Awning Manufacturing & Installation

Quality Control

Production teams work under an incentive-based quality control mandate that minimizes errors and intercepts mistakes before they leave our doors. Quality control isn't at the end of the line--it's up and down the line, integral to every stage and every step.

Fabric Production

Our sewing department is well equipped with the latest technologies in fabric production.   AI can offer many different techniques and styles to complete your job. Each job is cut and sewn to job specifications.  Chose from custom sewing or use newest method of heat seaming.

Frame Construction

AI Innovations uses 0.10" aluminum extrusion to form its awnings. More durable than the 0.0625" extrusion used by other awning makers. Stronger. But light in weight and easy to handle. All welds are ground to eliminate sharp edges that could tear the fabric. Chrome aluminum aerosol is used to coat the weld and conceal any black carbon residue.

Optional Painted Finish

The aluminum frames can be painted for color matching or coordination with awning fabrics and existing building motif. AI Innovations uses the Matthews Painting System and can be matched to several popular paint brands or PMS numbers.

Fabric-to-Frame Attachment

AI Innovations utilizes a staple-in system for attaching the fabric to the frame. First, the awning fabric is stretched onto its frame. Then, it is stapled into a staple-groove formed in the frame extrusion. Next, PVC trim is wedged into the staple groove-concealing the staples while creating a sharp, clean-line appearance.

The staple-in method causes the fabric to fit tight on the frame, tighter than other methods. It looks better and it stands up to weather better. Winds can't buffet the fabric against the frame, so wear is prolonged and appearance sustained
