American Structures & Design

AS&D is a premier US-based designer, manufacturer, and distributor of aluminum railing, balcony, sunshade, and patio cover systems. We sell exclusively to dealers, distributors, and wholesalers in the residential and commercial construction industries. We source our aluminum through leading industrial suppliers who use a significant percentage of recycled aluminum in their manufacturing processes. This gives us the competitive advantage to provide environmentally friendly products that are durable, lightweight, and strong. We design our systems to be ready to install and easy to handle. As a family-owned manufacturer, we prioritize building long-term relationships with you and your company, while also supporting our local and national communities.
