New The Look of Metal

Standing-seam metal looks — in custom awning fabric

The bold architectural look taking over the best storefronts — crisp vertical ribs and clean lines — custom-fit to your building, in your color, at a better value than fabricated metal.

  • Architectural curb appeal that reads as premium metal
  • Custom-fit to any storefront — even curves
  • Lighter, faster install · acrylic & vinyl finishes
