A Louver Façade Is At Your Service For Sunlight and Shade

Posted on by Danpal

If you’re lucky enough to have had a louver façade installed on the exterior of your building, you’re relishing the presence of sunny days and warmer temperatures. Now that summer has arrived in the northern hemisphere, people think that weather worries are over. There’s certainly no threat of blizzards for those countries where June, July, and August herald a chance to enjoy outdoor activities uninhibited by snow and cold. However, too much of a good thing, even the summer sun, can present problems. With sunshine comes glare; with warm weather comes heat and humidity. Being able to control those weather features is one of the reasons why a louver façade is such a popular architectural addition to a design.

A Louver Façade Adds Weather Control And Comfort To A Building’s Interior

On a perfect day, when the temperature is just right, a louver system can make things even better by bringing the outdoors inside. On an imperfect day, one in which rain has darkened the skies and brought dampness and chill along with it, your louver façade keeps the inclement weather out. Microcell technology has proven its strength and versatility. It presents a strong defense against weather’s extremes, which helps to keep insulation dry and free from the moisture that could otherwise compromise your energy efficiency. Because Danpal facades are famed for their light weight and ease of installation, they’re a popular choice among architects.

Sunshine and Shade Brought To You By A Louver Façade

Bringing the outdoors inside means finding the right balance between sunlight and shade. Sunshine, for all its wonders, can sometimes be too bright. That’s when we need shade and that’s one of the ways in which a louver façade can blend the benefits of natural light with the comfort of shade. Too warm? Too bright? No problem for a shading system Daylighting architecture delivers the weather the way that you like it, with fresh air on demand, and shade when you need it.

How A Louver Façade Improves Energy Efficiency

It’s natural that, in cold weather, we depend upon our heating systems; in hot weather, we crank up the air conditioning. But with 365 days in a calendar year, there are many days when we don’t need heating or cooling. That’s when a louver façade can make an enormous difference, both in your comfort and in your energy usage. You’ll relish those days when you have all the advantages of the beautiful outdoors while you work inside—the natural light, the fresh breezes, the shade—without those negative aspects of nature, like bugs, glare, and humidity.

Happiness Is a Louver Façade

Well, that might be an exaggeration, but when you think about it, you realize that a louver façade, by giving you more control over the level of nature that you allow into your workspace or living space, does make you feel better and more productive. These days, when the remote working and learning models are becoming far more familiar, isn’t it a good idea to find out whether your home office would benefit from a louver system?

Horizontal Louvres Are Danpal’s Comfort Color Chart

Posted on by Danpal

As much as we like the sunshine, we can’t help but wish that nature came equipped with some customizable features like horizontal louvres so that, when we’re outdoors, we’d be able to control the levels of light and minimize the glare. So far, Mother Nature has not proven herself willing to allow that but fortunately, Mother Nature does not have the final say over what goes on inside. That’s why, with Danpal horizontal louvres, the consumer decides how much sunlight is too much, and when the irritation of glare needs to be subdued by the relief of shade. With Danpal and architectural innovation, we’re able to enjoy nature on our terms.

Scheduling Sunlight With Horizontal Louvres

Depending on the time of day, sunshine makes an appearance at different places in the room and some of those times might be especially inconvenient for us, depending on what we’re doing and how much glare is interfering with what we’re looking at. Horizontal louvres are designed to offer different angles so that we can bring in the sunlight and close off the glare.

Using Horizontal Louvres To Improve Ventilation

Fresh air on a temperate day is something that many of us enjoy, particularly if we’re working inside. Fresh air helps to keep us alert and even if we wish we could be outside enjoying leisure, we at least benefit from the ventilation indoors. Horizontal louvres can be angled so that the windows bring in air from outside. If we want lots of air, the louvres allow for maximized air flow to almost as much as the full width of the window.

Maximizing Horizontal Louvres Ventilation to Improve Energy Efficiency

We depend upon our heating and cooling systems to keep us comfortable inside when we’re dealing with winter cold, summer heat, autumn frost, and spring rains. But with accessible ventilation, consumers can also take advantage of fresh air, sunshine, and shade from outside. Horizontal louvres make it possible to stay comfortable on temperate days without turning on the heat or the air conditioning. Your heating and cooling systems get a break. So does your budget—fresh air is free!

Louvres and the Danpal Translucent Polycarbonate Shading System

Did you know that comfort comes in different colors? It does with the DanpaShade Louvre System, which not only gives you the option of choosing the ventilation comfort level that’s right for you but also lets you decide what color it should be. You’ve known Danpal as a leader in designing building materials that are durable and easy to work with. Now you know that they also manufacture products that let you redefine the color of comfort.

Why You Should Choose Danpal for Your Horizontal Louvres

Danpal’s pioneering of daylighting architecture makes the company a leader in innovation. Danpal’s mitment to a Global Vision, Local Focus philosophy combines holistic values, environmental consciousness, and the innovation that’s driven over half a century. Danpal calls five different continents home; that means that the globe is our operational center and the human population is our customer base.

NATURE LOOKS BETTER WHEN VIEWED THROUGH A LOUVRE FACADE

Posted on by Danpal

You might think that weather is a matter entirely beyond human control, but thanks to Danpal louvre facades, consumers have some influence when it comes to how much of weather they need to accommodate. Architecture has long since come to terms with the fact that the chief function of a building is to create a working and living space where the elements won’t interfere with the ongoing routine. Everyone would agree that keeping out rain, snow, hail and wind is a vital purpose for a structure. But what about sunshine, daylight, and shade? Danpal can help you decide what parts of weather are welcome inside.

What Is The Role of A Louvre Façade In A Building’s Design?

A façade is one of the ways to prevent moisture caused by weather from penetrating a building’s defences and compromising the integrity of the insulation within. Insulation has a vital role in energy efficiency; when insulation is compromised by moisture, energy escapes, causing heating and cooling costs to increase. Made of Microcell technology, a Danpal louvre façade is both lights in weight and sturdy in function, giving you the best of both worlds when it comes to installation and performance. The lightweight louvre façade can easily be installed against a building or else protruded so that they bring shade.

Daylight, A Louvre Façade, and Optimum Weather Indoors

Since its beginning more than 50 years ago, Danpal has been a trailblazer when it comes to daylighting architecture. Not enough daylight means that there’s too much shade inside; too much daylight increases glare and makes it hard to see. But with daylighting architecture and louvre façade, you have control over the ratio of sunshine to shade, depending on your preference. You also benefit from the ventilating function of the louvre façade. When it’s too cold for fresh air, all you have to do is close the louvres. But on those wonderful days when a warm breeze from outside is just what you need, the louvres are there to make it happen.
But louvre facades don’t just defend against weather; you don’t want to host a rainstorm in your work-from-home-office, but a little extra sunlight can make the day more productive. That productivity extends to the energy efficiency that you’ll enjoy with louvre facades as well. Heating and cooling systems within the home perform to expectation as long as they’re in working order and the insulations isn’t compromised. But sometimes there are days when you just want some fresh air, or more light. Never mind the heat, never mind the AC, just bring in sunshine or shade. Your wish is the louvre façade’s command.

Looking Good With Louvre Facades

Danpal is dedicated to the idea that superior performance and esthetic appeal both play an important part in the architecture of a building. By offering a versatile line of colors and finishes, Danpal makes it possible for architecture to play artist in designing a building that is visually pleasing to the onlooker as well as the occupants.

Sun Shading Louvres are a Gateway for Sunlight

Posted on by Danpal

Louvres are one of the best ways that architecture can offer indoor dwellers the opportunity to enjoy a bit of the outdoors even while they’re sitting in a room. Why should nature be experienced only during the months when we traditionally participate in outdoor activities? When you’re inside, the daylight outside your window is irresistible. Louvres allow that daylight to come inside. But what happens when the sunlight coming in becomes too intense and the glare makes it impossible to see with any clarity? Once again, it’s louvres to the rescue. In the case of glare, it’s sun shading louvres that can make the difference by blocking the glare and creating shade, so that you decide how much of the sunlight to admit.

How Sun Shading Louvres Work in Different Seasons

We require different things from nature and nowhere is this more apparent than with sunlight. How much sunlight is just enough? Sun shading louvres manage that balance: they can let in more direct sunlight when it’s the season for turning on the heat; when it’s time for air conditioning, the louvres can block the direct sunlight from coming in. Over the course of the building’s life span, energy consumption is actually reduced.

What Sun Shading Louvres Offer for the Environment

It might seem hard to believe that the way you ventilate your building can have an ecological effect, but it’s true. Sun shading louvres work especially well in structures that have a significant window surface. The louvres can shield the interior space from the intense effects of the sun; namely, high temperatures and glare. Temperature alteration of this nature can keep rooms cool without needing as much air conditioning. That reduction in mechanical cooling leads to more energy efficiency and money saved. A sustainable lifestyle benefits us as well as the environment and sun shading louvres can help with that smart move.

The Danpal Louvre System Shows off the Appeal of Sun Shading Louvres

In addition to their performance, the sun shading louvres also add an esthetic touch to a building. Danpal offers an impressive range of colors and finishes so that you can choose the louvres that are best suited for the overall architectural design of your building. You can select a glossy or matte finish, as well as assorted color combinations. You’ll find louvres a satisfying addition to your building, not only because of the enhanced appearance, but because so much choice is available to you.
The choice of how much light and shade is one of the Danpal® Louvre System’s most satisfying features. You’ll customize daylight itself as you set the louvres on completely open, half open, or completely closed, depending upon the weather that day and your own preference.
Of course, performance is always key for customer satisfaction and Danpal never disappoints. Our Microcell technology, high-impact resistance, easy and affordable installation, and co-extruded UV protection that gives the system a long life span are all proof that at Danpal, our innovative tradition delivers customer satisfaction with every product we manufacture.

Outdoor Louvres Give You a Little More of the Outside World for Your Inside Enjoyment

Posted on by Danpal

 
Imagine if we could bring the outdoors inside. The fresh air, the beautiful sunlight, that wonderful feeling of being invigorated through closer ties to nature. The outdoors is indeed a marvellous environment . . . but what about when it snows and we long to hurry inside where it’s warm? Or when it’s raining and we’re soaking wet and can’t wait to get out of the storm? The out-of-doors has definite attributes, but for most of us, it’s the inside world where we spend the majority of our time, and that means that we have to find a way to bring the outside in. Outdoor louvres are one way to do that: they can be opened all the way or half-way, or closed entirely, depending upon your personal preference and how much of the out-of-doors you want to welcome into your living and working space. The choice is up to you, and isn’t it wonderful to know that, even though we have no control over whether outdoor louvre let us control how much of it affects our comfort zone.

Why Outdoor Louvres Are the Answer for Personal Climate Control

With outdoor louvres, you make the decision on how much light and air you want to bring inside. On a rainy, windy day, you might not want the louvres to be fully open; you might even want them to be closed. If it’s a beautiful day and you don’t want that “stuck-inside” feeling, you can open the outdoor louvre halfway or all the way so that, even though you’re inside, you’re not missing out on the fresh air and sunlight outside. Outdoor louvres are a satisfying and responsible way to minimize your consumption of energy, which make them the environmental choice as well.

Outdoor Louvres and Indoor Daylight

One of the many advantages of outdoor louvre is the way that it lets you determine how much natural light is going to be brought into your spaces. Do you want lots of sunlight, or do you want shade? Outdoor louvres let you decide. When the louvres are open, you not only receive the amount of daylight that you want, but improved ventilation as well. Think of the seasons and how you enjoy them; now think of how much more you’ll enjoy then when you add outdoor louvres.

Danpal® Louvre Translucent Shading System and Outdoor Louvres

Danpal’s pioneering in the field of daylighting architecture is a triumph that matches cutting-edge innovation with natural light. That achievement is exemplified by the properties of outdoor louvres, which are designed to give daylight as much of a presence as you think is appropriate depending upon the weather and your preference. You can’t control the sky or what comes out of it, but with outdoor louvre, you’re the one controlling your own personal climate. You can count on Danpal quality and Danpal’s Microcell technology to bring you the most innovative products designed to ensure your comfort.

The Danpal Louvre Wall System Designs Sunlight and Shade for Your Interior Space

Posted on by Danpal

The flow of air in a building is a major factor in the comfort level of the occupants within. You don’t want too much or you’ll feel the cold, but if there’s too little moving air inside, the atmosphere is stuffy. Of course, your heating system in the winter and your air conditioning in the summer are supposed to keep things comfortable inside. That’s what they’re designed to do. However, when it’s too hot, we hurry back into the air conditioning. When it’s too cold, we can’t wait to get out of the cold and into the warmth inside. We expect to be comfortable when we’re inside a room. We enjoy being outside when the weather is pleasant, but sometimes, heat and air conditioning need help. That’s where a louvre wall system comes into play.
Ventilation is more than just cranking up the heat or the AC. Louvres provide ventilation that prevents inside air from feeling stale. A louvre wall system allows the air to flow without resistance while keeping out the rain and moisture, so that people can retain that internal comfort while keeping out the external elements that don’t belong inside. When you think about it, it’s the perfect way to add just the right amount of comfort to your living or working space.

Other Functions of Louvre Systems

You might think of a louvre system as your own personal climate control centre. Louvres are angled slats that help with ventilating a room or the inside of a structure, but they serve other purposes as well. A louvre wall system also contributes to a much broader means of weather maintenance. If it’s a beautiful day outside, the sun is shining and the temperature is comfortable, your louvres can be opened wide to let in the warmth and the light. But what if it’s too hot and too bright and the sunshine is too intense? The louvres can be closed a bit so that you have more shade. If it’s a rainy day or the temperature is cold outside, you simply close the louvres.
A louvre wall system delivers the sunlight, the shade, and the fresh air. And it also adds to the external appearance of the structure, so that the result isn’t just climate control, but esthetic appeal as well. A building doesn’t need to be just a physical structure; it can also present an attractive image in the community. Louvres provide this tool so that the consumer can, from inside, determine how much of the outside is going to enter.

The Danpal Louvre Wall System Delivers Sunshine and Shade

Danpalon® Louvre, a translucent shading system, offers maximum control over light and heat, as well as extended UV protection and high-impact resistance. It also offers control, with a louvre wall system that gives consumers the power over how much light and shade, as the weather indicates, is brought inside. The louvre wall system also lends itself to esthetics, with finishes, effects and colors that transform the exterior design of a building. Sunlight and shade for comfort, with beauty thrown in for good measure: that’s the Danpal louvre wall system.

Curtain Wall Louvres Are Your Inside Weather Forecaster

Posted on by Danpal

A curtain wall system is designed to keep weather out of the interior of a building. It serves as an external covering of a building where the outer walls do not have a structural purpose. Curtain wall systems aren’t required to support the building, which means that they can be light in weight. Curtain wall systems are engineered to prevent moisture and air from invading the interior of a structure, and to withstand wind loads. Curtain wall louvres are popular because they help to enhance the daylighting effect that natural light bestows upon internal areas, as well as lend themselves to other typical attributes of louvres such as improved visual support and energy efficiency.

How Curtain Wall Louvre Perform

There is an impressive array of architectural variety available in construction plans today, and curtain wall louvre add to that versatility. In order to function as a high-performing unit, the glazing frames of the louvres are completely integrated into the curtain wall system to display a seamless exterior. The louvres fit so perfectly that they can barely be distinguished from the windows or from the linear design of the curtain wall.

Advantages of Installing Curtain Wall Louvres

Ease of installation leads to cost savings, something that’s certain to delight consumers. Curtain wall louvres also support the climate control of the interior environment. Saving the cost of labor by installing the system, and saving on energy, are all pluses that add up to a win for those who chose curtain wall louvre.

What You Can Expect From the DANPAL® LOUVRE SYSTEM’s Curtain Wall Louvres

Over the course of its half century of leadership in the building industry, Danpal has built a stellar reputation as a company that puts its experience to work.

How much shade do you need to counteract glare? You can select the open/closed dimensions of your curtain wall louvres to reflect the level of weather that’s to your liking.
But louvres also provide substantial weather protection externally. Microcell technology is durable so that it can handle the fierce storms and that assail a building.

Danpal Louvre Systems Personalize Vertical Louvre Panels

Posted on by Danpal

Vertical louvre panels are a familiar architectural feature, in part because in many cases, building roof panels and eaves have a vertical alignment. Where the louvres match those things, continuing that pattern creates a uniform appearance that is esthetically symmetrical and pleasing to the eye. Louvre panels can be installed on the top of a structure so that the overall appearance has a more natural look. Vertical louvre panels retain the characteristic ventilation properties for which louvres are best known, but they also combine an esthetic aspect as well, offering the union of performance and appearance that is their trademark. This harmonious blend of function and visual aspect is also a characteristic of Danpal, a company that has combined a half-century of experience in the building industry with cutting-edge innovation. Danpal’s newest product line, the DANPAL® LOUVRE SYSTEM’S Translucent Polycarbonate Shading System, introduces a dynamic new shade-shift technology that offers a unique approach to external fixed louvre systems.

Ventilation and Variety: The Characteristics of Vertical Louvre Panels

While most of us will never be involved in the construction of a new sports center, or a theatre, or a magnificent edifice, we are directly engaged in the functions of the buildings where we live and work. It’s in that role as consumers and occupants that most of us assess the architectural features of our living and working space. We want to be comfortable inside the rooms where we spend our time. We want that comfort to come with just enough daylight to give us a sense that nature is within our grasp. That’s why louvres are such an asset: they provide us with fresh air and daylight when we seek it, but we decide to close them when temperatures and inclement weather have us seeking shade and warmth instead.

The Translucent Polycarbonate Shading System and Vertical Louvre Panels

Danpal is committed to the concept that its products should maintain a global vision by manufacturing materials that support a safe and sustainable environment, while recognizing the local focus of community needs. With our DanpaShade Louvre System, we produce vertical louvre panels that fulfill this mission. Our systems are built with the light-in-weight and strong-in-endurance Danpalon polycarbonate.

A Louvre Façade Lets You Play With Sunlight and Shade

Posted on by Danpal

 
What are louvre facades? You see them in office buildings and shopping center, in indoor and outdoor settings, enhancing the physical appearance of structures but also providing a valuable function as well. Danpal façade system are designed for the purpose of reducing the transfer of heat and the intensity of light, as well as improving a structure’s physical appearance. Installation can place the louvres against the building, or else they can be protruded in order to provide shading.
The traditional role of a typical façade system is not to play a structural role in a building’s design, but to prevent moisture from causing damage to the interior of that structure. Hail, wind, snow and rain are a building’s natural foes, one which it faces day after day. Danpal uses Microcell technology to defend a building from those harsh elements. Louvre facades are just as strong as a typical Danpal façade system, but they offer something extra. They let you, the consumer, decide how much of the external weather you want to invite inside. Nobody is going to welcome a downpour of rain or a snowstorm inside, but what about those bright and sunny days, when the air is fresh and the day is bright? That’s when Danpal’s daylighting architecture can let you and the sunlight meet on your terms while you’re inside. For those days when the sun is so bright that the glare is unbearable and the heat too intense, you still have control over how much of a hot summer day is going to come in. The louvres can be closed entirely to bring shade to your interior.

Louvre Facades Play With Sunlight and Shade

Wonder what Danpal is up to these days? What if we told you that Danpal, a leader in the building industry for over fifty years and a trailblazer in daylighting architecture, has been learning to play with sunlight and shade?

If the day is cool and not conducive to open louvres, then they can be closed. This feature expands a building’s energy efficiency by allowing nature to carry some of the burden of adding comfort to the indoors, but always on your terms and according to your personal preferences.

Horizontal Louvres Let the Sunshine In

Posted on by Danpal

As we all know, sunlight strikes different places at different hours of the day. But sunlight, as much as we love to see it, and as much as we benefit from it, can be excessive. Glare from sunlight can prevent us from seeing as well as we would like and that’s when the sunlight turns into an impediment to better vision. So what’s the sweet spot between the right amount of sunlight and too much glare? Horizontal louvres can shade the angles differently so that sunlight is something we can enjoy without the glare. Made of a variety of different materials, including vinyl, aluminium, wood and fabric, horizontal louvres are often preferred for tall windows that might be small or narrow. Choosing horizontal louvres is a smart way to let the sunshine in!

What are the Advantages of Horizontal Louvres?

Ventilation

Louvres offer many advantages, including improved ventilation, diffusion of daylight and a reduction of glare, and privacy. Horizontal louvres, which can be angled to give control over the flow of air, maximize the ability of the window to provide a flow of air, to almost the complete width of the window.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a key component of horizontal louvres because the ventilation that comes from the air that comes in lets you reduce the amount of heat and cooling that you need to stay comfortable. This, in turn, lowers the amount that you pay in your energy bills.

Cleaning Ease

When it’s time to clean the louvres, you don’t have all the preparation and fuss of going outside and trying to figure out how to balance your cleaning supplies and yourself on a ladder. That’s because horizontal louvres can be cleaned from the inside, making this a household chore that is no longer one to dread.

How Horizontal Louvres Reflect a New Danpal Technology

Danpal, a building company with a presence on five continents, has built a reputation for innovation through its half-century of leadership in the industry. Now Danpal, with its Translucent Polycarbonate Shading System, has created a unique direction for external fixed louvre systems.

Horizontal louvres are one of the ways that Danpal is adding personal choice to the range of architectural options for consumers to consider. Sunlight, ventilation, and satisfaction, coming in through your louvres.

Exterior Vertical Louvres Give You Interior Climate Control

Posted on by Danpal

Exterior vertical louvres not only provide a means of protecting your windows, but they also allow you to enhance the outside appearance of a building. The vertical louvres, which are set within a frame and placed on the sides of the windows, have other advantages as well. Because they are located on the exterior of the structure, they offer privacy for the occupants inside. They still deliver sunlight and fresh air, bringing the outdoors into your rooms so you reap the benefits of nature while controlling how much of it you want to enjoy. Weather is unpredictable, but exterior vertical louvres let you build the perfect forecast inside.

Here’s Your Exterior Vertical Louvre Weather Report

What’s the weather like outside? If there’s a pleasant breeze outside and you want to enjoy it even though you’re inside, you can open the louvres for optimum ventilation. But if it’s a hot, humid day, the kind of day when you want to escape the temperature, you can close the shutters and savor the shade. The marvellous thing about exterior vertical louvres is that you can enjoy just as much of weather as you prefer, for climate control on your terms!

Maintaining Your Exterior Vertical Louvres

After facing the rain, wind, and snow, your louvres might need to be cleaned, but you won’t have to worry about their ability to withstand the harsh elements because Danpal products can handle whatever the forecast brings your way. Keep in mind that because your exterior vertical louvres are located outside the structure, you may need a ladder in order to reach them. Depending upon the material that the louvres are made of, they can be hosed down and then cleaned. After the louvres are washed, they can be dried with a mop or cloth.

Danpal® Louvre Translucent Shading System and Exterior Vertical Louvres

Louvres are a very satisfying way to include the parts of nature that you like the most into your interior living and working space. There’s the comfort level to be considered, but in these times when so many people are working from home, exterior vertical louvres, when opened to let the sunlight in, also provide you with natural Vitamin D. That means that you can improve your own health just by opening the louvres.
But if it’s a hot day, and you don’t want the heat to get inside, that’s easy to take care of too. The Louvre Translucent Shading System by Danpal lets you experiment with sunlight and shade so that you select the blend of nature that’s perfect for you. You spend a lot of time inside, and now you can share your home with nature. But it’s your home, and you make the rules!
The weather continues to remain powerful outside. Rain, snow and wind are what we expect throughout the different seasons. Don’t worry, though; Danpal’s Microcell technology ensures high-impact resistance to protect the louvres. The system’s snap-on interlocking dry-glazed connectors makes sure of that.

Metal Louvres, the Stronger, More Flexible, More Sustainable Option

Posted on by Danpal

Louvres make an attractive addition to any structure, but you may not know that they also serve a practical purpose, one which demonstrably improves the interior structure for the occupants within. Louvres assist in the ventilation of a building and the material that the louvres are made of also brings additional benefits to the feature. They’re an easy way to add to the comfort of the people who live and work inside the structure; they add ventilation, but they also can increase or reduce the light and shade inside, depending upon preference. Metal louvres, by improving the ventilation of a building, are a sustainable way to lower your heating and cooling costs, helping to provide control over the internal climate of the structure. They are easy to maintain and, unlike other materials such as wood, don’t require a regular schedule of maintenance and upkeep. When you’re making a decision on what material to use for your choice of louvres, you’re going to want to learn more about the advantages of metal.

The Versatility of Metal Louvres

Because of their composition, metal louvre can be formed into the shape that meets the specifications of the customer so that they fit into the space that’s been designated for them. When you’re choosing Danpal products, you’ll soon learn that customer = customization. We don’t expect all buildings to be identical, so why would customer preferences be? If you choose metal louvres, you’re going to be delighted with the range of options that await you.

The Durability of Metal Louvres

Metal louvres seem lighter than those made of other materials, but it’s that lightness of weight which adds to their flexibility. But don’t be fooled, because even though they’re light in weight, they’re among the most durable of all building materials. The basic composition of metal demonstrates that flexible and durable can partner for superior building material.

Metal Louvres and the Environment

In these times when awareness of how much our individual actions affect one another and the planet, metal louvres are a particularly wise environmental choice to make. Metal is environmentally friendly because it’s recyclable and can be reused and reprocessed multiple times without sacrificing the quality of its intrinsic properties. No landfill dump for metal; it can be taken to a recycling centre when it’s no longer needed.

The Esthetics of Metal Louvres

Danpal’s commitment to quality is renowned throughout the building industry. Our dedication to our motto, Global Vision, Local Focus, makes us a steadfast partner in the pursuit of environmental responsibility. We’re also steadfast in our belief that esthetics needs to be factored into the architectural design of a structure. Metal louvre support the Danpal position on all of these metrics. When you add color and style to a building, it becomes more than a structure. It has an image, and at Danpal, we’re proud of that image. You will be too.

Wall Louvres Offer Choices That You’ll Enjoy

Posted on by Danpal

Louvres add a lot to a building, not only in performance but also in appearance. Wall louvres are designed to improve ventilation so that air can flow into a building while the weather remains outside. Wall louvres let the air in, and while it’s wonderful to have fresh air circulating in a room, no one wants to deal with the unwelcome parts of weather, like rain. Wall louvres can also prevent the outside dust and debris from getting inside. Wall louvres manage to do all this while adding to the esthetic appeal of a building’s exterior.

The Benefits of Ventilation in a Building

Most of us spend the majority of our day and night inside, which means that we aren’t getting a lot of fresh air. After a day spent in air that’s stale, we feel a little stale ourselves. No one says that outside air is always pure; pollution is a factor we all deal with. But inside air, without good ventilation to bring in fresh air and move the stale air, has its own negative qualities; there can be bacteria, mold, and pollutants. That’s why wall louvres can help keep your working space and living space well ventilated to provide good air flow.

Architectural Louvres Are The Timeless Answer For Your Ventilation Upgrades

Posted on by Danpal

Danpal’s architectural louvres go a few steps further, fulfilling the basic function of louvres through strength and durability while adding esthetic appeal in a dazzling array of colors.

Architectural louvres are a building feature, but the manner in which they work makes them your own.

The Strength of Architectural Louvres

Any architectural feature located on the exterior of a building is going to serve as a front line force against the weather. Inside a building, you count on the comfort provided by the walls that protect you from the elements. But it’s a very different matter for the exterior of a building, where the meteorological weapons of the four seasons engage in battle outside. Danpal research and development have created Microcell technology, the most innovative system available for architectural shading applications. Microcell technology takes a structure’s oldest enemy—weather—and empowers that structure with high-impact resistance to stand up to the harsh effects of wind, rain, and snow.

Light, Shade, and Architectural Louvres

The spacing between the louvre ribs is tight in order to turn daylight into an architectural feature. Danpal is famous for its pioneering of daylighting architecture and that feature is shown to advantage in architectural louvres that offer a superior quality of daylight that nurtures an esthetically attractive atmosphere. Outside, there may be too much glare from sunlight or too much darkness because of overcast skies, but inside, thanks to architectural louvres, the outside comes in according to your specifications. The system not only allows you to select your preferred light transmission level, but it also offers a choice of matte or glossy finishes for the surface. Color is very much a part of the selection process with this system, and there’s no need to sacrifice beauty for function because the Danpal tradition supplies both.

The Danpal® Louvre Translucent Shading System for Architectural Louvres

Under the innovative direction of Danpal, a building company with over half a century of experience in the industry, the DANPAL®LOUVRE SYSTEM provides maximum control over heat and light. Balancing heat and light doesn’t just have implications for the comfort of those who are inside the structure.

Louvres are a vital asset in the move toward sustainable buildings, and aluminium louvres bring their inherent strengths to this design. Because of their flexibility, durability, esthetic appeal and environmental advantages, aluminium louvres are a popular and affordable choice to reduce heating bills while promoting sustainability. Aluminium is recyclable, so it can be processed and used multiple times while retaining its physical traits.
You want a house that looks nice. You want energy bills that are within reason. You want to be comfortable. With aluminium louvres, you meet all of these metrics without stinting on esthetic appeal. It’s time to look to aluminium as one of the solutions to our environmental needs.
