As we continue our long march through summertime, it seems like the weather really only deviates between two extremes: hot and hotter. This July, it seems like more of the latter, with temperatures reaching yearly highs day after long day. Pair that with southeast’s infamous humidity, and being outside can feel like walking through a cloud of dog breath. If you or your business operates out of a steel building, chances are you have plenty of fans and vents inside, keeping your workers and inventory cool. But what about outside? One of Design Components Inc.’s metal building canopies might just be the answer.
Metal building canopies: Practical and stylish
DCI’s metal building canopies really serve two purposes; they protect your entryways from the elements while also adding a certain flair to the outside of your metal building. Keeping the brutal summertime sun of the heads and necks of those entering and exiting your building might be the main function of one of our metal building canopies right now, but if we are talking about year-round applications it makes it even easier to justify one of these units. Remember this past spring’s pouring rains? Or even the past decade’s intermittent, infrequent but somehow always crippling snowstorms of the past few winters? One of DCI’s metal building canopies just makes sense, no matter the season.
Beyond just their practical use, one of our metal building canopies can add that special something to the outside of your otherwise drab exterior. Have you ever seen a home without a front step or canopy over the door? It just looks weird. Adding one of metal building canopies also makes it easier for people to locate the entrance to your building; you wouldn’t want customers of employees choosing the wrong entrance and ending up on the factory floor, would you?
Gimme Shelter
How does all this sound? If you own a metal building, you really can’t be without one of these metal building canopies.
