Architectural Louvers
PalmSHIELD louvered mechanical equipment screening is the industry leader in providing maximum air flow while still providing 100% direct visual screening. PalmSHIELD is the only louvered architectural screening manufacturer providing a structural picture frame design to fully enclose each panel for your rooftop screen or mechanical equipment screen. This allows our louvered panels great flexibility in spanning considerable widths and heights. PalmSHIELD louver’s aesthetic appeal is its contemporary and modern finish. Our panel and column combination is sleek and robust.
SEMI PRIVATE SCREENING
PalmSHIELD‘s architectural semi-private screening is a great mechanical equipment screening option that offers both privacy and ventilation for ground screens, enclosures & gates for HVAC systems, dumpsters, mechanical equipment & more. The aluminum frame and aluminum, vinyl or composite horizontal planks offer a contemporary and industrial finish matching today’s contemporary styles.
SOLID SCREENING
PalmSHIELD architectural solid screening is fully fabricated. It consists of full fabricated structural framed panels and individual columns. Incorporating our popular picture frame design, our panels are fabricated using proven structural aluminum profiles for the picture frame that supports the tongue and groove planks on all four sides. Everything is extruded to fit together using only on-site mechanical means to assemble. All aluminum components are media blasted and powdered coated. All gates are fully assembled.
Staggered screening
Looking for something with ventilation and light, but still need 100% visual blockage, staggered screening is your best choice. Each blank is offset from one another in a stitching type pattern. Our Mercury Staggered architectural screening series combines alternating aluminum, vinyl and composite planks placed horizontally between aluminum and vinyl posts. This shadow box architectural screening design is field installed and provides for flexibility.
The Brick & Stone Collection
PalmSHIELD and TexturePlus faux brick, stone and plank panels can complement and enhance the outward appearance of your building, mechanical equipment screening, rooftop screening, or other application. PalmSHIELD recognizes that many of our customers choose our product as it endures extreme heat and moisture caused by the equipment it is protecting. For this reason, we selected Texture Plus polymer panels as these unique panels have been tested and proven to withstand extreme heat and constant moisture without evidence of mold or mildew.
Architectural Artistic Laser Cut
PalmSHIELD’s Architectural Open Screening is a work of artistry, design and engineering to provide a unique decorative architectural screening system for applications that require a more upscale design and a level of openness. Whether you select our decorative laser cut metal panels, decorative perforated or wire mesh system, we can complement and enhance the outward appearance of your building, mechanical equipment screening, rooftop screening, or other application.
PlaySAFE Playground Screening
PalmSHIELD’s PlaySAFE playground screening solution is exactly what our playgrounds need to assure our children are kept safe and secure while providing an attractive complimentary screening solution that compliments our playground equipment and adjoining building finishes. Playgrounds are creative environments for children to have fun, play, grow, learn, and socialize. These wonderful spaces should never pose a threat to our children.
Architectural Open
PalmSHIELD’s Architectural Open Screening is a work of artistry, design and engineering to provide a unique decorative architectural screening system for applications that require a more upscale design and a level of openness. Whether you select our decorative laser cut metal panels, decorative perforated or wire mesh system, we can complement and enhance the outward appearance of your building, mechanical equipment screening, rooftop screening, or other application.
Trellis
PalmSHIELD offers innovative solutions for architectural and commercial screening. Our green trellis system creates a stunning living wall of plants, visible from both sides, with an open space for plants to thrive and create a natural green barrier. Additionally, our ATHENA Interlaced Screening combines the elegance of traditional basketweave with the strength and reliability of PalmSHIELD’s engineered column and fully framed panel design, providing a beautiful and durable screening option for commercial spaces.
architectural Gates
PalmSHIELD MAXIMUS gate collection is the ultimate solution for highly visible industrial screening applications when appearance matters. The MAXIMUS industrial swing gate collection is the extreme industrial gate solution incorporating our double gate framework design. Our MAXIMUS industrial swing gates resemble bank vault doors with our 4” x 2” tubular outer framework encapsulating our 3” x 3” interior angle framework. This is an industrial gate design when aesthetics are critical.
pedestrian gates & surrounds
PalmSHIELD VULCAN full-height pre-hung pedestrian swing gate is a proven solution for security applications involving high traffic. Our Vulcan pedestrian swing gate is the perfect solution for K-12, high education, stadiums, apartments, assisted living, manufacturing, food related industries and arenas. Vulcan swing gates are fully customizable with options for panic bars, automatic closures, keyless entry, position switch and other automated access control devices.
industrial Gates
PalmSHIELD builds thousands of industrial slide gates and swing gates each year. Each and every gate is fabricated to our customers’ unique requests. From a single 150’ long slide gate at one of our nation’s largest airports to a four thousand pound ornamental decorative slide gate protecting one of our nation’s largest data centers to any swing gate in your backyard, we have you covered.
dumpster enclosures
PalmSHIELD’s architectural solid screens and louvered enclosures are designed to contribute to your overall property’s appearance. Keep up property aesthetic by covering dumpsters and making them inaccessible to the public. Retail, commercial, or multi-family residential, your facility will require trash disposal. That means one or several on-site dumpsters. Typical fencing will not do. Your dumpster enclosure should be constructed of screens that complement your facilities envelope. PalmSHIELD’s dumpster enclosures are pre-engineered to meet waste management standards and to complement your building’s finishes.
railings
PalmSHIELD cable systems are designed to be accompanied with code compliant stair grab rails. All of our sections are custom fabricated. PalmSHIELD uses a rigid, thin cable stabilizer bar in the panels to support the long cable runs. At changes in slope, a stabilizer bar will support the cables without the use of additional posts. Fewer posts leaves more to be desired as you look beyond the cable rail system.
rooftop
PalmSHIELD’s line of fully framed products are a popular choice for rooftop screening. Because PalmSHIELD is the only architectural screening manufacturer providing a structural picture frame design to fully enclose each panel; we are the number one choice for rooftop mechanical equipment screening. Many buildings feature RTUs (Rooftop Units) essential to keeping buildings in order. These items, however, tend to diminish curb appeal, so many property managers obscure them with our mechanical RTU screen solution!
