SUPPLEMENTARY SYSTEMS
Standing Seam, Cantilever & Supplementary Products
Where the design calls for them: standing seam aluminum awnings (S & O series, CSI 10 73 16), cantilever canopy systems with no front columns, open tube accent canopies, retractable awnings and motorized screens for hospitality and outdoor dining, and woodgrain aluminum sublimation across all systems.
Materials & Engineering
All systems are fabricated from architectural extruded aluminum — welded assemblies or knock-down kits depending on the system — with stainless steel fasteners and no components that rust. Systems are configured wall-mounted (cantilevered) or post-supported based on span and projection. Every system is engineered specifically to the project and the governing local codes, not blanket-approved: project-specific PE-stamped structural calculations are available through our third-party structural engineering network, engineered to the ASCE 7 design wind speed, exposure category, and risk category for your jurisdiction — including coastal and high-wind regions. With 35+ years manufacturing for Florida's high-UV, high-wind coastal environment, demanding jurisdictions are our home field.
Finishes & Color
Standard powder-coat colors plus AAMA 2604/2605 architectural-grade coatings on request, using coatings from approved suppliers including Tiger Drylac, TCI, Cardinal, IFS Coatings, Sherwin-Williams, and Nortek. Custom color matching is available for corporate identity programs. In-house woodgrain sublimation (Decoral system) delivers wood aesthetics on maintenance-free aluminum — see woodgrain color options, or request fan decks and physical swatches.
