These days, an aluminum awning isn’t just a piece of light weight metal that is casting a shadow. They are boldly colored high tech engineering pieces of architecture that are no longer an afterthought, but a crafted statement for a building. At MASA Architectural Canopies, we have been helping people create eye-catching aluminum awnings for decades and have seen how technology has changed, what can be done with the material. And with the growth of sustainability in building design and construction, our aluminum awnings are made from recycled materials, and in turn, our awning can be recycled to produce more awnings in the future. And even with this recycling, our aluminum awnings are stronger than ever while still being light in weight. Contact us today to learn more about modern aluminum awnings.
Technology and Design Advancements
Many buildings would like to have more lighting for people to see, and adding LED lighting underneath your aluminum awnings is a great option. This modern lighting uses less electricity than previous lighting options and can even feature different colors if desired. Motion sensors can also be employed so that they only turn on when there is motion, adding to the cost savings while still providing the extra light desired.
Technology has also meant that different designs for awnings can also happen. You may want to have a design stamped out of your aluminum awning so that when the sun shines through it, the design is transferred to the sidewalk below. And with advanced powder coating, bold, bright colors can be done to really draw attention to your space.
Looking Great for Decades
With all of these changes that technology has brought about, the durability of our aluminum awnings is still well known. Aluminum doesn’t rust and maintains its strength as long as it is employed. This light weight can also provide for gravity-defying placement of awnings and other structures. And of course, your awning will also help with your building’s heating and cooling as it blocks the intense sunlight.
Aluminum awnings are more popular than ever because of the versatility that can be incorporated. MASA Architectural Canopies is your source for a number of different pre-engineered awning options, but we also have designers on staff that can bring your unique concept to life.
