This 54-foot continuous suspended awning was recently installed on a mixed-use building in Davis, West Virginia. The project shows how Upside’s awnings can be customized to seamlessly integrate with modern architecture, improving both the appearance and functionality of commercial spaces.

Custom color-matched powder coating ensures this suspended awning blends seamlessly with the building’s architecture, appearing as a natural extension.

Before Image

The suspended awning, constructed of industrial-grade aluminum, extends 54 feet along the building’s facade. Its cantilever design eliminates support columns, resulting in unobstructed space beneath. This maximizes usability while maintaining visual appeal. The awning features a custom powder-coated finish that matches the building’s existing color scheme. Its profile integrates with the structure’s contemporary design while providing weather protection.

A unique feature of this customized suspended awning is its color-matched powder-coated finish that integrates seamlessly with the building’s existing color scheme and appears as a natural extension of the architecture rather than an afterthought.
