Roof Screens

Commercial Roof Screens

When you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing method of hiding mechanical equipment, or if your municipality requires you to increase noise reduction and still allow airflow, Lawrence can custom fabricate rooftop equipment screens and install various rooftop panel options. Many commercial rooftop buildings have HVAC units, exhaust ventilation fans, cooling towers, ducts, pipework, and communication systems that are unsightly features.

The appearance of your building’s façade is a direct reflection of your company brand image to your customers and prospects. You can choose architectural screening from many different designs and material:

  • Metal
    • Solid
    • Corrugated
    • Perforated
  • Fabric
    • Solid
    • Mesh

Roof Screens: Power, Protection & Performance from the Top Down

Transform Rooftops into Architectural Statements

Modern rooftops do more than cover a building—they generate energy, shield equipment, and define architectural character. At Lawrence Fabric & Metal Structures, we combine innovative roof screens with advanced solar technology to create intelligent, energy-efficient rooftop solutions.

Whether you’re concealing HVAC units, rooftop solar panels, or other essential mechanical equipment, our louvers, screens, and panels are engineered to boost airflow, increase efficiency, and complement any façade. By integrating photovoltaics, monocrystalline panels, and durable metal framing, we help transform your roof into a high-performance system that works hard while looking stunning.

Why Roof Screens with Solar Integration Are a Game-Changer

  • Sustainable Energy – Harness solar power and renewable energy using high-efficiency solar cells, monocrystalline silicon, or copper indium gallium selenide technology.
  • Improved Airflow & Wind Resistance – Our equipment screens are designed to handle natural wind flow, heat dissipation, and solar exposure.
  • Architectural Strength – Combine steel, aluminum, or copper elements with louvers and wall screens to create a solar roof that enhances your building’s façade.
  • Cost & Energy Efficiency – Generate electricity while reducing consumption and taking advantage of available tax credits for renewable energy installations.
  • Long-Term Warranty & Protection – Every system comes with strong warranties, ensuring your solar system, louvers, and gutter screens remain durable through changing climate conditions.

Versatile Materials and Sustainable Design

We offer a range of architectural screen options to match your building’s structure, roof screen wall, or parapet. Whether you’re maximizing solar energy collection or simply improving your exterior design, our materials and technology are built for performance.

Metal Options

  • Solid Panels – Ideal for maximizing privacy and blocking direct sunlight while supporting solar shingles or additional rooftop solar components.
  • Corrugated Panels – Combine construction strength with integrated solar panel framing and efficient airflow.
  • Perforated Panels – Allow optimal ventilation and energy-efficient design while maintaining visual appeal.

Fabric Options

  • Solid Mesh Fabric – Lightweight and flexible for hybrid solar roofing and shading systems.
  • Mesh Fabric – Encourages natural airflow, heat regulation, and smooth integration with roof screens and equipment screens.

Engineered Technology Meets Modern Construction

Our team of expert engineers uses advanced technology such as the Czochralski method to ensure solar cell quality and performance. Whether you choose amorphous silicon, indium-based thin films, or monocrystalline panels, our fabrication process ensures precision and strength.

We also offer gutter screens, leaf screens, and mesh gutter screens (including gutter screens home depot alternatives) to protect solar roofs, panels, and building infrastructure from debris. With gutter downspout guards, water flows smoothly, protecting both your rooftop solar system and façade.

Built for Energy Efficiency and Architectural Beauty

Every installation is backed by research, proven efficiency, and design excellence. We deliver energy-generating rooftops that are more than just structures—they’re smart investments in the future.

Our systems are engineered for:

  • Maximum watt output and energy efficiency
  • Seamless integration with existing building panels and gutter systems
  • Long-term durability and minimal maintenance
  • Compatibility with rooftop equipment screens and skylight protection (screen for skylight, screen for gutter downspout)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are roof screens and why are they important?

Roof screens are architectural panels or louvers installed on rooftops to conceal mechanical equipment like HVAC units, solar inverters, and communication systems. Aside from enhancing the façade, they improve airflow, reduce noise, protect solar panels, and create a cleaner, more professional look for your building.

Can roof screens be installed with solar panels?

Yes. Our roof screens are designed to work seamlessly with rooftop solar panels, whether you’re using monocrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, or copper indium gallium selenide cells. They help protect panels from wind and debris while allowing maximum sunlight exposure for energy generation.

Will installing roof screens affect solar power efficiency?

Not at all. Our design ensures unobstructed solar energy collection and optimized airflow around photovoltaic systems. Louvers, mesh panels, and perforated metal screens are strategically engineered to enhance system performance—not limit it.

Are your roof screens compatible with community solar systems?

Absolutely. Our screens, panels, and louvers can be customized to fit different system sizes, roof types, and parapet designs while meeting local building codes and renewable energy standards.

What materials are used in the screens?

We use a variety of durable materials including steel, aluminum, and copper, paired with high-quality coatings to withstand heat, wind, and climate fluctuations. Mesh, solid, and corrugated options are available to meet both functional and aesthetic needs.
