Universal Builders Supply Debuts Overhead Construction Protection Solution

While UBS has been offering variations of upscale overhead protection solutions for decades, increased customer demand for more aesthetically pleasing options drove the team to develop the Canopy concept, which offers multiple benefits including a more appealing contemporary look, better sight lines of the building under construction, wider openings, more spacing for pedestrian traffic, colorful and customizable LED lighting, as well as dramatic night lighting and durable weather-resistant finish — all while meeting code and maintaining structural integrity.

The UBS Canopy has a 300 psf rating, enabling the Canopy Protection System to be deployed throughout the country for new construction, façade restoration and maintenance projects. Frame components are made from aluminum, and the four-layer painted finish is resistant to all weather conditions. The open mesh parapet is also designed to accommodate custom signage, and the deck construction is available in a variety of materials.
