Features

Long lasting 100% aluminum

100% Aluminum – Long Lasting

The entire line of APEX products will never rust, warp, or rot. All components are low maintenance and will last much longer than wood or steel.

Easy Installation

Easy Installation

Our commercial canopies are modular and bolt together easily.

Internal Drainage System

Internal Drainage System

Canopies are designed with a discreet internal gutter and drainage system to divert water away from walkways.

Reconfigurable

Reconfigurable

Since the system is modular, ramps, stairs, and railings can be reused or reconfigured as your needs change.

Multiple Color Options

Multiple Color Options

Our entryway canopies come in a standard white powder-coated finish, offering a clean and modern look.

Custom color options are available to match your building’s trim or create a unique accent. This durable, weather-resistant powder coating won’t chip or fade, maintaining its appearance over time.

HPD/LEED/ESG

Prefabricated systems are typically made with 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys containing ≥99% and ≥50% recycled content.  Some prefabricated systems can help contribute to several LEED v4.1 credits and other green building rating systems.

How the drainage works

With a modular design, all entry canopies have built-in gutters. Using canopy posts as downspouts, water drains from post outlets, smartly channeling water away from walkways. An integrated deflector located in the post outlet controls the water flow.

Built with 100% industrial-grade aluminum, the canopy and posts will not rust, deform, or rot.

Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

The quality was fantastic, and they showed up quickly. From the time they were pulled off the delivery truck, the stairs were assembled, stood up, and lag bolted into the floor in under 1 hour. We really couldn’t be happier with the whole experience we have had with Upside Innovations. Plus, the stairs are much sturdier than I had even hoped for. Below is a picture of the steps installed on the side of our gun range. Thanks again for the great job.

Upside innovations was a pleasure.

Upside Innovations was a pleasure to work with from design to delivery. Nick Bishop was responsive and quick to get a quote started, and Tish Carroll did an excellent job shepherding the job through the engineering design, fabrication, and shipping stages, expediting the process when the deadlines got tighter on my end. The product arrived early and was a pleasure to install – all of the hardware clearly marked and bagged, and the pallet strapped and wrapped securely. These stairs are being used for robotics research/testing and are working flawlessly. I would recommend Upside to anyone looking for professional crossover stairs for their project or building.

So easy to work with!

Upside was so easy to work with! From estimating, to product selection, and all the way to delivery, they were very responsive and easy to work with. When we need another set of stairs, we will be buying them from Upside Innovations.

Thank you for the quality work.

Thank you for the quality work. The stairs definitely enhance the look at Lakeside [Garden Apartments]. We appreciate your service to us, and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

The steps are well built.

The steps are well built and sturdy enough to handle our needs safely but yet light enough for two men to move without the use of equipment.
