Louvered Roof Equipment Screens

Louvers can be used as vision barriers to hide mechanical equipment and other unsightly items. The advantage of louver blades is that they allow airflow, thereby allowing closer distances to air handling equipment while reducing the wind loads imposed on structural framing. Since we are the industry leader, we provide a variety of mounting options - more than any other manufacturer.

Direct Mount

Direct mount equipment screens arrive complete with a framng system for mounting directly to mechanical equipment, eliminating the requirement for roof penetrations. Models available:
V2KSD and V4JSD

Standard Mount

V2KS

V4JS

V4YH

V6JN

V2TH

V2TV

V4YV

Prefab Structural Framing System

Product Design for Standard Mount Styles

Roof equipment screens are offered in several models to allow flexibility in design. Blades can run vertical or horizontal to mesh with surrounding facade and architectural lines. There are also various blade depths to allow for your desired blade spacing.

Since the typical line of sight is from the ground on most buildings, a horizontal blade equipment screen with standard blade profiles will have the blades inverted to eliminate all sight-through from ground level. If the blades run vertical, a "sight-proof" blade profile should be used to ensure complete obscurity of equipment when viewed from various angles.

If you do not find the "look" you desire in your browsing, please contact us for a custom design. The possibilities for equipment screens are endless..

A variety of finishes are available from our Equipment Screens Finishes selection chart. Roof screens can be painted with a baked enamel or Kynar 500 finish, or anodized aluminum. A variety of standard colors are available. Custom colors can be selected by sending us a color chip. We will use our computer color match system to precisely match the equipment screen color to other building facade components.

Equipment Screens are commonly specified in project documents under these divisions:

Installation

Installation for Architectural Louvers standard mount roof equipment screens is simple. Each louvered screen is segmented into sections (up to 120" wide) that are individually mounted to support members on the roof. Each section comes with mounting clips to affix the sections to the structural supports. Once these sections are mounted, the screen appears as a continuous line of louvered equipment screen. Care should be taken to provide enough structural support for desired wind load ratings. The roof screen sections are designed to handle approximately 100 mph winds (30 lbs. per square foot) with minimal deflection. Options for higher wind load ratings are available upon request.
