Commercial Canopy Systems We Install
NSS Exteriors installs a variety of commercial canopy systems designed to serve different property types and purposes. We use products from leading manufacturers such as Floline, Mapes, and Kalwall. Our experts will walk you through your options and help you make an informed decision. The most common styles include:
- Metal Canopy Systems – Metal canopies are built for durability and long-term performance. They hold up well against harsh weather conditions, including the heavy snow and wind that Chicago winters are known for.
- Aluminum Canopy Systems – Aluminum canopies are lightweight yet sturdy and resist rust and corrosion. They’re a popular choice for businesses that want a modern look with minimal maintenance.
- Commercial Entrance Canopies
– Commercial entrance canopies frame the entry point of a building, creating a welcoming first impression for customers and visitors while also providing shelter from rain, snow, and sun.
Our Commercial Canopy Installation Process
We follow a clear, organized process from the first consultation to the final installation. You can expect:
Initial Consultation – The process begins with a conversation about your goals, building requirements, and budget. This helps our team understand exactly what you need before any work begins.
- Custom Design and Planning – Once the project scope is established, we’ll create a design plan that accounts for your building’s dimensions, local building codes, and aesthetic preferences.
- Material Selection – You’ll choose from a range of high-quality materials, including aluminum canopy systems and other metal options, based on your priorities for durability, appearance, and cost.
- Professional Installation – Trained installers handle every aspect of the exterior canopy installation, ensuring the structure is secure, level, and properly installed.
- Final Walkthrough – After installation is complete, our team will review the work with you to confirm everything meets or exceeds expectations.
Benefits of Installing Commercial Canopy Systems
Commercial canopy systems offer the following practical advantages that go beyond appearance:
- Weather Protection – Canopies shield entrances and walkways from rain, snow, and direct sunlight, reducing wear on doors, flooring, and other exterior surfaces.
- Improved Curb Appeal – A professionally installed canopy gives a building a finished, polished look that can attract more customers and increase perceived value.
- Energy Efficiency – Canopies that cover windows and entry points can reduce heat gain during summer months, lowering cooling costs for the building.
- Branding Opportunity – Custom canopies can be designed to reflect your company’s colors, logo, or signage, reinforcing brand identity at the point of entry.
