Elite Alternating

An alternating semi-private screen uses two plank widths in a repeating pattern instead of one. On the PalmSHIELD Elite panel, 1" × 5" and 1" × 3" aluminum planks alternate with 1" air gaps between them, which gives partial visibility, high airflow, and a more distinctive look than a standard slat panel.

Both use flat planks with open air gaps. The standard Semi-Private panel repeats a single 1" × 5" plank. The Alternating panel mixes 5" and 3" planks for a more varied, architectural pattern.

It is designed to screen HVAC units and other mechanical equipment from public view while allowing airflow. Local code requirements for opacity vary, so confirm the required screening level with your jurisdiction. For 100% direct visual screening, choose the Elite Aluminum Louvered Blade.

Both give partial privacy and high airflow with the same 5" and 3" plank pattern, so the choice is mainly architectural. Vertical planks add a sense of height and a modern rhythm. Horizontal planks echo a building's lines and make a site feel wider and lower.

The 3" × 4" aluminum mid-rail braces the vertical planks at mid-height. It adds rigidity and keeps the plank spacing consistent across taller panels.

It pairs the distinctive look of mixed plank widths with vinyl's low maintenance and designer-selected colors, on a structural aluminum frame that adjusts to grade.

No. The 1" gaps between planks give partial visibility and high airflow. For full direct visual screening, choose a louvered Elite panel.
