Local requirement
Rooftop equipment must be located and screened so it does not detract from the environment.
Custom steel rooftop equipment screening for LA commercial buildings - built to the citywide design guidelines that require rooftop equipment to be located and screened so it does not detract from the environment.
LA's citywide design guidelines explicitly direct project teams to locate and screen rooftop equipment so it does not detract from the environment. Screening is a design guideline requirement that comes up in plan check and design review, not just a courtesy.
Rooftop equipment must be located and screened so it does not detract from the environment.
Westside office campuses (Century City, Culver City, Santa Monica), Hollywood production facilities and studio-adjacent commercial, Downtown Los Angeles mixed-use towers and adaptive reuse, South Bay industrial-to-office conversions (El Segundo, Torrance, Hawthorne).
Rooftop plans, elevations, attachment details, finish schedules, and service access paths.
High-visibility corridors include Wilshire Boulevard - one of LA's primary commercial spines, high pedestrian and vehicle traffic through Koreatown, Westlake, and the Westside, Sunset Boulevard - mixed-use and entertainment corridor from Echo Park through West Hollywood to the Pacific Coast Highway, Hollywood Boulevard - high tourist volume, design-sensitive corridor. Rooftop screening quality is easy to see from streets and nearby buildings in this market.
Traffic congestion affects freight delivery windows - early AM delivery often necessary in dense areas, Parking and staging restrictions on Hollywood Boulevard, Wilshire, and other major corridors, HOA and building management approval required for rooftop access on many mixed-use projects.
We structure shop drawings to support AHJ review and reduce permit comments.
TGIC polyester powder coat for UV resistance in Southern California sun, Galvanized substrate with powder coat topcoat for coastal-adjacent projects west of the 405.
We align screen scope to local permit triggers from the start.
Every system is built for your exact roof and equipment layout.
Doors and clearances are planned so techs can do the work safely.
We keep details plain so install crews and PMs can move fast.
Yes. LA's citywide design guidelines explicitly direct project teams to locate and screen rooftop equipment so it does not detract from the environment. This is a plan check and design review consideration, not just a recommendation.
Yes. Our shop drawings include wind and seismic load documentation consistent with CBC requirements. We coordinate with the project's structural engineer of record on post-mounted and ballasted systems.
Yes. We powder coat in-house and can match standard stucco colors or provide color samples from our finish schedule. If your building has a custom color, send us the spec and we will match it.
Yes. We have experience with non-penetrating and low-profile screen systems appropriate for historic district projects where the screening solution must pass design review board scrutiny. We can structure the submittal package for that review process.
