What it is

The SCREEN V2KS is a roof equipment screen built as an inverted louver blade vision barrier. The V2KS uses horizontal louver blades with intermediate vertical supports for attachment to structural framing.[2]

The V2KS is a standard-mount equipment screen in the Architectural Louvers equipment-screen family. The V2KS is a 2-inch deep baffle blade screen.[1][2]

How it works

The V2KS uses louver blades to block direct line of sight while allowing air to pass through the screen. The blade arrangement is intended to reduce visible equipment exposure and to permit airflow around mechanical equipment.[1][2]

The V2KS employs horizontal blades with intermediate vertical supports for attachment to structural framing. The V2KS uses a storm baffle blade form, mitered outside corners, and hidden mullion joints at section breaks.[2]

Equipment screens of this class are installed as segmented sections that mount to roof support members or framing. Standard-mount roof equipment screens can be arranged as a continuous louvered line after section installation.[1]

Applications

The V2KS is used as a vision barrier for mechanical equipment and other unsightly items. The V2KS is also used where airflow through the screen is needed while view obstruction is maintained.[1][2]

The V2KS is made to order in sizes from 12 inches wide by 12 inches high up to unlimited size. The V2KS uses heavy gauge aluminum extrusion with a thickness of 0.063 inch and offers paint and anodized metal finishes.[2]

Frequently asked questions

What is the free area of the V2KS?

The V2KS has 48.9 percent free area for a 48 inch by 48 inch panel.[2]

What is the wind load coefficient of the V2KS?

The V2KS has a wind load coefficient of 0.66.[2]

What wind load rating is given for the V2KS?

The V2KS has a 30 psf wind load rating.[2]

What visibility does the V2KS provide?

The V2KS provides 0 percent visibility at a sight line of 0 degrees or below. The screen visibility increases as the sight line angle rises from horizontal, with approximately 40 percent visibility at 45 degrees above horizontal.[2]
