Home » Shade Canopies & Awnings

Awnings and canopies provide sun, rain, and wind protection for commercial, residential, and recreational environments.   This improves the environmental quality of life for human beings by making us less vulnerable to the raw fury of the forces of nature which can pound us in a moment’s notice. 

Sun Canopy Protection

Sun canopies can be used in almost every setting in commercial and residential environments.  They offer the advantages of reduced light, less heat absorption, and less heat transfer, which in commercial environments spells lower cooling bills and reduced overhead.  Site-specific, custom canopies are the specialty of our expert team who will design your sun protection to fit your particular building, event, or grounds.  These awnings are also designed to take a beating from wind and rain as well, so even when the sun is not shining the materials remain in good shape and ready to perform again as soon as the storm passes. 

Sun canopies are used extensively for UV Protection in outdoor recreation and park areas.  They are also excellent covers for garden centers where plants need sunlight, but not too much sunlight.  Other applications include skylight covers; roll up curtains for both indoor and outdoor use, and tension shade structures for clear span protection.  Custom shades for home, garden, business, and recreational environments can be ordered and designed through our material handling team. 

Also, temporary and permanent shade structures can be ordered from Visionmasters, whose expertise in materials and design guarantees a competitively priced, cost-effective solution for your solar protection requirements.

Rain Protection Canopies

Rain carries with it its own set of hazards to homes, businesses, and recreational facilities.  Our rain awnings are custom-designed for specific applications in particular environments using the best engineering techniques and highest quality of materials.  Everything from rain awnings, canopies, tension structures, and flood abatement systems are available in both custom commercial and custom residential designs. 

Common applications include rain protection for office building and home windows.  Special door protection is also available to protect entryways from getting wet and creating slip and fall hazards.  Free standing canopies and awnings can be ordered in a multitude of sizes for areas between commercial buildings in office parks.  Tensions structures can also be designed provide clear span protection to these commercial areas as well. 

Flood control is perhaps the most important aspect of rain protection.  Visionmasters designs and coordinates installation of manually operated flood barriers, both permanent and portable.  Automatic flood gates can also be ordered for complete protection in any commercial or recreational area.
