ATLAS Industrial horizontal louvers are unique in providing the industries’ widest louver providing 100% direct visual screening at over 60% openness. Only PalmSHIELD’s ATLAS Industrial horizontal mechanical equipment louvers use a 3” x 3” x ¼” angle structural picture frame design that allows for a considerable weld length to attach each louver.

Only ATLAS Industrial horizontal louvers use a 1” x 1/4” aluminum flat bar not to exceed 24” apart to support the louvers between the framework. This support prevents distortion under high winds and increased security.

Larger than most systems, PalmSHIELD uses a 4” x 4” x ¼” or 3/8” system post. The larger and thicker walled posts is what provides such considerable wind load engineering. What is especially important to us is the finish an aluminum post provides making a clean transition from post to panel. Posts typically do not exceed sixty inches on center. All nuts, bolts and fasteners are stainless steel.

PalmSHIELD is the only standalone louvered system with unlimited gate heights and widths. You want your screen to equal the appeal of your property. ATLAS Industrial complements their screening with professional grade industrial locking systems that will match your building hardware.

PalmSHIELD’s AJAX diagonal louvers provide a real eye-catching and unique appeal for applications such as patios and cafes. AJAX diagonal louvers form a pattern throughout the system that really gets noticed. Panels can be placed parallel to one another or in a mirrored pattern. The infill may be our traditional slanted louvers that don’t allow any light but still maintain that contemporary design. If you are looking to only break things up and allow a little light, you may want to consider our smaller diagonal slates.

All of our AJAX panels use our engineered and proven PalmSHIELD fully framed design. PalmSHIELD uses a proven fully welded frame to support our panel’s infill placed in-between four-inch square posts. All of our PalmSHIELD mechanical equipment screen panels and posts are pre-drilled and shop assembled to assure proper alignment.

PalmSHIELD is the number one choice for architectural screening and louvered screening.

ACHILLES vertical louvers are very popular for architectural screen enclosures and rooftop screening when designers and architects want to match an existing design. PalmSHIELD recognizes roof panels and building eaves have a vertical pattern in panel ribbing or ridges. Where the louvered screening aligns closely to roofing and eaves, designers want to continue this pattern for a consistent look.

The challenge with a vertical louver design is that using traditional single profile louvers will not consistently provide the necessary screening. PalmSHIELD has overcome this challenge by using a double profile vertical louver design. At any angle, you have 100% coverage yet still maintain good air flow. The louvers may be adjusted to increase air flow and establish some visibility or to allow light to pass.

Vertical louver designs often span considerable heights. PalmSHIELD’s ACHILLES overcomes this challenge by incorporating a significant structural louver design thus eliminating the need for a horizontal braces that break-up the appeal of long vertical lines.
