Roofing System Archives

Posted on September 23, 2019September 2, 2019 by Danpal

When you’re choosing building materials, strength and durability are key traits needed in those products. But sometimes the strongest material may not be the one that first comes to mind. For instance, what do you know about plastic roofing?

You might initially think that it can’t measure up to other materials, but plastic roofing is actually one of the most durable and attractive choices that you can make when selecting a roofing system. At Danpal, innovation and technology go hand-in-hand and that’s why our plastic roofing, which reflects the expertise of our research and development experts, is such a good choice when deciding the kind of roofing that will work best for your building’s needs.

PLASTIC ROOFING IS AN EXCELLENT WEATHER DEFENSE

What’s your main concern about the roofing that you choose? Most of us would answer that we want it to be sturdy enough to handle whatever the weather will be for the life span of the roof. We know that a roof is the first target for weather: snow and rainfall, heat beats down, winds blow, and hail hammers the roof.

Withstanding that kind of punishment can’t be easy! But a plastic roof isn’t weak: it’s up to the challenge posed by winter, summer, spring, and fall. It also supports the efficient use of energy. That’s because plastic roofing is made with microcell technology, a strong and durable product that also provides a protective layer to reduce the transfer of heat, allowing for the reflection of thermal radiation.

TAKE IT TO THE MAX: MAXIMUM COMFORT AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH PLASTIC ROOFING

We want our homes to be comfortable and that means choosing the roofing systems that will let us live in a dry, warm-in-the-winter, cool-in-the-summer environment. But we’re also very much aware that our choices aren’t just about what we want. We also need to choose based on the needs of the planet. In the past, the environment’s needs were ignored.

We’ve now realized that those unwise decisions were harmful to the air, water, and soil of Planet Earth. Today’s consumer chooses to live in an environment that maintains harmony with our wants and our planet’s needs.

Your indoor temperature should be consistent year-round. If you need to change the temperature in the winter because the living or working space is too cold, you may be losing energy. If you’re changing the temperature in the summer because it’s too hot inside, your insulation may be compromised, allowing energy to escape.

Plastic roofing is designed to support energy efficiency so that insulation stays dry. Dry insulation and energy efficiency are quite a pair and they work together to create indoor spaces that are comfortable and environmentally stable.

THE FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY OF PLASTIC ROOFING

Plastic roofing not only supports energy efficiency; it also benefits our financial efficiency. Losing energy because of wet insulations ends up costing more money in our heating and cooling bills.

When we choose plastic roofing, we’re also choosing economical utility bills, because we aren’t wasting energy. Saving money by making smart building choices is just one of the ways that plastic roofing is the right decision.

Know What to Look for When Choosing a Roofing System

Posted on July 30, 2019July 22, 2019 by Danpal

What to Look for in a Roofing System

A building has a vision that arises from the creativity of the architect and the quality and innovation of the materials that will be used to take that building from a design to a completed structure. Even though a building is a very practical, utilitarian reality, the planning that gets the process started involves both research and inspiration. Where is the building located? The answer will determine the materials that are chosen. What is your budget? You’re going to want to purchase the highest quality of materials while adhering to the financial boundaries of your client’s directions.

What kind of impression should the building create in the neighborhood? The esthetics of a building can turn an ordinary structure into a landmark. But if you choose the wrong roofing system, all of the work that you’ve put into the building is wasted. With so many things to decide and so many options on the market, you should check in with the experts at Danpal to find out what they have to offer.

The Weather and Your Roofing System

The map is going to have a great deal of influence upon your final decision for a roofing system. The roof is the main barrier separating the building’s interior and exterior. A roof can’t fail the building beneath it; it must be able to withstand whatever conditions are common in the area, whether that means the powerful rains of one geographical area, the fierce snows of another location, the scorching heat from one place, or the overwhelming winds from somewhere else.

An architect needs to have a thorough understanding of the regional climate when choosing a roofing system because particular roofs work better in specific climate zones.

Matching Budget and Quality for Your Roofing System

A building is a significant investment of money, time, and labor. You’re going to want to choose a roofing system that’s built to last. If you decide to cut corners and buy the cheapest materials you can find, you’re ultimately going to spend a lot more in repairs than you would have if you’d opted for quality in the first place. Technology has greatly broadened the quality of building materials for roofing systems, and architects and designers have seen the industry evolve dramatically thanks to these advancements.

Danpal has built its reputation on developing and manufacturing cutting-edge, state-of-the-art materials to construct buildings that last. If you want your roofing system to benefit from the research and testing that has already been done, Danpal has the products you’re looking for.

How Does the Roofing System Look from Down Below?

Don’t be fooled into thinking that, because the roof is all the way up there on top of the building, no one will notice it. The roof’s appearance is actually one of the most important components of the overall building image. The texture, type, and color of the roof need to blend with the exterior style and finish of the building. The architectural styles need to complement one another or the final effect will look unprofessional and unattractive.

Plastic Roofing Performs Better And Lasts Longer

Posted on May 28, 2019May 28, 2019 by Danpal

Danpal has been in the building business for over half a century. Plastic has been around a lot longer than that, but our research and development experts have found new ways to put this remarkable material to use. Plastic roofing combines the lightweight strength of plastic with Danpal building expertise to create a system that gives roofing an entirely new and dynamic functionality.

Creating a roofing system that employs the utmost in strength and flexibility while supporting the most up-to-date building regulations and codes are the Danpal way of putting our slogan, Global Vision, Local Focus, into practice. We have found that it’s possible to improve building quality, environmental overfinance, and quality of living by maintaining the highest possible standards. We build for the client, and we build for the planet. Our plastic roofing systems demonstrate our dedication to our creed.

Plastic Roofing For An Easier Installation

In most construction projects, putting on a new roof is something that clients dread. It’s a lot of work, it’s inconvenient, it’s disruptive. But Danpal plastic roofing has mastered the art of efficiency. That’s because the components of our plastic roofing are designed to be versatile so that they can suit your preferences. Our plastic roofing can be installed on a variety of building designs, from both above and below. We build for strength, using snap-on, dry-glazed, interlocking materials constructed from a choice of two very strong materials, polycarbonate or aluminum.

Energy Efficiency Comes With Plastic Roofing

A building can only be as energy efficient as the materials with which it is made will allow it. That’s another reason why Danpal plastic roofing is so popular. As a company with a presence on five continents, we have a broader understanding of just how important sustainability is. It’s not just people who have lifestyles; buildings have them as well.

Our philosophy is that a building should exist in harmony with the environment and plastic roofing is one of the best ways to accomplish that. Plastic roofing is as durable as it is light in weight, able to protect against leaks and weather damage so that insulation remains dry inside, even if it’s raining or snowing outside.

Energy efficiency in the home equals financial efficiency in your wallet. You aren’t paying for heating or cooling that isn’t being used because plastic roofing is one of the ways that your home or office keeps fuel—and your money—inside where they belong instead of escaping!

Appearance Counts With Plastic Roofing

Danpal promotes the esthetics of construction as well as its function. Architectural design incorporates standard features—walls, ceilings, windows, doors, etc.—but there’s something else that Danpal and plastic roofing include in building construction and that asset is daylight. It’s a remarkable innovation that a company which is renowned for making high-quality building materials has also been able to pioneer daylighting architecture.

Natural light is a marvelous asset to our living and working environment, one that adds to the esthetic appeal of a structure but also enhances the quality of life for those within.

Roofing systems start a building out right

Posted on April 3, 2019 by Danpal

Weather, which comes right out of the sky, is at the top. Next in line is the roof. Those of us down below react to the weather every day, but before it strikes us, it’s already hitting the roof. Whether the sky is shooting down hail that hits like bullets, or pouring rain that pounds upon the surface of the roof, or sending down flakes of snow that accumulate, there’s no way to escape the weather. That’s why building material manufacturers pay so much attention to the products that we develop; we know that a flawed roofing system is going to immediately affect the performance of your building. At Danpal, we’ve had half a century to study the problems that weather causes and that’s given us more than fifty years to develop high-quality roofing systems which are strong enough to stand up to energy and lightweight enough to be easy to work with.

ROOFING SYSTEMS KEEP OUT WEATHER

It’s really pretty obvious. A roof is the lid of the building. Its role is to keep the occupants and contents inside free from experiencing the weather that is beating down upon it throughout the seasons. As long as a roof is watertight and airtight, you can be confident that it’s doing its job in keeping drafts and moisture out. And don’t forget sunlight—heat, and sun can also damage a roof, which is why we offer co-extruded UV protection for our roofing systems. For the traditional weather threats posed by rain, snow, hail, and wind, Danpal has developed a double-tooth, grip-lock connection that shuts out weather and enhances thermal protection inside to keep your building’s insulation dry.

R U AWARE OF YOUR ROOFING SYSTEM’S “R” and “U” VALUES?

One of the ways that the construction industry has changed over the past five decades has been in response to environmental concerns. As new regulations were passed that required the building industry to develop products that don’t harm the environment, Danpal invested in research and development to advance the manufacturing of sustainable products. R-values are the resistance to the heat flow; the higher the R-value, the greater is the resistance and the insulation value. The U-values represent the amount of heat that escapes; the lower the U-value, the slower the rate of heat flow and consequently, the quality of the insulation is better.

“U” and “R” values have improved during this time as environmental awareness has become a way of life for consumers and businesses alike.

ROOFING SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Airtight and watertight means that insulation can do the work it’s designed to do without suffering a loss of performance due to leaks and drafts. Cooling and heating systems maintain a consistent temperature throughout the year with dry insulation. As populations grow and nations become more industrially advanced, we all have an obligation to make certain that the building products that we use do not compromise the health of the planet. Energy efficiency is a benefit to everyone. It costs less for the consumers because you’re only paying for the energy that you use; it helps the planet because energy isn’t wasted and carbon footprints remain smaller.

Weather is tough, but it can’t defeat the performance of a Danpal roofing system.

Choose A Roofing System That Meets Your Needs and Your Budget

Posted on March 12, 2018March 12, 2018 by Danpal

When you’re a global company like Danpal, with branches on five continents, you understand the geography of roofing systems a little bit more than most companies because your structures have roofs, too! Danpal’s fifty years of experience show the results of the company’s commitment to research and development. These results have produced the kind of technological advances that have taken roofing systems to twenty-first century levels of innovation. Our clients rely on us to provide the most current, up-to-date products available so that their structures will benefit from that technological edge that Danpal delivers. We’re confident that we can help you choose the right roofing system that’s designed for your region’s climate as well as your personal budget.

Where In The World Is Your Weather?

Choosing a roofing system is a vital part of the design process. Your roofing system must be able to protect your building from the threat that external elements like weather can present. If you choose a roofing system that’s made of high-quality materials, you’re going to ultimately save money, because that system will be designed to offer protection for a long time. Remember that roofing systems aren’t all the same, nor should they be. The roofing system that you choose will be one that is geared toward the climate of the region in which your building will stand.

Matching Your Roofing System With Your Weather

The first point of attack for weather when it strikes is the roof of your building. That’s why your roofing system has to be durable enough to withstand that first onslaught of rain, snow, hail, wind and even the hot sunshine. Every form of weather that we experience has the power to cause damage to a building. But Danpal roofing systems have the power to protect buildings from weather. By preventing leaks from occurring, your roofing system can keep your building dry inside.

Budgeting For the Right Roofing System

An investment like a roofing system can seem like a lot of money. But when you consider that the roofing system that you choose will be protecting your structure from weather damage, leakage, moisture penetration and mold, you realize that the investment is a worthwhile one. But if you think that economizing by choosing a roofing system that’s cheaper will be a bargain, think again. Cut-rate quality means problems down the road, and those problems are going to cost money. Once moisture has invaded the interior of a building, it’s only a matter of time until it begins to cause deterioration. The damage the mold can cause isn’t limited to your building. Mold is a health problem that affects the occupants of a building, particularly people who suffer from allergies or respiratory ailments such as asthma.

Choosing the right roofing system is the first step for creating the building that’s designed to last. Danpal technology and your budget, working together, provide the roofing system that’s right for your climate and your building.

Choosing the Right Roofing System for Your Project

Posted on August 23, 2017August 23, 2017 by Danpal

The Right Roofing System Starts at the Top

When designing a building, one of the most important assessments to make is deciding on the roofing system that is best. With more than half a century in the business of building, Danpal has seen a lot of roofing come and go, and the company’s experience and expertise can make your decision-making a lot easier. Danpal is on the cutting edge of the latest innovations in construction and we’re constantly improving our existing products. Over the years, we’ve developed a roofing system that is both fundamentally sound and energy efficient, as well as esthetically attractive.

Factors to Consider in Choosing Your Roofing System

An architect surveys his plans like a commander overseeing a battle map. What are the strengths of the opponent? What are the weaknesses of the building? What is the best tactic to defeat the enemy? The roof is the main barrier between the interior of a building and its exterior, and the roof is under constant, daily attack from a formidable enemy. One of the most powerful enemies that a building faces is weather. There’s no escaping it: a roof has no force shield to keep the rain and snow from falling, the wind from blowing, the hail from bombarding, or the sun from beating down. But a roofing system must be able to withstand all of these powerful elements if it is to stand firm against deterioration. Many of us have noticed more and more episodes of extreme weather, as storms in both winter and summer seem to be more potent. These are the factors that remind us of how important it is to choose a roof that is built to last and to protect against weather at its worst.

A Roofing System’s Appearance

Danpal can provide the roofing system that you’re looking for, whether your design is modern or traditional. The design of a roofing system also matters, because it significantly affects the building’s ultimate appearance. The color, texture, and type of roofing all need to be in harmony with the overall style of the building, including its exterior look and finish. The design needs to blend together; clashing styles make the entire building appear to have been rushed to completion without forethought for how it would look when it was actually constructed.

Roofing and the Environment

As regulations become stricter, new rules are re-defining the kinds of roofing systems that can be used, particularly with regard to coatings, sealants, and adhesives. Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic evolution in the kinds of roofing materials available, thanks to technological advances. While traditional materials remain popular, newer materials such as polycarbonate are rapidly becoming the favorite because of their durability, flexibility, and their energy efficiency. As the environment has become more of a concern, the move to use environmentally friendly materials has rapidly gained momentum. At Danpal, we know that your roof is part of your building, and your building is part of the wider world. Keeping everything in balance is what makes a building a success.
