Dorchester Awning Company Introduces Proprietary Aluminum Frames for Custom Fixed Awnings
Kingston, MA, May 1, 2024 — Dorchester Awning Company LLC, a leading New England awning company specializing in custom residential and commercial awnings, is pleased to announce the launch of Kingston Engineered Aluminum Extrusions® for its line of fixed frame awnings. These proprietary extrusions, developed by our sister company, are custom-designed specifically for use in awning frames and will be produced by a leading regional aluminum extrusion mill. Dorchester Awning retains full design rights to the new system.
“We are excited to bring this advanced awning frame solution to our customers,” said Moosa E. Moosa, CEO of Dorchester Awning Company. “Our engineered aluminum frames provide a durable alternative to traditional steel awnings while maintaining the quality, strength, and long-lasting performance that our customers expect from a custom awning.”
These new frames enhance the structural integrity and lifespan of our custom fixed frame awnings while offering excellent corrosion resistance. The design also makes it easier for customers to update their fabric canopy without needing to replace the entire awning frame.
Key benefits of our new fixed awning frame system include:
- Long-lasting durability and weather resistance
- Reduced maintenance over time
- Easy replacement of awning fabric
- Ideal for both residential awnings and commercial storefronts
