PalmSHIELD Louvered Screen, Fence & Gate Systems

Louvered screens have been used for years to conceal mechanical equipment, generators, compressors, etc.  American Fence Company has been installing these screens and fences for decades.  Over time, we have come to appreciate the shortcomings and strengths of some of the more popular louvered systems.  Hence, we strongly promote PalmSHIELD louvered screen system.

PalmSHIELD louvered system is all aluminum.  Much of the equipment that is enclosed with these systems generates some form of condensation, exhaust, steam, etc.  Steel screen systems do not perform well under constant humidity. PalmSHIELD uses a much thicker aluminum louver than traditional steel louvers.  Steel louvers are typically sixteen gauge pregalvanized steel sheet that that has been sheared and pressed, leaving uncoated ends that are exposed for corrosion.  PalmSHIELD louvers are fully powder coated on all sides.

PalmSHIELD is the only fully framed louvered system.  Each panel is framed with a large angle framework. Slight shifts in footings or falling tree limbs will twist or damage traditional louvered systems.  Each PalmSHIELD panel is structurally sturdy in and of itself, not relying on the post mount to prevent twisting or warping.

PalmSHIELD louvered system uses a plated post mounting system.  Posts are set on top of existing concrete surface or peers.  Installation is easy as each post is anchored to the concrete, panel screwed to post with stainless steel fasteners in predrilled holes to sure proper alignment.  Then, slide in your next post and begin the process over again.

PalmSHIELD louvered system gates utilize a standard PalmSHIELD panel that is also fully framed with a rectangular tube to provide even greater rigidity.  Gates are custom built to fit openings.

PalmSHIELD is particle blasted to remove the annealed surface of extruded aluminum.  It is then powder coated to a standard manufacturer color or colors can be matched by request.
