New roof screens are typically added to shield mechanical equipment from sight. There are many unique constraints when designing a roof screen to be installed on an existing roof. The existing framing should be utilized as much as possible to minimize the cost of installation. There are usually high wind forces acting against the roof screen which must be transferred into the roof. When possible, upgrades from below the roof should be eliminated.
