Next time you drive past a commercial building, take a look at the awning that’s on that building and consider what material it’s made from. You may be surprised to learn that much, or all of that awning is made from aluminum. At MASA Architectural Canopies, we use aluminum for all of our awnings because it is a very versatile material, and there are many things that you can do with aluminum that are more difficult to do with other materials. When you think of aluminum, many times you’ll think of a silvery material, but remember that aluminum can be coated or colored just like aluminum cans. Aluminum is also very versatile in creating designs that would be much more difficult using options such as iron, steel, brass or other materials. Talk with our team today to learn more about the different options for your aluminum awning.
Making Aluminum Look Like Other Materials
Aluminum is a great material to shape and make it look like it a completely different material. While many people associate steel with strength, aluminum has a great strength-to-weight ratio, and this allows for unique designs that many people would mistake for steel. Aluminum can also be painted, and with the right colors, aluminum can be made to look like blackened wrought iron or could even be made to look like wood.
Intricate designs and shapes, many of which are associated with other materials, can be easily made with aluminum. Aluminum also pairs well with glass components, such that you could have a clear span for your awning supported by aluminum for a modern look. And on top of everything else, our aluminum awnings are highly recyclable as well.
Aluminum is The Go-To Option
With the many benefits that an aluminum awning offers, it’s no wonder that aluminum is the material of choice for the majority of awnings that you will see around the country. From being rust and corrosion resistant, to having high flexibility, to allowing customization of size, shape, color, another attributes, it makes sense that so many organizations and businesses would choose aluminum. An aluminum awning is a worthwhile investment for any organization.
