This brochure introduces Linea Screens by ModWerks, an architectural equipment screening solution designed to help project teams meet building code requirements, hide rooftop and ground‑mounted equipment from public view, deter vandalism, and integrate seamlessly with existing building and equipment conditions. It provides a clear overview of available panel types, open‑air louvers, sound‑attenuating options, mounting methods, certifications, and turnkey installation—positioning Linea Screens as a practical and visually consistent solution for commercial facilities seeking compliance and aesthetic alignment while maintaining long‑term equipment protection.
This outlines how Linea Screen solutions provide an attractive, safe way to protect mechanical equipment using a broad range of panel materials tailored to sound reduction, visual blocking, open‑air screening, or design‑driven applications. Screens support code compliance by blocking views of rooftop equipment from public roads and, when paired with sound‑attenuating louvers or panels, help meet noise criteria at the equipment or property line. The system is suitable for any size equipment, whether mounted on rooftops or at grade, making it adaptable to a variety of project conditions.
Readers will also find a detailed overview of panel and louver options. Solid metal corrugated panels can be installed vertically or horizontally and come in a variety of colors, allowing project teams to align the screens with the architectural lines of the building while preserving durability and equipment protection. The brochure lists several panel profiles—R‑Panel, U‑Panel, and Corrugated Panel—each supporting different design needs and performance preferences. For airflow and system efficiency, the document presents multiple open‑air louvered options, including the 451‑O Frameless Louver (51% open air), 453 Louver (53%), SB6 Sound Block Louver (38%), and 238 Louver (38%). Sound‑absorbing panels can be engineered to meet local acoustic requirements, offering reductions of up to 12 dB at street level to help address site‑specific noise conditions.
The brochure also outlines essential certifications and engineering criteria: Linea Screens are fully IBC2012‑compliant, built to ASCE 7‑10 standards, and standard configurations are rated for 130‑MPH winds for 200‑ft, Category C buildings. When needed, ModWerks provides custom structural calculations, and the resource confirms that products are available with nationwide turnkey installation, simplifying coordination for facility managers and project teams across multiple building types.
Practical constructability is a consistent theme. The brochure highlights multiple mounting configurations—Unit‑Mounted, Steel Post‑Mounted, and Ballast Box systems—allowing screens to adapt to rooftop load constraints, warranty protections, or structural requirements. It also introduces the Octo System, a fully adjustable bracket system designed to enhance field adaptability and streamline installation. Beyond screening alone, Linea offers catwalks and platforms, supporting safe access around mechanical systems and expanding the functional value of the solution beyond its visual and acoustic role, especially in complex mechanical layouts.
Together, these elements reinforce the brochure’s central takeaway: Linea Screens balance performance, design flexibility, and code compliance, helping teams control sightlines, airflow, and noise levels without compromising overall building aesthetics or maintenance access.
This brochure is a valuable resource for engineers, facility managers, architects, and decision makers assessing equipment screening requirements in commercial buildings, campuses, and other property types. It is particularly useful for those addressing sightline ordinances, noise‑mitigation requirements, and equipment‑access considerations, or for teams selecting panel and louver configurations that align with existing structures. It also benefits stakeholders evaluating wind‑load criteria, mounting strategies, and decisions around including catwalks or platforms within a broader mechanical or architectural scope during early planning.
