Choosing a finish for your commercial canopies or awnings may not be something that a lot of people consider when constructing a long term canopy solution. Depending on the project and requirements, aluminum canopies can have an anodized finish or a painted finish with a range of colors.
Paint or a anodized coating is generally applied to aluminum to protect it from oxidation. Which is the process in which oxygen molecules come in contact with something, in this case aluminum, and creates aluminum oxide, similar to when iron rusts. Painted finishes are available in a wide range of colors and durability. Kynar painted finishes are among the most durable painted finishes and is designed to resist weather, aging and salt. Painted finishes are especially resistant and are one of the best means of protecting your commercial canopies.

Aluminum awnings can be used in a number of different applications on construction projects, and is one of the most popular systems that architects use to protect those outside from the sun. Aluminum canopy solutions not only are durable and long lasting, but they require little maintenance and are aesthetically pleasing.
Many people avoid thinking about how the sun and UV rays can affect them, but in reality, approximately 1 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer a year. Aluminum awnings and canopies are getting significantly more popular in construction because they not only help cool down buildings and provide for cover, but they also help reduce UV radiation. Believe it or not, even when you’re inside, UV rays can still affect you and even sun bleach your belongings.
Aluminum awnings provide shelter for those who want to step outside and get some fresh air. Avoiding harmful UV rays can be difficult if you want to go outside, but aluminum canopies provide safe protection from UV radiation while still enjoying the outdoors. They can also provide for additional outside space while enhancing the look of the building.
At Perfection Architectural Systems, we provide your business with aluminum canopies and walkway covers that will not only enhance the look of the building, but also provide you protection from UV rays. We provide quality service and long term canopy solutions that will enhance your building project, and by contacting us at 1-800-238-7207 we will be more than happy to get your project started.
There will always be an ongoing debate on whether or not aluminum is better than steel and vice versa. They can both be used in construction of architectural systems and used for building various types of transportation like cars and bikes. Each has their pros and cons, but what really is the difference?
Many say that steel is the better option, but this depends on the quality and how you’re using it. You can purchase cheaper steel but the quality is not nearly as good as higher grade steel. Steel can also be susceptible to rusting, and it’s typically not good for outdoor use, like its use in furniture or canopies. The biggest advantage of steel over aluminum is that steel is about 3 times stronger than aluminum but also weighs much more when compared to it.
Aluminum is very lightweight compared to steel and in addition has a much higher strength to weight ratio. Although it is one third the strength of steel, it is extremely strong for its lightweight characteristics. It has a high resistance to corrosion and won’t rust in weather like steel would. It is extremely versatile and unlike steel, is extremely recyclable. Aluminum structures like aluminum awnings are also energy efficient, and help keep temperatures lower.
With its extreme versatility and aversion to weather, aluminum canopy systems are a great long term solution to cover your walkways, doorways and outside areas. At Perfection Architectural Systems, we specialize in creating aluminum canopies that last long term for every type of project. Whether you need a suspended canopy or aluminum carport, call Perfection Architectural Systems today at 800-238-7207.
The use of aluminum canopy systems in commercial projects has been highly recognized as a cost-effect long term system that helps reduce energy costs while reducing temperatures inside. While offering a great alternative to blinds, aluminum awnings also provide your building with a unique aesthetic appeal. The energy saving benefits is one of the most significant benefits of aluminum canopy systems.
Aluminum awnings and sunshades can help reduce the inside temperature of a build by 20% because it blocks the sun from ever reaching the window. This makes awnings and sunshades more effective than any other window shading solution. By adding aluminum awnings to your commercial site, you can greatly reduce the amount of energy that would be used to cool the building if you only had blinds.
Contributing to a more sustainable building can be done by installing long term aluminum canopies. There is a decreased need for energy consumption resulting in a lower energy bill because you won’t need to use as much energy to cool buildings. Aluminum awnings and sunshades can also cut winter drafts resulting in less energy usage to warm a building.
At Perfection Architectural Systems, we design and construct an aluminum canopy solution that will best suit your commercial project. We construct high quality aluminum awnings and canopies that not only provide you protection from the sun, but also contribute to energy saving benefits.
