We all know that aluminum as a material is one of the most recycled on the planet. And while aluminum as a building material has been used for decades, it had fallen out of favor. But that is changing, and MASA Architectural Canopies is leading the way on the resurgence of aluminum awnings and other aluminum building items. This swing back toward the use of aluminum is due to many different factors including the advancement of technology, a focus on more energy efficient building methods, and more. When you are looking to have awnings added to your building, look to our team for the latest on using aluminum awnings and creating a variety of different designs. Contact us today to learn more about the different options for aluminum awnings.
Key Trends in the Increase in Aluminum Awnings
While aluminum has always been an easier material to cut and shape when compared with other materials, with the increased use of laser cutting, more precise cuts and designs can be made, allowing even more customization without added time or expense. There are now aluminum alloys that are lighter yet stronger, which allows for easier transport and installation while still providing the same durability as aluminum always has.
Because of this high recyclability of aluminum, it reduces the energy needed to create it. Less energy is also needed to transport and install aluminum awnings, helping to make more people aware of this durable material. And aluminum also features a longer lifespan when compared to other materials, leading to it being a cost-effective medium.
Work With an Experienced Team
We have years of experience not only designing custom aluminum awnings, but in creating our own lines of awnings that can be customized with design and color. From aluminum awnings that help a building to regulate the amount of sunlight that enters windows, to creating stunning visual entrances that capture the imagination, our team can help you to develop just the right aluminum awning that will fit the needs of your building.
Aluminum as a material for awnings and other items has been used for more than a hundred years, but a variety of factors are combining to make it the material of choice for so many different projects. MASA Architectural Canopies can offer you several different pre-engineered options for your awnings, or we can work with you to create something truly unique.
