Perforated Metal: PalmSHIELD is much more than just great louvers

A perforated metal fence surrounding heating and cooling equipment outside of a schoolWith a wide variety of hole sizes, percentage of open area, aesthetic appeal and high strength-to-weight ratio, perforated metal sheets have endless applications such as sign panels, guards, partitions, screens, enclosures and more. PalmSHIELD has been using perforated metal in their sturdy exclusive PalmSHIELD column systems and frames as an alternative to louvers. Perforated infill is perfect if you want to hide what is behind the screen but you still want to see others moving about. Divided walkways and playgrounds are perfect applications for this material. It allows you to show silhouettes of what lays beyond it, but nothing more. Perforated sheets also provide exceptional wind flow as on-centers and hole sizes can vary.
