Steel Stitch™

The Staple-in Awning Frame System

The Steel Stitch™ System offers flexibility in design and fabrication of interior and exterior awnings, canopies and back-lit signs. The aluminum alloy 6063-T5 mill finish frame system utilizes the "staple-in" method of attaching fabric, which is taken directly from the roll and stapled into a channel in the frame. A PVC or fabric covered PVC finishing trim is then driven into the channel to cover the staples. With the use of divider strips to join sections and the exclusive, patented FlashStrip™, which forms a watertight seal against building surfaces, the result is an attractive, seamless, wrinkle-free and leak-proof awning, canopy or sign. Steel Stitch’s most popular staple-in shape, a 1 in. square profile, is also available in a high strength steel called GatorStitch™. GatorStitch can be welded to other steel members for applications requiring maximum strength.
