Let’s face it, it’s all about how it looks, isn’t it? Even if the basic function of the screen is to satisfy the city’s demands to hide rooftop equipment or reduce the noise from the equipment, it’d be a bummer if it upset the overall aesthetics of the building.

That’s why our philosophy is if there’s a look you want, we can make it happen. From our corrugated-type metal panels to unique louvers and textured finishes, we’ll make sure you know all your options before settling on the panel that fits your needs. And if our standard options don’t quite fit the bill, we’ll use our custom fabricators to come up with the design you do want.

Check out our Downloads Page and Products page to get a visual of some of the standard options we offer.

Contact us for any panel or color samples you need.

At the end of the day, it’s all about boosting your bottom line, isn’t it? Trying to figure out how to install a complicated product for the first time can cost you. That’s why we’ve made our Simple-Frame screen system, well, simple!

To give you an idea, our installation steps are:

• Load material to the roof.
• Layout where your frames will be attached.
• Fasten frames to the roof structure.
• Adjust for roof pitch.
• Roof in posts.
• Attach facing material with self-drillers.

And that’s it! No additional assembly required, no little parts to worry about, and no special installation method or practice. If you can snap a line and read a level, you can install our system!

We’ve designed our patent-pending system to be as forgiving as possible. That’s why our Simple-Frames allow you to fine-tune the height and adjust for roof pitch, regardless of if you’ve already attached to the roof or not.

Want to adjust for roof pitch? A twist of the rod pushes out or pulls back the front of the frame to get the desired angle.

On a high spot of the roof and worried that the frame will show from the ground? Simply cut off the top of the upright tube to get it level with the others.

We can’t say it enough; building a screen that is tricky to roof in can cost you in several ways. Our system eliminates the need for leaky sleepers or pitch pockets that will need to be serviced in a few short years. We stand firm in our philosophy that the roofing detail should last as long as the roof, and the labor to roof in should not cost you a fortune (those dang sleepers will get you every time!).

That’s why we employ a basic round post design for our frame legs. Simply use the roof manufacturer’s standard pipe flashing detail, and you’re good to go. We’ll even ship our frames with the proper boot pre-installed for you!

Many factors affect how an equipment screen is priced, from site conditions to dimensions of the screen system itself. Although pricing for every project is a little different, buying our equipment screens is very simple. We quickly guide you through the process to get all the information we’ll need to give you an accurate price.

Your time is valuable, so whether you need the full package of frames and panels or you just need one or the other, Contact us right away and we’ll get you exact pricing fast!

Maybe you’ve been on a project where the installation didn’t quite go as planned because of existing site conditions. We’ve been there before, and it’s not fun.

That’s why we put a very high priority on being responsive. If you call, we’ll answer the phone, and there’s no challenge we can’t fix. Our team is full of problem solvers to get your crew up and running fast!

Whether it’s a simple question, help with installation, or help with city departments, we’re ready to help any way we can.

There can be a lot of expectations coming from building departments or your customer that can be tricky to work with when you are doing it on your own, especially on your first screen project. We’ll help you navigate through all that and give you all the resources you need to satisfy all parties. We’ll cover things like:

• Shop drawings
• Superimposed photos
• Paint and panel samples
• Engineering Calculations
• Data Sheets

We’ll even work directly with the cities or architect to help push your project through the permitting process quickly.

Our system is incredibly easy to install. Just check out our installation PowerPoint and video to see how quick and simple our framing system goes down.

But we understand apprehension on starting anything new, and we want the opportunity to make sure there are no questions unanswered. That’s why we help you get started on your first project. We’ll actually jump on the roof with you at the time of the installation and work through some tips and tricks to boost your crew’s confidence, and we won’t leave until you feel like you’ve got it down.

Check out our “Trying Something New” story below for an experience from another contractor.

Try getting a warranty on an equipment screen designed from scratch. The steel provider won’t do it because they don’t want the responsibility after the metal has been modified, and the fabricator won’t do it because then they’d have to vouch for the manufacturer’s practices, and let’s just say the contractor’s probably not jumpin up and down either.

Fortunately, you can have you cake and eat it too! When we provide complete engineering for our Simple-Frame equipment screens, we show our confidence in our product by backing it with a full 30 year warranty which guarantees against structural failure in that time frame.

You’re busy with so many other aspects of your project, and a mechanical screen often is one of the things left to the last minute. Our CSI specifications, CAD drawings, and details will save you time and effort well spent on other facets of your work. Our goal is to free up your time as much as possible.

Eliminate RFI’s and addendums by contacting us to get job specific specs and details that you can plug directly into your plans with no additional responsibility placed on you. We’ll make sure that there’s no confusion between your plans and the contractor.

Contact us today to get your personalized specs and drawings or samples.

Let’s get straight to the point; there’s no need for you to design an equipment screen from scratch. We’ll go as far as design your entire screen project for free, including a roof plan drawing showing the screen layout and correct detail drawings you can drop straight into your plans. If you prefer a more hands on approach, we’ll provide any supplemental drawings and information you need to make your work simpler, from attachment details to personalized CSI format specifications and DWG files.

If you’ve ever seen multiple roofs with a screen, you know that there are many different flavors of screen design. Often a mechanical screen can be designed while losing the bigger picture of how it will affect the rest of the building. For example, the following can have a big impact:

• What’s the most cost-efficient layout?
• What type of facing do you use?
• How will you attach to the roof structure and how will that affect the existing framing?
• How will the roof penetrations be waterproofed?
• How does the screen allow access for a service technician to the mechanical units?
• Is there a big enough area for the service technician to work if needed?

Regardless if you design screens often or this is you first time, we make the process effortless for you. We work with you to answer these questions and flesh out your options while also keeping the big picture in mind, making sure the screen only has a positive impact on your building.

Call us anytime for more information and help, whether you’re in the brainstorming phase and need ideas, or are near complete and just need the finishing touch.
