Spotlight Series: Exploring the Helios Canopy’s Versatility

When it comes to architectural canopies, customization and functionality are key. Whether the focus is structural performance, aesthetic appeal, or both, our Helios canopies offer a range of versatile solutions to meet diverse architectural needs.

It’s easy to assume that all canopies are the same, but they’re not! They vary significantly in structure and design, tailored to specific project requirements.

Our Helios canopy is a popular choice for projects requiring sleek design and structural efficiency. Here’s a closer look at its customizable features.

Gutter Fascia

The standard Helios gutter fascia is a welded system, while the bolt track features a mechanically fastened design.

The choice of gutter fascia is determined on a per-project basis, with the bolt track being costing more, but advantageous in specific scenarios – such as when external finishing is required or when required by design specifications.

Our standard Helios fascia size is 3×8, but is available in various sizes:

  • 4”x 6” Gutter (6” Fascia Height)
  • 3”x 8” Gutter (8” Standard Fascia Height)
  • 4”x 10” Gutter (10”)
  • 4”x 12” Gutter (12”)
  • 4”x 6” Bolt Track Gutter
  • 3”x 8” Bolt Track Gutter

Attachments for Helios Canopies

Helios canopies allow for additional customization through various attachments, like:

  • 1”x 2” Angle Extension
  • 2”x 4” Angle Extension
  • C-Channel Extrusion

These extrusions attach to the Helios fascia for a customized canopy look. Angle extensions add height with a visible seam, while the c-channel creates a c-shaped profile.

Deck Pan

The deck pan forms the canopy’s horizontal surface, with options based on engineering requirements:

  • 12” Deck Pan: A cost-effective solution made from pre finished 24-gauge coil, suitable for standard spans.
  • 8” Deck Pan: An extruded component used for spans exceeding 5 feet or areas with higher snow loads, ensuring maximum structural integrity.
