Roof Curbs & Custom Roof Curb Adapters

Durable, Precision-Engineered Roof Curbs for Packaged HVAC Units

Roof curbs serve as the critical foundation for mounting packaged HVAC units on buildings, ensuring structural support, weather resistance, and proper airflow alignment. Precision-engineered roof curbs are custom-built to match the unit’s footprint and roof specifications, whether it's a flat or sloped surface. Made from galvanized steel or aluminum and often pre-insulated, these curbs help maintain energy efficiency and prevent moisture intrusion. With proper design and installation, a high-quality roof curb not only streamlines HVAC unit placement but also enhances the longevity and performance of the entire system.

Custom Curb Adapters and Roof Curbs for Packaged HVAC Units

When replacing or upgrading packaged HVAC units, custom curb adapters and roof curbs are essential components for ensuring proper fit and function. A custom curb adapter allows you to install a new HVAC unit onto an existing roof curb, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming roof modifications. These adapters are designed to match the specifications of both the new and old units, providing a seamless transition while maintaining airflow performance and structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A curb adapter is a specially designed metal structure that allows a new rooftop HVAC unit to fit onto an existing roof curb without requiring costly modifications to the roof. It ensures proper airflow, support, and alignment between the new unit and the existing ductwork.

If you're replacing an older rooftop HVAC unit with a new model that has different dimensions, duct configurations, or connection points, a custom curb adapter is likely needed. An HVAC professional can assess the compatibility and determine if modifications are required.

Key factors include the size and weight of the new unit, the old unit model number (to identify the existing curb), ductwork alignment, airflow requirements, curb height, structural support, and compliance with local building codes. Proper design ensures efficiency and avoids air leakage or performance issues.

The lead time for manufacturing a custom curb adapter varies but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on complexity and material availability. Installation is usually quick, often completed in a few hours, minimizing downtime.

Yes, if not properly designed, a curb adapter can create airflow restrictions, leading to inefficiency, increased energy costs, and system strain. Custom adapters must be precision-engineered to maintain proper airflow and system performance.

A commercial roof curb is a framed structure, typically made of galvanized steel or aluminum, installed on a roof to support packaged rooftop HVAC units. It provides a level mounting surface, allows for smooth airflow into the building, and seals penetrations to prevent leaks.

Sometimes, but not always. Reuse depends on whether the existing curb matches the new equipment’s size and mounting requirements. In many cases, a curb adapter is used to modify an existing curb for compatibility with new units.

Again, sometimes, but not always. Our curbs come knocked down, meaning it is not pre-assembled. This is to save space and allow for easier, cheaper shipping. However, everything needed is provided and is a quick and simple assembly.
