C/S Parking Garage Screens provide an
aesthetic architectural solution to
the engineering problem of garage
ventilation and vision control. Capable
of spanning large openings for multiple
parking levels, C/S Parking Screens offer
vision protection to adjacent buildings
and the street below from automobile
headlights. C/S Vision Barriers are offered
in a wide array of patterns, varying in
width depth and free area for adequate
air exchange. From simple vertical lines
to elaborate designs, C/S Parking Screens
can span normal floor levels without
intermediate supports.
All C/S Decorative Grilles are available in a wide selection of frame options or can be installed in a continuous architectural line for a monolithic appearance. All C/S Grille connections are designed to be unobtrusive yet safely meet the building’s wind loading requirements.
Most C/S screening systems can be designed to satisfy parking garage code requirements for free area movement (ie, 50% open, no sprinkler system required). C/S has considerable experience designing connections to parking garages that allow for deck movement from both vehicles and movement associated with seismic activity.

C/S equipment Screens are designed
to conceal any equipment that can
spoil the appearance of a building. our
equipment screens can be used on roof
tops to screen air conditioning, heating
and ventilation systems, or at ground level
to enclose generators, waste bins or other
auxiliary equipment. offered in numerous
vertical or horizontal designs, these
vision barriers integrate beautifully
into the buildings architecture. Height,
width and blade spacing of each pattern
provides the specifier with options for the
amount of sight cut-off and free area that
the screen will provide.
