Sized for Your Workforce Requirements
Custom Sizing
Break area canopy sizes are determined by customer
specifications based on workforce population and
operational needs.
Workforce Accommodation
Canopy sizing often correlates with facility employee count. We accommodate facility-specific requirements from compact installations to expansive coverage areas.
Span Capabilities
Our canopies can span up to 55′ between columns with cantilever overhangs up to 15′, providing maximum coverage while minimizing column interference with employee circulation and break area activities.
Column Placement
Optimized column spacing and placement designed to minimize interference with main building footer as well as break area functionality while maintaining structural design.
Snow Drift Accomodations
Engineering calculations include snow drift considerations from adjacent buildings and structures, ensuring structural integrity in facilities with large building proximities.
Lighting Systems
LED canopy lighting provides safe usage during evening shifts, night operations, and winter months with reduced daylight hours. Proper illumination ensures employee safety and comfort during all operational periods.
Drainage & Weather Protection
Complete drainage systems with internal and external downspout options prevent water accumulation and ensure employee comfort during inclement weather.
Professional Appearance
Clean, aesthetic design maintains professional facility appearance while providing functional employee space. Design coordination with facility architecture and corporate image standards.
Proximity to Operations
Break area placement near work areas enables employees to return to operations efficiently when breaks end, supporting workflow.
Shift Management Support
Large coverage areas accommodate multiple shifts and peak break periods without overcrowding.
Year-Round Functionality
Weather protection enables extended outdoor break area usage supporting employee wellness initiatives throughout the year.
