Railings
PalmSHIELD’s Railings
Cable railing is growing in popularity due to its slim and discreet appearance that leaves the eye to look beyond the railing. The challenge is cable railing must meet standard IBC / UBC codes, requiring practically no deflection. To meet this requirement the cables must be tensioned to some incredible levels, creating a considerable amount of pull on both ends of termination.
PalmSHIELD has been fabricating cable railing for almost twenty years. We know a thing or two about cable railing. Specifically, many installations fail over time to maintain proper tension. Imagine eleven cables, each tensioned to several hundreds of pounds of pull, pulling on one two inch square post screwed down to the top of a soft cedar deck board or stair plank. System failure! To prevent this mishap, PalmSHIELD uses their unique and proven fully framed panel design. With fully framed panels, the tension is transferred to the frame and not to your deck or stairs.
PalmSHIELD cable systems are designed to be accompanied with code compliant stair grab rails. All of our sections are custom fabricated. PalmSHIELD uses a rigid, thin cable stabilizer bar in the panels to support the long cable runs. At changes in slope, a stabilizer bar will support the cables without the use of additional posts. Fewer posts leaves more to be desired as you look beyond the cable rail system.
