New The Look of Metal · Patent Pending
The bold, architectural standing-seam metal look for your storefront — crisp vertical ribs and clean lines, custom-fit to your building, in your color and finish. All the curb appeal of a metal canopy, lighter and at a better value.
Why it turns heads
Standing-seam metal canopies have taken over the best-looking storefronts. This is that exact architectural look — engineered in custom awning fabric.
Crisp vertical ribs and clean, modern lines that read as high-end metal from the street — the look that makes a storefront a landmark.
Built to your exact opening and even curved to your radius — shapes rigid metal simply can’t follow. One awning, made for one storefront.
Far lighter than fabricated metal, so it’s easier to engineer and mounts clean and true — less structure, less disruption to your business.
Choose your color and an acrylic or vinyl finish. Solution-dyed fabric holds its color in the Connecticut sun for years.
All the architectural presence of a standing-seam metal canopy — at a noticeably more competitive price.
Designed, fabricated, and installed by our own Manchester crew since 1947. We service what we build.
