Specialized Mechanical Equipment Screens: Faux Bricks, Stones, and Cement

Did you know mechanical equipment screening’s frequently required by law? Depending on where you live in Fargo, ND, you might be subject to local codes mandating screens tall enough to conceal dumpsters, rooftop equipment, generators, and similar installations. Generally speaking, contractors offer traditional louvered screening—the kind fashioned from generic gray slats spaced just far enough apart to permit limited airflow and visibility. But in some cases, it benefits you to have more elegantly designed panels—ones that match the looks of and blend into building exteriors. This is where our architectural/mechanical screening division, PalmSHIELD—and their Brick & Stone series—come into play!

To craft these panels, PalmSHIELD has partnered with Texture Plus®, one of the leading manufacturers of polymer-based building materials for the last thirty-plus years. Texture Plus® has produced entire series of infill styles, each designed to resemble materials such as cement, bricks, and stones. PalmSHIELD places these infill within our custom-made framing to produce attractive, aesthetically pleasing mechanical equipment screens. These panels are quintessential for clients who manage old-fashioned, historic buildings or have a venue with a unique location—say, by the beach or near the woods. PalmSHIELD offers unique screening in the following series. Be sure to also check out our YouTube videos for each individual product!

Faux Brick Mechanical Equipment Screens

Generic gray screening often appears distracting and out of place against a traditional brick-and-mortar background. To avoid this visual clash, we recommend our Faux Brick style screening. These panels simulate the appearance—the shape, color, even the texture—of masonry, without the long installation hours! As you can see, the “bricks” in these panels have been expertly crafted to capture even the tiniest of details—such as shades in the surface and bumps and pockets in the ”cement” between bricks.
