AWNINGS & CANOPIES
WHERE PROTECTION & IDENTITY
MEET INNOVATION & CREATIVITY
Fabric awnings and canopies are an extremely versatile and multifunctional architectural element to add to any home or business. Frames can be rigid and permanent or retractable and temporary. Aesthetically pleasing, awnings and canopies provide shelter from the sun, protection during inclement weather and are more economical to build when compared to wood or masonry structures. Awnings can be mounted directly to and cantilever out from a building when covering windows and entrances without extra supporting attachments. Whereas canopies are larger in size and coverage area, either partially attached to a building or can be completely free standing with support columns. These are often used to create a breezeway between two buildings, outdoor dining areas or direct patrons toward entrance or unloading zones.
Every year, businesses spend far more on advertising than they do on the look of their business; for far less than an advertising plan or working with a marketing agency, you can self-promote your business right outside your door! Fabricon is here to help your business stand out. Awning and canopies are ideal for the key dual functions of identification and protection from the elements, all while providing additional outdoor coverage areas for cooling shade during hot the summer months. We can put any logo on any awning or canopy. With the diversity of styles and customizing options available we can create even more artistic and sculptural structures to help draw added emphasis to your business. Playing with design elements enhances the character you want your
business to project. Both awnings and canopies can be illuminated for 24-hour security and be used to make signage pop and draw attention in the evenings and overcast days. Creating a poignant advertising installation that people will talk about!
Fabricon also offers state-of-the-art retractable awnings and canopies that can provide an easy way to create adding living space making sun drenched decks inviting and comfortable for guests and patrons alike. Additionally, they can be used to create seasonal extensions to patios and parking areas. With easy to maintain fabric options available, we manufacture your fabric awning or canopy to ensure a sharp tailored look and have several custom valance options to choose from, giving it that finishing touch.
