SKYSCAPE is on a mission to be the nation's leading provider of aluminum canopy systems. With a focus on exceptional customer support, we deliver pre-engineered canopies distinguished by uncompromising quality. From design to engineering to execution, we're here to assist you every step of the way.
Unlike brake-formed aluminum or bolt-together canopy systems, SKYSCAPE® Canopies are fabricated using extruded aluminum components for unbeatable strength and durability. Capable of withstanding even the harshest weather conditions, they can last years without rusting or corroding. And because our manufactured canopies are welded, not thru-fastened, field installation is simplified to ensure a top-quality product with a fast completion time.
SKYSCAPE® offers specialized services for architects, engineers, general contractors, facility managers and property managers. In addition to engineering and installation support, we also provide design assistance. We can configure a custom canopy system based on most design concepts and size needs, load, and engineering requirements. Plus, our wide selection of standard profiles, design options and finishes, gives you the flexibility to enhance virtually any architectural aesthetic.
So whether you're an architect looking for design inspiration, a general contractor with a tight completion schedule, an engineer concerned with code requirements, or a property owner in need of an "update" solution, you can trust SKYSCAPE® to deliver for you.
