Wall Cladding That Protects Your Building and Keeps it Looking Attractive

Posted on August 13, 2019July 22, 2019 by Danpal

Wall Cladding for Pretty Protection of Your Building Exterior

The human body would be a little unpleasant to look at if our bones, muscles, and tissues lacked skin to cover them. That’s one way of looking at how wall cladding improves the appearance of a building, but wall cladding doesn’t just serve an aesthetic purpose. Wall cladding comes in different forms such as metal, wood, galvanized steel, brick, plastic, and imitation stone.

Danpal’s exclusive double nothing wall cladding system keeps water outside where it belongs and not inside, where it causes leakages. Choosing your wall cladding carefully can save you time, trouble, and money over the long-term life of your building.

How Danpal Wall Cladding is Made

Danpal wall cladding is designed with an air gap that uses natural ventilation to keep the insulation dry for a long time. The wall cladding system is made of connector-bound Microcell polycarbonate panels that are three times lighter than the traditional rainscreen cladding. Watertight thanks to the double notching, the system is light in weight and solid in performance.

Danpal’s ventilated rainscren cladding system relies upon the proven ability of the Danpalon® panel for complete protection of the insulation. Once the wall cladding is in place, it doesn’t need routine maintenance, making it an especially versatile and efficient building material. Just a simple wash can make it look as if it’s brand new.

Easy Installation of Danpal Wall Cladding

Because the connector-bound Microcell polycarbonate panels of Danpals’ ventilated rainscreen cladding are three times lighter than the weight of traditional rainscreen cladding, the wall cladding is much easier and much quicker to install. The pace and ease of installation are also aided by the way that connections are made directly onto the support, without the use of additional supporting framed structures.

Weather Protection from Wall Cladding

As the seasons go by, each one has a different effect upon the exterior of a building. The intense sunlight of summer and the swirling snow of winter are equally damaging to a building; add in the rain, hail, and wind, and you can see why a building needs year-round protection from the elements. Wall cladding, the layering of one material on top of another, defends the building from the snow, rain, hail, wind, and sun. Weather is primarily an external threat, but if you’ve chosen an inferior wall cladding system and it fails to protect the building, rain can leak inside which presents a threat to the safety of the occupants and damage to the building itself. Other threats to building integrity include chemical and air pollution, which inflict an equally harmful deterioration to a building.

Wall Cladding is Available in a Variety of Colors and Designs

You’ll be looking forward to making the choice of color and design for the wall cladding once you’ve reviewed the advantages of Danpal wall cladding. Although the company is dedicated to providing building materials that are solid, strong, and in compliance with regulations and the environment, Danpal also believes that esthetics matter for a building. That’s why Danpal provides so many appealing choices in color, texture, and finishes.

Choose a curtain wall system for your building’s appearance and defense against weather

Posted on July 22, 2019 by Danpal

If you’ve been listening to the weather reports lately, you’ve probably noticed that either Mother Nature is having one major temper tantrum, or the seasons are changing. On all parts of the planet, people are coming to terms with stronger storms, unpredictable variations in patterns, and a growing sense that all of us need to pay attention to the signs coming out of the sky.

Smart consumers are adapting their lifestyles and their routines to accommodate the need to treat the planet the way we would treat a beloved family member who’s going through a rough time: gently, attentively, and unselfishly. The building industry is doing the same thing as everyone else because we know that the structures that architects design need to conform to the ethical and sustainable goals of an environmentally-conscious society while still meeting the needs and preferences of architects and their clients.

At Danpal, we can promise that the products that you buy are designed with quality in mind. Research and development aren’t just words at Danpal; they’re a priority. There are many ways to design a building that provides structural strength and aesthetic appeal and one of those ways is to install a curtain wall system.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS ARE A SHIELD AGAINST WEATHER

Danpal’s microcell technology is key to the strength of a Danpal curtain wall system. The material is incredibly strong and at the same time, it’s light in weight and easy to work with. Rain and snow bring moisture that, once inside, becomes the enemy. The weather that manages to invade a building’s interior can cause a lot of damage over time, so protection from leaks is one of the popular assets of having a curtain wall system.

Another prized feature of our curtain wall systems is the protection they offer from hail, a potentially dangerous weather phenomenon that has the power to inflict considerable damage against an unprotected building. A building doesn’t have to be a fort to be protected from the weather; all it needs is a curtain wall system from Danpal.

BEAUTY IS BUILT INTO THE CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS

Danpal doesn’t want a building to look as if it’s so super-protected that it could double for a military complex. We know that people want to live and work in buildings that have an attractive appearance, where comfort is a priority. Danpal curtain wall systems have the unique ability to take the color palette and turn it into a building’s rainbow runway. We even have a variety of different shades of white that can give your building a lustrous appearance. Customizing the look of a building to the tone and flavor of the neighborhood is something for which curtain wall systems are especially well suited.

THE CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS ARE EASY TO WORK WITH

The construction of a building takes a lot of time. So isn’t it nice that a curtain wall system from Danpal, because it’s made of lightweight materials, is easy to install, taking less time and effort? The concealed joints that keep the exterior wall flush also facilitate the ease of customization, which is another plus for installation, along with the curtain wall system’s double-locking seam.

All of these Danpal features add up to a curtain wall system that gives your building protection against weather, ease of installation, and an enhanced appearance.

Welsh National Sailing Academy. Land, sea and sky.

Posted on February 27, 2019 by Danpal

Situated on an exposed North Wales peninsula between the Irish Sea and the Afon Erch river estuary, the stunning Welsh National Sailing Academy building is both an international centre of excellence for sailing and a multi-purpose event space for the local community.

Working with the Sailing Academy and the Gwynydd County Council, Ellis Williams Architects of Liverpool based the building’s unique design on the classic principle of ‘form following function’.

A unique spiral building design is centered on a large circular main hall, enabling fully rigged boats to be towed in and out with ease while being protected from the location’s strong coastal winds. Curved public terraces overlooking sailing competitions in the bay are situated to the more sheltered north western side, with a glazed café area offering stunning panoramic views of both the bay and the Snowdonia National Park beyond.

On the opposite side, a bar and terrace looks out towards the marina and estuary. A critical design criteria for the project was to maximize the amount of natural daylight entering the circular hall to assist in the preparation of sailing boats and their close scrutinizing by competition judges. To meet this requirement, Ellis Williams specified Danpalon® translucent polycarbonate panel cladding system for both the curved hall façade and the round hall roof.

To harmonize with the project’s extensive use of natural stone gabions, sea grass banking and treated softwood building materials clear (uncoloured) Danpalon® panels were selected and pre-treated with Softlite coating to limit light glare and achieve a subtle matt finish.

The translucent panels also enabled a variety of attractive night time building illumination effects to be achieved using energy-efficient coloured LED lighting, while its excellent thermal properties mean the central hall is able to function as an unheated event space.

With its unique and stunning aesthetic appearance, the Welsh National Sailing Academy has won a series of national architecture prizes including the RIBA Regional, LABC, ICE and CEW awards.

Wall Cladding Keeps Insulation Dry and Free From Moisture

Posted on July 25, 2018 by Danpal

If you or someone in your home suffers from any kind of respiratory condition such as asthma, you’re already aware that mold is a health threat. But not everyone realizes that mold results when moisture, instead of being prevented from penetrating the exterior of a building, manages to make its way inside. Moisture is a threat to a building because it causes leaks, structural stress and even building collapse if the moisture advances to that point. Its danger as a health threat can be a silent, invisible menace because the building occupants may not realize immediately that their breathing problems or their allergies are the result of the mold that thrives in a moist environment. How can you protect the people who live or work in your building from the dangers of mold? Danpal wall cladding is a solution to the problem of moisture.

Keeping The Insulation Healthy Keeps You Healthy

The simple formula for a healthy building is to keep the insulation dry. As long as the insulation is free from moisture, the building isn’t at risk for the development of mold and the building itself remains in good condition. But insulation, if it’s not protected, is vulnerable. Wall cladding is like a protective sheath that keeps the internal building dry because it protects the insulation.

We all know that weather is a potent force in the world of nature. Buildings, in order to withstand the forces of nature, must be equipped with a defense system that can handle pouring rain, wind gusts, heavy snowfall, pounding hail, and intense sunlight. When you give your building the protection of Danpal wall cladding, you’re giving the insulation the defense that it needs in order to remain free of moisture caused by leaks.

The Mechanics of Wall Cladding

You’ve heard a lot about Danpal’s microcell technology and you already know that it’s a strong, durable product capable of protecting insulation from moisture. The strength of the wall cladding’s connector-bound polycarbonate sheets creates a strong barrier to penetration by snow and rain. We use double notching so that the wall cladding is watertight and airtight. Our wall cladding is designed with an air gap; the cladding’s convective motion delivers natural ventilation. The end result of this air flow is dry insulation. Our Ventilated Rainscreen System (VRS) is the top-of-the-line wall cladding for the ultimate in insulation protection. No matter how wet, windy and cold it might be outside, you’ll stay dry and warm inside.

Easy Installation and Customization for Danpal Wall Cladding

Danpal’s goal is to develop products that deliver a superior performance, support the environment, and are easy to work with. Our wall cladding meets all these standards. We offer panels that can be customized up to the 12.0m standard length. Architects appreciate the creativity that customization offers; clients welcome the savings that come with our easy-to-install systems that don’t take a lot of time to put into place.
Give your building the protection it needs in order to last by installing wall cladding from Danpal.

Worry-Free Wall Cladding Keeps The Moisture Out

Posted on May 29, 2018 by Danpal

The next time you’re listening to the weather forecast, you might want to consider the state of your wall cladding. What, you wonder, does the daily weather have to do with wall cladding? Actually, a lot, especially if you don’t have wall cladding by Danpal. That’s because inferior cladding may not be able to provide the level of protection that a building’s insulation must have if it’s going to be able to perform at a satisfactory level. Insulation that’s been compromised is going to cost money over time because energy is escaping, forcing heating and cooling systems to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature. Lost energy is a major factor for environmental concerns. In most of the world’s IEA countries, buildings are blamed for the use of 40{5b578bc8adcb4430178b10faf0e9aa5adf0d58c8ca73fed93934f78c0e900111} of primary energy consumption. You can imagine what happens to that number if energy is being wasted.

But if you have Danpal wall cladding, you’re not worrying about the weather forecast because you know that, if it rains or snows, your insulation is safe and dry. Danpal wall cladding doesn’t let moisture penetrate. Danpal manufactures products that conform to high environmental standards in order to assist energy efficiency. If you have Danpal cladding, you don’t have to worry when you listen to the weather forecast. If it’s going to rain, take an umbrella. If snow is predicted, wear a warm coat. You don’t have to worry because Danpal has already taken care of it.

An air gap in Danpal wall cladding makes use of natural ventilation to keep the insulation dry. The convective motion behind the wall also keeps the insulation free from moisture and working efficiently so that moisture doesn’t develop. Water penetrates because of our exclusive double nothing. Connector-bound microcell polycarbonate panels keep your building leak-free and moisture-free. For full insulation protection, consider the merits of the Danpal Ventilated Rainscreen System. Keeping moisture out is so important for the long life of your building because once snow and rain are able to penetrate a building’s defenses and leave moisture behind, leaks will soon follow. Wall cladding is designed to keep out the leaks and the moisture so that problems don’t develop.

Danpal Wall Cladding Offers Esthetic Options

Danpal wall cladding is so easy to work with that it makes the installation process vastly simpler than it is for other wall cladding of traditional weight. Our panel is lightweight; it’s also customizable, up to 12.0m standard lengths. This feature, along with our great range of designs and colors to choose from, lets customers enjoy a level of personal choice that isn’t often found in the building industry.

Proof That Danpal Wall Cladding Is Superior

Danpal wall cladding is designed to do a better job of protecting insulation from weather. It’s energy efficient, saving you money and supporting the health of the planet. It’s customizable so that an architect can be satisfied in knowing that his design reflects his originality and creativity. It’s lightweight, easy to work with, and easy to install.

And when you have Danpal wall cladding, you aren’t alarmed by the weather forecast, because you already have all the protection you need for your building’s insulation.

Wall Cladding Protects Insulation From Moisture

Posted on April 17, 2018 by Danpal

Most people would agree that their household budgets have enough to cover and don’t need any extra expenses added to it. But if your insulation isn’t intact, if moisture has penetrated to the interior of your home or business, then you’ve already added a new item to your budget without even realizing it. That’s because the energy that you use to heat and cool the inside of your structure is escaping outside, increasing your energy bills, and you might not have figured out the reason why. Compromised insulation is one of the main reasons why energy consumption increases; it’s also one of the reasons why buildings experience issues that can, if not attended to promptly, lead to real problems later on. The right wall cladding can help provide the protection that your building must have if it’s going to be able to prevent moisture from invading your home or business.

How Wall Cladding Protects Insulation From Moisture

Weather has a lot of weapons at hand to defeat a building. Year after year, there are snowfalls, rainstorms, winds and hail; and don’t forget about the hot sun which beats down upon a building during the warmer months. Danpal wall cladding has a convective motion, with an air gap to provide natural ventilation, that keeps the insulation dry. Rain and snow are prevented from getting inside because of our connector-bound microcell polycarbonate sheets and our double-notching. How can a building hope to withstand such an onslaught from nature? Danpal has put a lot of research into its products and our wall cladding reflects the innovative spirit that marks all of our materials.

Energy Efficiency and Insulation

Buildings have a vital role to play in the goal to maintain a sustainable lifestyle. In most IEA countries, it’s the buildings that consume 40{5b578bc8adcb4430178b10faf0e9aa5adf0d58c8ca73fed93934f78c0e900111} of primary energy. If your building’s insulation is allowing energy to escape, you’re the one paying the bill but the planet is paying the price for wasted energy. The purpose of insulation is to keep your energy within the structure so that you can maintain a consistent indoor temperature. But once insulation has been damaged by moisture, your heating and cooling systems have to work harder to maintain that consistent temperature. By protecting the insulation of a building, wall cladding is doing its part to help the building occupants support a sustainable lifestyle.

The Benefits Of Working With Danpal Wall Cladding

The main purpose of wall cladding is, as we’ve noted, to protect the insulation of a building. But Danpal wall cladding, because our panels are customizable up to 12.0m standard length, offers a level of creativity and originality in architectural design that you can’t expect to find in other products. Customization is a fantastic benefit for architects because it allows them to indulge in more creativity with their designs. Add in the fact that Danpal wall cladding is available in so many colors and designs and it’s easy to understand how a building’s appearance is enhanced.

You Can Have Confidence in Danpal Wall Cladding

Posted on February 12, 2018 by Danpal

Whether you’re building a simple cottage or an architectural masterpiece, the lifespan of your structure is going to depend on how effective it is in preventing weather from invading the interior space. That means that a building’s exterior has to be ready to engage in battle so that it can prevent the harmful effects of snow, rain, wind, hail, and sunlight from penetrating the interior. Wall cladding, which helps to protect your building’s insulation in order to keep moisture from causing damage, is a primary means of preventing insulation from being compromised.

That building that, right now, might be just in the design stage, is going to take its place in a physical location. You want that structure to last. So does Danpal, and that’s why we recommend that that you consider our wall cladding for your building. We’ve been leaders in the building industry for 50 years. We operate on five continents and have developed an international reputation that reflects our motto, Global Vision, Local Focus. Your satisfaction and the long life of your building, are our priorities.

Wall Cladding Protects Insulation

Human beings need shelter and so buildings are necessary. We work in them, we live in them, we are entertained in them. But buildings, if not properly constructed and maintained, can threaten the wellbeing of the planet. That’s because, in most IEA countries, buildings are responsible for the consumption of 40{5b578bc8adcb4430178b10faf0e9aa5adf0d58c8ca73fed93934f78c0e900111} of primary energy. How does that work with today’s standards for sustainability? That depends on whether your building is energy efficient.

If energy is escaping from the inside of a structure, it’s costing you money. Your insulation is designed to keep your energy inside so that the temperatures that you set for heating and cooling are consistent. But if moisture has reached your insulation, energy efficiency cannot be maintained because your insulation can’t do its job properly. In other words, if you want to make sure that your building remains healthy for a long time, take the steps that are needed to provide your insulation with complete protection.

Danpal wall cladding uses a convective motion to keep insulation dry because of the natural ventilation that comes through an air gap. Connector-bound microcell polycarbonate sheets and double-notching are a line of defense to keep out the rain and snow that could allow moisture to seep into your building. If you can keep moisture out—and Danpal wall cladding can—you’re giving your insulation the protection that it needs to maintain your building’s health.

Customizable Wall Cladding

Instead of seeing a building design as something that has to follow a rigid pattern, Danpal likes to see originality. Our wall cladding enhances the appearance of a building because we offer such a variety of colors and designs to enable our clients to create a building, not just build it. Once the interior of your building has been designed so that the insulation is protected from harm, feel free to let loose with your creativity. Our panels are customizable up to 12.0m standard length to offer you plenty of personal choice.

Buildings Are Better with Insulation Protection from Wall Cladding

Posted on January 30, 2018 by Danpal

A building should be able to last. When the architects draw up the plans for the building, it’s their intent for the structure to endure. One of the most important ways to maintain the structural integrity of a building is also one of the simplest: keep the insulation dry. If insulation is protected from leakages, moisture won’t be able to penetrate the interior of a building. Wall cladding’s mission is to do just that—by preventing the external weather from penetrating the interior of a building, wall cladding keeps the insulation dry.

If your building had ears, it would listen to the weather forecast each day and shudder in fear. That’s because buildings and weather are natural enemies. You might not have realized how much harm weather can cause. Just think about it. Winter brings with it the fury of a snowstorm, with howling winds and hail. Rain is a year-round threat. Even summer, with its bright warmth, presents a threat because of the powerful rays of the sun that beat down on a building.

As you listen to the forecast each day, aren’t you glad that Danpal has created products that help to weather-proof your building’s interior?

The Importance of Dry Insulation

Wet insulation can’t insulate. That’s the reason why your building’s insulation must be kept free from damaging leaks that permit moisture to invade the interior of the structure. Compromised insulation undermines the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling systems, which in turn cost you money because you’re using more energy than you really need. When that happens, the environment ultimately pays the long-term price as your building begins to take on a monster-sized carbon footprint.

How to keep your insulation dry? That’s an easy question to answer. Install Danpal wall cladding, which has an air gap that provides natural ventilation with a convective motion that keeps insulation dry. With its double-notching and connector-bound microcell polycarbonate sheets, our wall cladding keeps the moisture out. Insulation remains dry and that reinforces the weather-resistance capabilities of your building.

Easy to Install, Nice to Look at

Danpal wall cladding is completely reliable in performing its designated function. But it’s also attractive so that, just as it shields the inside of a building from moisture, it’s enhancing the external view of a building’s appearance. Options are varied; because our wall cladding is customizable up to 12.0m, Danpal can offer many options. Color is one of the most popular options for those who are looking for ways to make their building get noticed. We’re the go-to company when you’re looking for ways to add daylighting to your building’s attributes. Our panels are light in weight, making installation very easy.

Wall cladding is one of those wonderful building features that multitasks to keep your structure safe and attractive. It lets daylight in, and keeps weather out. When you think about it, wall cladding is the best of both worlds for your building.

Wall Cladding Secures Insulation from Moisture

Posted on December 26, 2017 by Danpal

The construction of a building is founded upon a simple goal: people inside the building should be comfortable and protected from the elements. Those elements need to be kept outside the building. The building itself must be able to withstand the punishment that nature dishes out but it must be able to do so without fanfare. The occupants within don’t want to worry about whether the rain is causing leakages, or the moisture has penetrated the insulation, or the hail has caused damaged. Danpal understands this philosophy and we support it. That’s why we develop building materials that do their job and do it right. That’s true with Danpal wall cladding, which is designed to make sure that insulation stays dry.

Wall Cladding Makes the Difference

Danpal wall cladding is designed with an air gap which provides natural ventilation that uses a convective motion to keep the insulation dry. Because of our double-notching and connector-bound Microcell polycarbonate sheets, which are lighter in weight that traditional rainscreen cladding, create a shield against the external rain so that moisture cannot penetrate. Protecting your insulation is the first step in taking the precautions that are vital for the long life of your building.

Why Insulation Needs to Stay Dry

Today’s concern with energy efficiency reflects a greater awareness of how much the planet depends upon all of us to monitor our energy usage. Because buildings account for 40{5b578bc8adcb4430178b10faf0e9aa5adf0d58c8ca73fed93934f78c0e900111} of energy consumption, it’s especially important to ensure that the energy is being used as we intend. That means that we need to know that compromised insulation isn’t the culprit in allowing energy to escape from within. If it is, your energy bills are going to reflect that wasted energy. An attractive option for your wall cladding is Danpal’s Ventilated Rainscreen System, which has the Danpalon panel for complete insulation protection.

Wall Cladding Improves Your Building’s Appearance

What’s especially unique about wall cladding isn’t just its superior performance in protecting insulation from moisture, although that’s certainly a major consideration. Wall cladding also enhances a building’s appearance. Danpal offers a great variety of colors and designs so that you can choose exactly the look that’s right for your building. Our wall cladding is customizable up to 12.0m, the standard length, to provide you with even more options when making your selection. We also make use of light to provide even more options when defining the look of your building. Because it’s our goal to become the leading manufacturer and distributor of complete light architecture systems, we can show you how to make your building stand out in both performance and appearance.

Our daylighting techniques give buildings a touch of nature, thanks to the natural light that we employ. Beauty and performance are an unbeatable combination. like what you get when you use Danpal wall cladding.

Main benefits of Danpal’s Rainscreen Cladding – VRS System

Posted on June 22, 2017June 22, 2017 by Danpal

Cladding is the skin of a building, designed to prevent outside weather from coming inside. Human skin conceals the arteries, blood vessels, bone and tissue that do the work of the physical body, and likewise, cladding presents a building’s attractive exterior rather than exposing the construction materials and spaces that are the inner workings of the structure. But there’s a difference: a little bit of rain or wind is okay for the body. That’s not the case for a building, which has to be constructed so that water and air remain outside where they belong. The DANPAL® VRS Ventilated Rainscreen System is our company’s weather protection for your building.

What is the DANPAL® Ventilated Rainscreen System?

DANPAL® VRS provides a full system to incorporate our Danpalon® panels so that you can be confident that your insulation is fully protected from the outside elements.

Posted on April 19, 2017 by Danpal

When you are looking for external wall cladding systems, it is important that your choice complies with all of the relevant building regulations and that it ensures the maintenance of an efficient level of insulation in a building.

In the past, wall cladding often did not really have to consider the insulation effects that were seen due to loose regulations, but in recent times this has become a massive issue as people are conferenced about having structures that are energy efficient. If a building is energy efficient, heat can be maximised while energy costs minimised. It’s a win-win situation.

You may want to simply refurbish an existing structure or starting from scratch with the external wall cladding. Whatever the case may be, our ventilated rainscreen system of wall cladding at Danpal can help you achieve all of these goals and then more.

This highlights the large scope for savings when it come sot energy costs. Our ventilated rainscreen system at Danpal has been designed specifically with this statistic key in the front of the minds of our designers and engineers.

Our system involves the well-respected Danpalon panel that helps to insure that the insulation is protected at all times no matter the weather or extent of impact.

One of the keys to having effective external wall cladding is having an optimal level of natural ventilation. Thanks to the convective motion seen behind our panels, the insulation will be kept dry and will not lose any of its performance benefits over time. This replaces the costs of having to replace damaged or suboptimal panels in the long run.

The system is light and solid at the same time. It is made up of connector bound microcell polycarbonate panels which are 3 times more lightweight than the usual rain screen cladding that is found on the market.

As it is so easy to install, you will be able to meet your project deadlines and even come in before deadlines as a result than if you were using more traditional options.

If you are building in an environment that receives a lot of rainfall and strong winds during the year, water tightness going to be something you are very concerned with when making your selection. Our system has perfect water tightness so this is not an issue you will have to worry about again.
