Elite Solid

A solid equipment screen is a fully opaque panel with no gaps between its infill. The PalmSHIELD Elite Solid panel uses interlocking tongue-and-groove planks, so equipment behind it is completely hidden from view

Air-cooled HVAC units, condensers, and chillers need airflow, so a louvered screen such as the Elite Aluminum Louvered Blade, with 51% open area and 100% direct visual screening, is usually the better fit. Solid screens suit dumpsters, storage, and equipment that does not rely on air moving through the screen. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's clearance requirements.

Each plank has a tongue on one edge and a groove on the other. The planks lock together edge to edge, which creates a flush, gap-free face and keeps the planks aligned across the panel.

Both give full privacy, so the choice is mainly architectural. Vertical planks add height and a modern rhythm. Horizontal planks echo a building's lines and make a site feel wider and lower.

The planks, frame, and posts are all aluminum, which is non-combustible.

Very little. The composite slats resist rot, warping, moisture, and insects, and they never need staining or sealing.

Yes. It fully hides the dumpster from view, gives the enclosure a finished wood-look appearance, and uses a structural aluminum frame and posts built for commercial use.

Aluminum angle retainers hold the slats at the top and bottom, and 1/4" × 1" aluminum flat bar ribs brace them across the panel, so the slats stay straight and flush.

Very little. The composite slats resist rot, warping, moisture, and insects, and they never need staining or sealing.

Solid vinyl gives full privacy, comes in designer-selected colors, and never needs painting. The structural aluminum frame makes it stronger and more adjustable than a typical vinyl fence.

The vinyl planks are held in a patent-pending aluminum picture frame and mounted on aluminum I-Beam posts. That gives commercial-grade structure, a consistent 3" reveal, and panels that adjust to grade during installation.

It combines full privacy and a modern vertical look with vinyl's low maintenance and designer-selected colors, on a structural aluminum frame that adjusts to grade.

Yes. The vinyl color is selected by the designer, and the aluminum frame and posts are powder coated in a separately selected custom color.
