Architectural Screening Systems

Why Screening Systems Matter

Modern buildings require solutions that balance aesthetics, functionality, and operational needs. Architectural screening systems play an important role in shaping how a property looks and performs. They create privacy in residential and amenity spaces while helping conceal essential mechanical and utility infrastructure that supports building operations. Well-designed screening systems improve the appearance of a development, create more comfortable environments for occupants, protect visual sightlines, and allow necessary equipment to integrate naturally into the overall architectural design.

Screening Systems for Every Application

Macaro provides custom architectural screening solutions for a wide range of commercial environments.

Balcony & Amenity Privacy Screening

Privacy screens help create comfortable, defined outdoor environments within multifamily and mixed-use developments.

Applications include:

Residential balcony dividers
Rooftop amenity decks
Outdoor terraces
Pool areas
Courtyards
Shared gathering spaces

These systems provide privacy between residents and users while adding architectural detail through custom materials, patterns, finishes, and configurations.

Mechanical Equipment Screening

Essential building systems often require visual concealment to maintain the appearance and design integrity of a property.

Macaro fabricates custom screening solutions for:

HVAC equipment
Rooftop mechanical units
Utility equipment
Irrigation systems
Pool mechanical systems
Plumbing infrastructure

Designed around airflow, accessibility, and maintenance requirements, equipment screening systems allow critical infrastructure to perform while minimizing visual impact.

Waste & Service Area Screening

Back-of-house areas are a necessary part of every commercial property — but they do not need to detract from the overall appearance of the development.

Macaro provides screening systems for:

Dumpster enclosures
Trash compactors
Loading dock areas
Service corridors
Maintenance and utility spaces

These solutions help create cleaner, more organized environments while supporting the operational needs of the property.

Commercial & Public Applications

Each system is designed to support the unique requirements of the project, from aesthetics and durability to functionality and maintenance.

Architectural Integration

Screening systems should complement the building design, exterior materials, landscaping, and surrounding environment.

Privacy & Visual Control

The level of screening, openness, and panel configuration should align with the intended use — from resident privacy to complete equipment concealment.

Ventilation & Equipment Performance

Mechanical screening must allow proper airflow while providing effective visual concealment and maintaining equipment performance.

Structural Coordination

Systems are engineered to accommodate attachment requirements, wind conditions, and project-specific structural considerations.

Maintenance & Accessibility

Screening solutions should allow appropriate access for servicing equipment while maintaining a clean architectural appearance.
