Buildings have many different styles, including Victorian, Contemporary, and even Brutalism, and many of these buildings also have canopies to match them. These days the modern look that buildings have is more Minimalism than anything, and hanger rod canopies from MASA Architectural Canopies is an ideal match. These hanger rod canopies provide a simple and straightforward look to them that compliments many modern buildings, from hotels and theaters to retail buildings, and even some residential buildings. They eliminate the pillars that are commonly used on the corners of other canopies, providing for a wide open and unobstructed covered space. Other features can also be added or incorporated into them, including lights for seeing at night.

Provide More Versatility Than Other Design Styles
When it comes to providing a canopy that doesn’t use columns for support, there really are only two options: hanger rod canopies and cantilever canopies. Cantilevered canopies have support columns with crossmembers that protrude from the building, but these also must be supported inside the building, and this can be a challenge to incorporate into a building design. Hanger rod canopies don’t have this crossmember sticking into the building, making their incorporation easier.
Hanger rod canopies are often seen used on smaller commercial buildings that have drive-thrus as part of their design. Because interior space needs to be maximized in these smaller buildings, the hanger rod canopy is an ideal solution that keeps the exterior clean and open, while also keeping the interior simple and used for the main focus of the business.
Clean Lines Provide for Less Distractions
The modern look of hanger rod canopies provides for a distraction-free experience, which is what many building owners want. The functionality of weather protection and lights is preserved, while the canopy itself is merely an extension of the building that doesn’t stand out by itself, but becomes part of the architecture of the entire building. The users may not consider all of the benefits these hanger rod canopies provide, but they definitely notice when they are not present.
While the different architectural styles of buildings can be impressive and some may question why we don’t build buildings in those styles any longer, the efficiency and functionality of hanger rod canopies and modern buildings can’t be ignored. MASA Architectural Canopies will use our decades of industry experience to help you have the best hanger rod canopy that matches your building’s aesthetics.
