Custom Business Awnings, Curved Awnings, Box Awnings
Good design is good for business, and it doesn't cost more with American Canvas & Awning. This entrance awning draws the eye to the doorway in the center of a long row of store windows by using a lighter color and slight projection. The graphics glow at night with the light from the store.
Translucent vinyl was R.F welded using the customer's graphics, then the canvas was cut out behind, so the name glows white and the logo glows red.
This new awning looks good from inside the store, too. A white mesh ceiling panel from the front of the awning to the top edge of the store window opened the view from within, giving the store a more modern and open feeling. The mesh ceiling panel conceals lighting fixtures designed to illuminate the sidewalk and to create the backlit illumination that makes the awning and store graphics glow at night. The mesh ceiling panel provides a finished look from the sidewalk and conceals the repaired frame and the new, stiffer subframe that gives equal support to both the top and main bows and the long curve around the corner of the building.
High awnings seem to enlarge the short windows, balancing them visually in a wide, plain wall. The boldly striped awning fabric creates visual impact, and the high placement allows maximum interior light.
Storefront Awnings Our Specialty
The awnings for Andronico's Market in Berkeley were designed to echo the traditional awnings in the neighborhood while expressing Andronico's strong design style.
Tim McGill worked closely with the store designers, creating an open sided fixed awning with a light and airy effect, balanced with larger 1.5 inch tubes on the support frames. The concept drawings he provided for the city helped speed the approval process.
