other benefits to having an entry canopy on your building. Our team at MASA Architectural Canopies has been helping property owners create appealing and functional entry canopies. These canopies are often used as marketing tools in addition to the many other benefits they provide. Utilizing the business colors and surfaces to brand the entry canopy, this can be a way to keep your brand in the minds of people as they pass by your building.

Benefits For Visitors and Building Owners
Building owners gain multiple benefits with their entry canopies, including the increased curb appeal and ability to use the canopy as a marketing tool. Not only that, but entry canopies can help to reduce energy needs as the canopy blocks the harsh sunlight that can cause thermal gain and cause air conditioning to run more to keep temperatures moderated. Entry canopies can also help with reduced maintenance costs, as they prevent the harsh weather from directly impacting doors and windows.
Visitors and residents of a building also benefit from entry canopies. They get to benefit from the shelter from weather, be it rain, snow, or intense sunlight. Entry canopies also provide a place to shed rain and snow before going indoors and can provide protection until an umbrella can be deployed when heading out.
More Than Just a Functional Addition
As you can see, entry canopies are more than just functional additions to buildings. And while basic entry canopies do all of this, they can also be designed with a unique structure so that the shape is also eye-catching and not just the colors or brand put on them. And because these are positioned over a main entrance to the building, it helps to cut down on door maintenance as well as floor maintenance by keeping the rain, snow, and leaves outside.
Entry canopies provide a host of benefits as outlined above to both the building owners as well as those people who live, work, or visit the property. MASA Architectural Canopies has been helping provide high quality canopies for many decades, and we can help you to choose the right option from our pre-existing lines of canopies or developing a unique canopy.
