More Info
Exceptional Durability and High Thermal Insulation
Danpalon® Microcell panels are manufactured with unique and innovative extrusion technology, providing ten times more cells than the majority of other sheets on the market. The smaller spans between the rib supports give customers the best combination of translucency and strength. Danpalon® Microcell panels are 100% leakproof, offering superior impact resistance and thermal insulation.
Superior Light Diffusion
The Microcell structure transmits an even diffusion of natural light, producing a rich look. Specifically designed for architectural daylight applications, the tight spacing between the ribs produces a superior quality of light, offering unique iridescence – reflecting and dispersing light in a way unmatched by any other material. Danpalon® Microcell panels are available in a range of thicknesses and widths.
High Thermal Insulation, High Impact and Weather Resistance
The Danpalon® Microcell design features more cells and layers, which gives the panel significantly lower thermal conductivity. Due to the tightness between the vertical supports, Danpalon® Microcell offers the highest resistance to impact and hail damage. The high concentration of cells provides Danpalon® Microcell with improved mechanical properties and rigidity.
Opaque and Translucent
For bright colors with a metallic, lacquered appearance, choose the opaque panels available in a wide range of tints. With Danpal’s translucent range, the appearance of the building changes with the light and reflections projected onto the facade at different times of day.
Bicolour For Special Effect
Our special bicolour option makes refracted light-effects possible, creating a unique 3-dimensional look to your cladding. The panels are available in the colours of your choice and are intended for use, with our Danpal VRS cladding system.
Softlite
Softlite finishing greatly diminishes glare effects. Softlite is a 100% permanent matt finish applied by co-extrusion on Danpalon® panels of any thickness and colour. The Softlite finishing performance is independently validated to ensure maximum visual comfort, regardless of the exposure and type of building.
- Reduce “neon“ effect
- Increase light diffusion
- Increase feeling of comfort
HP – High Protection Treatment
Danpalon® HP is an advanced surface treatment that enables higher performance in areas of graffiti removal and protection against environmental pollution. The Danpalon® HP surface treatment can be applied to most types of Danpalon® panels.
LOW E
Infrared treatment is a co-extruded finish that can be applied in all panels. It can significantly limit solar heat gain without affecting light transmission levels. It works by selectively blocking solar radiation that is part of the non visible range. This leads to a reduction in solar loads, enabling significant reductions in air conditioning costs and carbon emissions.
Heat Welded Edges
The welded edges provide a clean and effective solution that prevents water, dirt or insects from getting inside the microcells.
Unique System Benefits
- Dynamic look
- Flexible solution for summer and winter
- Optimises daylight throughout the day
- Wide variety of colors
Optimizing natural light in buildings is an ongoing challenge. 3DLITE is an advanced, innovative product developed by Danpal®, enabling architects to design creatively while contributing to energy savings and increased lighting efficiency. 3DLITE contains alternating integrated shading louvres which selectively control the sunlight to penetrate evenly during the day while offering thermal insulation and a special dynamic look.
Balancing Daylight Throughout the Day
3DLITE presents a fixed, cost-effective solution for optimising daylight in office buildings, shopping malls, schools, libraries, stadiums, museums, and more.
The alternating integral louvres are specially designed to balance the light throughout the day, reducing heat to the building and scattering the light. 3D LITE allows the sun’s rays to penetrate through at higher levels during the morning and afternoon, while reducing heat in the middle of the day.
DANPALON KINETIC PANEL
TWO STYLES. ONE CREATION
An innovative new panel from Danpal brings you exciting new possibilities for building envelope design.
Depending on viewing angle, a building clad in Danpalon® Kinetic changes its appearance – its lighting, colour, opacity and translucency.
Produced from very high quality polycarbonate using a unique extrusion technique, the Kinetic panel structure integrates alternately coloured surfaces, arranged diagonally between the two outer skins.
KEY FEATURES
- Unique dynamic look
- Two colors in a single panel
- Infinite combinations of contemporary colours
- Alternate opacity and translucency
- Excellent technical and mechanical properties
- Integrates into Danpalon® systems
As with all of its product range, Danpal designed the panel with technical and mechanical properties allowing it to be used with our standard connector system. It offers a wide choice of integration options to meet thermal, light transmission and sound insulation demands.
SUITABLE AS A GLAZING MATERIAL FOR ALL DANPAL SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS.
FACADE – Danpalon® Kinetic enables the creation of animated façades with dynamic effects not seen before.
CLADDING – A ventilated exterior cladding system meeting requirements for energy efficiency, quality and durability in both refurbishment and new build projects.
SKYLIGHT – Easily fits all Danpal skylight systems, creating a functional roofing with a designed looks.
INTERIOR DESIGN – The two-colors game in Danpalon® Kinetic, creates a dynamic look and by that brought life to any Internal spaces.
