Parking garage screens offer an opportunity to enhance the beauty of a parking structure and the surrounding neighborhood while also maintaining fresh passive airflow into the structure.

Benefits of Using AMICO Materials for Parking Garage Cladding

Aesthetic Appeal:  Create visually striking structures that help keep the surrounding neighborhood cohesive

Control Pedestrian Traffic: At the ground level, AMICO’s architectural metals can control access points to the space

Reduce Light Pollution:  Reduce headlight glare to neighboring buildings

Wind Break: Create a more pleasant experience inside the parking deck by reducing wind access

Parking Garage Screen Project Case Study

Montreal Airport Parking Garage

The parking garage at Montreal Airport was designed with potential commercial use in mind. Instead of angled ramps throughout the design, the concrete slabs are all horizontal, and circular ramps at the front of the space feed the various levels. Expanded mesh cladding becomes an excellent material choice with these unique design criteria because the mesh will serve the parking garage well during its life as a screen. Still, if conversion is needed, the aluminum mesh could easily be removed (because of its mechanical fasteners) and recycled.

San Jose Microsoft Campus Parking Garage Screen:

This corporate campus wanted to provide a well-thought-out and beautiful experience for employees coming in for work. While the main office had already won several awards for its excellent design, the design team carried the visual language of the facade over to the parking garage. The architect used the directional nature of the mesh to create areas of varied opacity, creating rhythm and visual interest.
