I’m sure you have walked into a commercial building or restaurant and thought, wow, these people must be geniuses. Do you know this can happen to your business too? You may be wondering how to pull it up. One of the surest ways is by installing commercial shade sail structures that match your business’ aesthetics. Have you thought of that before? What do customers see when they first enter your office or restaurant? How do they feel while there? Is the environment appealing, attractive, or just there? Did you know you can use shade structures to create that wow experience? Can you make a statement before your customers even interact with your staff?
In today’s article, we give you five tips for designing custom shade structures for your business and catching your customers’ attention when they walk into your premises.
Purpose
Why do you want to install a shade structure for your business? What’s your primary purpose? Answering this question will go a long way in helping you decide what shade structure to choose. For example, your goal might be to block out the sun’s rays when your customers are having a good time outside. In this case, go for fabrics specifically designed to reflect the sun’s rays and have brighter colors.
On the other hand, if your shade structure is more for snow blockage, you can go for bold design options and color schemes. You might want your shade structure to enhance your brand’s appeal, set up more usable and functional space, or enjoy significant savings on your energy bills. You can even choose a shade structure that combines all these goals. For each instance, however, you want to select a shade that meets your overall aesthetic goals.
Brand Image
Once you know why you are installing a shade structure, you need to focus on your brand image. Your business has its own set of values and messages that you give out to your consumers. Thus, you want to choose a shade structure that will make a statement for your brand. This is everything from the color you choose to what you put on the shade structure.
Check your shade structures to determine their options and how they can blend with your existing aesthetics. Put your logo on the shade structure to enhance your brand’s image. Choose fonts that are legible enough and can be read from afar. A well-branded shade structure goes a long way in building your reputation and attracting customers.
Design
I imagine you are planning on installing a shade structure that will blend effortlessly with the architecture of your building. You want to avoid a structure that draws attention to your business for the wrong reasons. So, you want to be careful to work with companies that bring out the best parts of your business. The good thing is that ShadePro can do that for you. We can customize our shade structures to meet your business needs. We are flexible enough to get you even the shape you want. Do you want a rectangular, triangular shade structure? We can do this for you.
If you choose shade structures that contradict the overall look of your building, then you will have failed at the task. The goal is to have a shade structure that compliments the aesthetics and architecture of the business. Keep your eyes on the plan.
Environmental Factors
Remember to consider the weather of the area you are installing your shade structure. Ask yourself what the weather is like in your region. For example, if your business is in an area that rains a lot during summer, you need a shade structure that can handle adverse weather conditions. In this case, you can choose a water-resistant shade structure that can withstand rain, wind, and even hail. However, if your business is located in an area with very little precipitation, you need a shade structure that can withstand heat and UV rays. A heavy-duty commercial shade sail fabric or metal shade structure works perfectly well and can withstand high temperatures.
Fabric Quality
You want to have a keen eye for the quality of fabric you choose for your shade structures. Most commercial shade sail structures are made with different materials. Thus, you will have the luxury of choosing one according to your specific needs. As discussed earlier, you might need shades that block the sun’s rays. In this case, you want to choose shade structures that use unique UV mesh fabrics because they effectively filter out harmful rays in open spaces like swimming pools. If your main focus is entryways, you can go for custom solutions made with vinyl to ensure complete protection against the sun and rain.
However, if you need recommendations on the best shade materials, you talk to us here at ShadePro. We have heavy-duty commercial shade sails for outdoor use. With ShadePro, you won’t have to worry about guessing the quality of your material.
