Helios Canopy

You may have seen Architectural Fabrication’s Helios canopies on popular destinations in North Texas like Kroger grocery stores, sleek new apartment complexes, or even Indian Motorcycle here in Fort Worth.

 

In Greek mythology, Helios was a Titan who drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day.  In the way Helios was the god of the sun, our Helios canopies can effectively control the sun on your project.
