Our Mission:

Project Details:

  • Client: FORTNA Canada Corp
  • Location: Port Credit
  • Scope: Durable Employee Entrance Awning with Signage
  • Installed: July 2020

Our Process:

  • Client Vision Consultation: We began with an in-depth consultation to understand the client's requirements for the awning, focusing on durability and functionality. This step was essential for aligning our design with the company’s rebranding efforts.
  • Site Assessment: A thorough site assessment was conducted to evaluate the entrance area and identify any specific challenges, such as weather exposure and traffic flow. This helped us design an awning that would meet the practical needs of the employees.
  • Design Development: Our design team created custom awning designs that included the company’s new branding elements. The designs incorporated durable materials to ensure the awning could withstand frequent use and harsh weather conditions.
  • Material Selection: We selected high-quality, weather-resistant fabric and durable frame components to ensure the awning’s longevity. The materials were chosen for their ability to endure the local climate while maintaining their structural integrity.
  • Custom Fabrication: Using precision fabrication techniques, we crafted the awning to perfectly fit the entrance. This step ensured that every detail met our high standards of quality and durability.
  • Integrated Signage: To serve the dual purpose of coverage and directional signage, we integrated the company’s new logo and branding elements into the awning design. This provided clear visibility and enhanced the corporate image.
  • Professional Installation: Our experienced installation team carefully installed the awning, ensuring it was securely attached and properly aligned. This step was crucial for maintaining both the structural integrity and visual appeal of the awning.
  • Final Review and Adjustment: After installation, we conducted a thorough review to ensure the awning was functioning perfectly and met the client’s expectations. Any necessary adjustments were made to guarantee a flawless finish.

The Challenge:

The primary challenge was to create an awning that provided durable coverage and served as effective directional signage. The awning needed to reflect the company’s rebranding efforts and withstand frequent use and harsh weather conditions.

Innovative Solution by Leger's Awnings:

We developed a tailored solution that included high-quality, weather-resistant materials and integrated branding elements. The custom design ensured the awning was both functional and visually appealing, aligning with the company’s rebranding goals.

The Outcome:

The new awning has significantly enhanced the functionality and aesthetic appeal of FORTNA Canada Corp’s employee entrance. The integrated signage provides clear direction for staff, while the durable materials ensure long-lasting protection. The project has successfully demonstrated how strategic awning design can support corporate rebranding and operational efficiency.
