We also celebrated Helios as an official member of the Arch-Fab product family. For us, Helios was born out of a vision to offer our clients a turnkey and economical solution to providing exterior sun control on a building. Helios was one of our first officially named products and can now be found on thousands of buildings nation-wide.
How did Arch-Fab decide on the name “Helios”? It’s unlikely that you’ll find it on the top list of most popular baby names. In Greek mythology, Helios was the son of Hyperion and Theia. Helios was described as a handsome titan crowned with the shining aureole of the Sun, who drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day to earth-circling Oceanus and through the world-ocean returned to the East at night.
Helios,
You’ve grown and changed in many ways over the years and we’re proud of the support you’ve given to general contractors and architects alike. From the sleepless nights of inception, working through your extruded aluminum design and envisioning all of your potential, to nurturing you as we took our first steps together to integrate lighting, and watching you grow into taller fascia options, decorative reveals and extruded “c” channel fascia’s. Whether you’re mounted on a wall or supported by posts, your character is strong. We’ve seen you take on all types of finishes, from powder coat, to anodize and Kynar. We’ve watched you shine in yellow as bright as the sun, green as a grassy meadow, red as fire, and black as night. No matter what mother earth throws at you, you’ll never rust.
Your future is bright, and you’re loved and appreciated by many for shielding them from driving rains and the brutal rays of the sun. We eagerly await the arrival of your patented brother or sister!
Love,
Your Arch-Fab Family
