Retro-Mate Drawing

ThyCurb Retro-Mate® is a custom fabricated roof curb designed to adapt existing curbs to fit new rooftop equipment. Ductwork for an existing unit can be left in place with all of the transition work done within the Retro-Mate® curb. Constructed of heavy gauge galvanized steel and factory insulated, Retro-Mate® maintains roofing integrity and eliminates costly support steel reconstruction.

Labor time required for the replacement is hours instead of days.

ThyCurb maintains an extensive library of new and discontinued rooftop unit literature, allowing accurate matches of the dimensions of the new rooftop unit with the existing curb, without extensive field measurements.

Retro-Mate® curbs can be fabricated for new units that are larger or smaller than existing curbs.
