Modern Cable Railing Now from PalmSHIELD

PalmSHIELD is proud to announce its brand new exclusive architectural cable design. This design is a real architectural marvel for cable railing. PalmSHIELD utilizes a single cable design where the cable is attached at the top of the panel and then strung back and forth over a series of spools to a single tensioner at the bottom. Compared to the traditional style, this is a cleaner and much more interesting design. It has a real contemporary look for those installations that require more than just a simple cable railing.

Simpler, more efficient cable railing

For almost 20 years, PalmSHIELD has been fabricating industrial fencing, so they know a couple of things about cable railing. They know that over time many cable rail installations fail due to the incredible amount of strain placed on the cable because of the attachment of the termination posts. Now, imagine 11 cables, each tensioned to several hundreds of pounds of pull, pulling on one 2” square post screwed down to the top of a soft cedar deck board. If you are a cable rail installer, you are cringing a little bit right now because you know what is going to happen next. System failure! At PalmSHIELD, they use their traditional fully-framed panels. Each panel has its own independent cable infill not dependent on site post installations.

Each panel comes complete with fully installed cables and predrilled posts and panels, making installation a breeze. A traditional deck railing has at least four to five independent field-installed cable runs. Traditional installations would take several days between anchoring posts and implementing almost a hundred tensioners. With the PalmSHIELD system, a deck railing would take less than a day and without any worries about failed posts.

PalmSHIELD cable panels are designed to go with code-compliant handicap ramp run rails or stair grab rails. Stair sections are also custom fabricated to account for landings. PalmSHIELD uses a cable stabilizer bar in the panels to support the cables along long sections. At changes in slope, a stabilizer bar will support the cables without the use of additional posts.
