The EconoSpan® louver and screen system is ideal for roof top equipment screening or other applications with large areas requiring concealment and ventilation

April 30, 2021

ECONOSPAN® SCREEN SYSTEM

The EconoSpan® louver and screen system is a continuous louver product comprised mainly of roll formed louvers that snap firmly onto “double-gripped” stringers or posts installed on pre-determined intervals. This system is ideal for roof top equipment screening or other applications with large areas requiring concealment and ventilation. It is available in two major styles: Pitched Louver (both 45° and 22-1/2° pitches) and Flat Picket (both horizontal and vertical orientations).

Along with being very attractive, it is also one of the industry’s most affordable systems. Using standard production components, the EconoSpan® system is designed and manufactured as required to be installed on a supporting structure. This allows the supporting structure to be provided locally, based on local code requirements*, yielding further cost savings. This simple “knock-down” product design allows it to be shipped as a kit in relatively small crates with step by step installation drawings making it convenient, simple and relatively quick for general contractors to install.

ISLANDER® SCREEN SYSTEM

03

The all-aluminum Islander® Screen system is comprised of modular louvered panels assembled to order, and affixed to an existing substructure to form an enclosure. The Islander® system is constructed using 1-3/4″ roll-formed louvers, and roll-formed frame components reinforced by an internal extruded aluminum I-beam. Panel sizes are calculated and manufactured to various shapes and sizes according to customer requirements, and ships with complete shop drawings & installation details. This simple system design allows for convenient shipping and quick installation.

The appearance of the Islander® Screen features a traditional, open louver appeal. It is a very low-profile system – only 1-5/8″ thick, and is widely used where a “more aesthetic, less commercial” look is desired. The relatively small louver and tight spacing make it virtually sight-proof, and good for locations close to pedestrian traffic. The product is available in a range of standard colors allowing for quick delivery. Custom color powder finishes are also available upon request.
