How does it work?

Just ask for an installation quote. Based on the parameters of your material proposal and anchoring method, PalmSHIELD will provide you with an installation proposal. There are some things that we will conclude as part of your installation proposal. If you are unable to any of these conditions, please communicate with us in advance so that we may prepare accordingly.

a.	Class 1 Extruded.  Your residential chain link is typically “non-spec class 1 extruded” wire, meaning the vinyl coating is simply pulled over the wire like a sock over your foot.  This wire generally is miss represented because it is thicker than the higher grade materials.  Of course the reason it is thicker is because it is not bonded to the chain link and can easily tear or peal.  
b.	Class 2A Extruded and Bonded. The second grade of wire is the “class 2A extruded and bonded” wire.  This wire may appear in some specifications and is generally used in commercial applications.  The vinyl coating is thinner than the “class 1 extruded” wire.  However, the extruded and bonded wire is bonded to the wire by means of an intense glue, thus less likely to peal or tear from the core wire.
c.	Class 2B Fused and Bonded.  The third grade of wire is “class 2b thermally fused and bonded.  This class of wire is most predominately specified with architects, engineers, city, state and federal.  It has the thinnest coating yet has the greatest strength in resisting cracking, pealing and tearing.  The vinyl coating is literally fused and bonded to the steel like welding two pieces of steel together.  This is the superior product.
