Since 1968, Sunshield Iron has helped homeowners, builders, contractors, businesses, and property owners create custom ironwork and awning systems with permanence, proportion, and dependable performance.
Founded as Sunshield Iron and Awning Works, the company grew from custom awnings into handrails, fencing, gates, automation, and specialty iron fabrication across the region.
Sunshield began as an awning company and expanded naturally as customers asked for handrails and custom metalwork. That practical beginning still guides the company today: listen carefully, understand the property, solve the need, and build something that improves it for decades.
Today, Sunshield provides custom ironwork, awnings, gate systems, automation, and commercial fabrication for clients across Upstate South Carolina, the Charlotte region, and Western North Carolina.

The team now concentrates on custom handrails, awnings, iron fencing, driveway gates, gate automation, and refined fabrication for homes, businesses, and commercial properties while maintaining the company’s original roots in custom awning fabrication and installation.
In a field often shaped by small operations, Sunshield Iron brings the stability of an established company, a working fabrication shop, and more than five decades of consistent quality work.
The goal is simple: provide the railing, gate, fence, awning, or custom piece the property needs, then build it well enough to last beyond one lifetime.
Sunshield approaches each project as a long-term addition to the property, not a temporary improvement.
More than five decades of consistent quality work create a level of confidence that is difficult to improvise.
Clients can visit the shop while their project is being made, giving the work a tangible, transparent quality.
Ironwork and awnings are shaped to complement the property, improve safety and function, and add visual value without overpowering the architecture.
Steel products include recycled content, and finished work is designed for long-term service and dependable performance.
Commercial and industrial experience adds discipline, safety awareness, coordination, and a deadline-focused mindset to every project.
The process begins at the home, business, or project site. The team reviews the need, studies the property, shares portfolio examples, and helps the client select a design direction before preparing a written estimate.
From there, fabrication and installation are managed by an experienced team, with a typical turnaround averaging three to four weeks depending on project scope.
Interior and exterior safety elements with custom proportion and finish.
