Prefabricated Aluminum Canopies
Prefabricated Metal Canopies
Aluminum canopies from Sharchs have a lot to offer, protecting visitors and buildings from the sun and the elements — all while providing an attractive aesthetic, durability and easy installation. Our prefabricated products allow you to reap these benefits with affordable and flexible standardized designs.
About Our Prefabricated Sunshade Solutions
Prefabricated sunshade solutions, including prefabricated canopy systems, prefab metal awnings and metal canopies, are assembled off-site with standardized components. They come in various styles to suit a range of purposes and architectures. Some examples of prefabricated aluminum canopy systems include:
- Cantilevered: These solutions don’t require hanger supports, making them exceptionally versatile.
- Hanger rod-supported: Hanger rod canopies connect the top of an aluminum canopy to the building. They work well in many designs and finishes, including door awnings.
- Vertical aluminum sunshades: Vertical sunshades hang down from the side of a building, offering a clean, modern approach to shading commercial spaces.
A prefabricated aluminum canopy is typically more cost-effective for general contractors, roofing companies and architects. The ready-to-use design works well with most traditional structures, and the flexibility of prefab metal awnings allows contractors to use them for diverse applications.
Benefits of Prefabricated Metal Awnings
From energy savings to visitor and employee satisfaction, prefabricated architectural canopies and other sunshade solutions help business owners and contractors see multiple benefits.
1. Attractive Shading
Prefab sunshade solutions keep professionals cool and comfortable, whether they are entering a doorway, parking a car or strolling down the sidewalk. Since prefabricated awnings and canopies come in different styles and finishes, you can choose the best fit for nearly all architectural styles.
2. Energy Efficiency
By blocking the sun’s rays, a pre-engineered aluminum canopy reduces stress on a building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. These advantages help commercial building owners save money, especially during the summer months.
3. Sustainability
Aluminum is a sustainable building material that’s 100% recyclable. The shade prefabricated metal canopies provide can significantly reduce the energy consumption of HVAC systems. As contractors, architects and building owners aim to use more recyclable materials, aluminum canopies help put the planet first.
4. Longevity
An aluminum prefabricated canopy offers long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance with minimal maintenance requirements. It can even protect a building and its interior from sun-related deterioration. Furniture and window treatments exposed to sunlight could fade or peel sooner than expected when there is no prefabricated canopy present.
5. Ease of Installation and Acquisition
Prefabricated products offer straightforward installation and minimal lead times. Aluminum is lightweight and easy to handle, making these metal canopies especially simple to work with once they’re delivered to a site.
Why Choose Sharchs’ Custom Aluminum Canopies for Commercial Use?
While prefabricated aluminum canopies fit many applications, some buildings call for something more specific.
We also offer custom aluminum sunshades to fit your unique requirements. Sharchs can adjust the height, outrigger shape, infill profile and more. We’ll even adjust blade angles to the solar altitude of your region for maximum performance.
A custom aluminum canopy is ideal for meeting goals related to performance, appearance or one-of-a-kind installation demands. Explore our sunshade designer online to see how we can help you with custom solutions.
