Wood Screens

Wood screens add comfort and separation to rooftop decks with a soft, residential look that pairs naturally with wood decking and traditional Chicago architecture.

A wood screen feels like part of the architecture: quieter than a solid wall, warmer than aluminum, and easy to detail so it ties into the rest of the deck. We size and space slats around your sightlines so the screen does its job without closing in the space.

Why wood

A natural, traditional look

Wood brings grain, warmth, and a softer profile that reads as residential rather than industrial. It's a great fit for rooftops where you want the screen to feel like a design element, not a barrier.

  • Natural grain and tone for a softer look
  • Customizable heights, profiles, and slat spacing
  • Pairs beautifully with wood decks and railings
  • Easy to detail around pergolas, planters, and seating

What to expect

Custom-built for your rooftop

Every wood screen is sized to the layout and sightlines that matter on your roof, not pulled off a shelf in a fixed size.

  • Heights and spacing chosen for your specific sightlines
  • Trim and cap details that match the deck and railing
  • Periodic maintenance: cleaning, sealing, or staining over time
  • Ability to refinish or refresh the screen years down the road

Wood or composite, we'll help you decide

If you love the look of wood but the maintenance gives you pause, composite screens deliver a similar layered profile with almost no upkeep. We'll walk through both during the site visit.
