Exterior Louvres Offer Do-It-Yourself Choices for Light and Shade

Exterior louvres have become increasingly popular for homeowners as a way to enhance the appearance of the outside of their houses. With the color, texture and dimension that exterior louvres deliver, the appearance of your windows imparts a more eye-catching appeal that can make the structure even more attractive. Another feature of the exterior louvres is the fact that they are easy to install, so if you’re a homeowner who is looking for a “Do-It-Yourself” project, consider installing exterior louvres. Our exterior louvres take the “Do-It-Yourself” concept to a whole new level, giving you the final choice over the amount of daylight and shade that you desire for your interior spaces. Controlling the weather? Now that’s really doing it yourself—with a little help from Danpal!

Advantages of Exterior Louvres

Louvres have gained in popularity because they offer a way to invite daylight into the living and working space without having to deal with the less pleasant features of nature. Fresh air is definitely a plus, and if the air turns chilly, it’s simply a matter of closer the louvres. Sunlight is a wonderful addition to a room, but when the sun is so bright that it causes glare, or the heat is too heavy and humid for comfort, the louvres can be closed. Exterior louvres make it possible for you to measure the amount of daylight and sunshine and fresh air that you prefer inside. How much you want is up to you.

Another advantage of the exterior louvres is the privacy that you gain. Occupants of a home or building don’t want to be on display to their neighbors; that’s easily remedied with exterior louvres, which give you ventilation and daylight, as well as privacy.

Sun Shading Louvres are a Gateway for Sunlight

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.

Danpal Louvre Systems Personalize Vertical Louvre Panels

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. Our Aura Louvre System works with sunlight and shade so that you can personalize your interior space for year-round comfort while increasing the energy efficiency of your building. DanpaShade Aura is the pathway to your building’s image, expressed in your own unique style by choosing from the unique two in one color options. It’s another first from Danpal!

The vitality of this latest Danpal innovation is built upon the solid foundation of traditional Danpal performance and quality. Our products are designed to withstand the battering that weather inflicts upon a building. We create systems that celebrate imagination, color and beauty. We promote systems that are harmonious with the environment. Every Danpal system and product reflects the standards of the Danpal vision to build for you and for the planet.

Aluminium Louvres: Stronger, Lighter, Better

What are Aluminium Louvres?

Louvres are a timeless architectural construction that adds to the heating and cooling of a building as well as its visual appearance. Of course, the material that the louvres are made of has a significant effect on the overall effectiveness of the ventilation and lighting. With aluminium louvres, climate control becomes affordable and sustainable, an advantage not only for the environment but also for your household budget. The very nature of aluminium is its charm because it can take a beating from the elements and still retain its strength. In fact, aluminium’s strength-to-weight ratio makes it especially convenient to use.

The Environmental Appeal of Aluminium Louvres

The 21st century faces a world in which the planet on which we live faces unparalleled risks as a result of the manner in which previous generations have ignored the threats posed to our air, water and soil. As people in today’s world recognize that we must promote sustainability if we hope to heal the planet, the popularity of substances like aluminium has increased. The energy efficiency of sustainable aluminium louvres makes them the choice of people who want to live a lifestyle that works in harmony with the environment. The fact that it’s completely recyclable adds to its environmental worth. With residences and commercial structures that are designed to blend harmoniously with our ecological needs, the consumer can count on Danpal to continue to come through for the planet and for consumers.

The Affordability of Aluminium Louvres

It’s not complicated: cut down on your heating and cooling costs and you increase the balance in your checking account. Aluminium is already an affordable building material; add that to the money you’re saving with your air conditioning and your heat and you’re looking at a practical and economical way to cut expenses as you cut your carbon footprint.
Louvres have been around since the medieval era, where you’d find them on turrets or roofs to provide ventilation. It would have been a fairly primitive addition to the architecture of the period, but fortunately, there have been some innovations since that era. 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 also affect the building itself, enhancing the exterior and utilizing shading to relieve the heat load of a building. 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.
