Our Story

Why we started PalmSHIELD

As building codes and design standards evolved, architects and civil engineers needed screening that complemented a building’s exterior instead of just enclosing it. PalmSHIELD was built to answer that shift with engineered, code-compliant louver systems designed for real project specs.
