The Many Uses of Canopies

A canopy is like a roof to cover the exterior part of your home. Exterior windows and doors face direct sunlight and rain, which can provide harm to them. To protect your windows and doors from these weather conditions, a canopy is the best available option for you. These canopies are very cost effective and come in different shapes and sizes. They can be made of composite material, aluminum and sometimes a flexible material to fold according to the weather.

Adjustable canopies are available in the market in a huge range. These canopies give the option of shade in summer, and can be folded up in the winter. They are suitable for shops and offices where you don't have enough space for fixed canopies. Adjustable canopies come with an option of automatic or manual. In automatic canopies you just have to press a button, and it will fold automatically. In manual canopies, there is a rod which is responsible for its movements. Automatic canopies are preferred by many people as they don't have enough time to adjust them manually.

Canopies are also responsible for reducing your electricity bill in summer, as they cover your windows and stop the heat from entering into your house to some extent. This process will help reduce the energy consumption of air conditioners.

These canopies can also save the wood frames of your windows from rain and snow. The glare of sunlight on your computer screen and television set can also be reduced with the use of canopies.

You can choose from several materials when purchasing canopies. Aluminum canopies have the benefit of great strength and low maintenance, but these are not available in many shapes and colors. Fiber canopies are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, however they require maintenance.

Pre-fab & Pre-assembly for Safety, Quality, & Speed

One of the primary advantages of receiving a Mapes canopy fully pre-assembled is to reduce the least efficient part of the canopy installation, the field assembly of the canopy. Many times, a working construction site is less than an ideal environment to assemble a pre-fabricated canopy system. Working around ongoing public activities, unfavorable weather elements, using improvised spaces to properly assemble a canopy (or canopies) and the understandable learning curve that comes for those working with an unfamiliar product. Secondly, making certain the people with the necessary skills are on-site and available when needed can also be a challenge.
