Natural Skylight Architecture: The Art of Light

You want to enjoy the great outdoors without actually being outside all the time. The workplace isn’t designed for an outside setup; schools, hospitals, offices are all dependent upon the amenities that come with inside settings. But sometimes, as you walk past the windows, don’t you wish that your daily routine included a bit more of the outside?  With Naturalite Skylight Systems, that wish can come true. Skylights are intended to bring in daylight to internal spaces and Danpal has been a pioneer in daylighting architecture.  

Naturalite Skylight Systems Bring In Natural Light

Studies show that exposure to natural light has a positive effect on people.  As an element of the workplace, natural light can increase productivity among employees and create a more pleasant overall environment. It may seem strange to think that the choice of a roofing system could have such a dramatic effect on the occupants below, but when you think about it, don’t you feel your mood improve when you go out into a bright, sunny day?  But you don’t have to worry that you’re going to be overwhelmed by glare as a result of more natural light coming in, because the system is designed to control the amount of light that comes in.

Naturalite Skylight Systems Are Strong Enough To Stand Up to Weather

People who are unfamiliar with skylights sometimes labor under the misconception that the impact of snow, rain, or hail will break through the skylight. That’s not at all true; Danpal building materials for skylights are incredibly strong and resistant to impact.  You’ll have a first-class view of the weather and what it’s doing outside, but you’ll remain safe and dry and warm inside.  So there’s no need to worry; your Naturalite Skylight System can handle Mother Nature.

Contact Danpal to discuss Naturalite skylight systems for your next architectural project.

 

Plastic Roofing Protects Better, Feels Better, Looks Better

The trend in the building industry is for materials to be more environmentally safe, more energy-efficient, and easier to work with while sacrificing nothing in durability. At Danpal, where we’ve had half a century of adapting our innovative research to consumer trends, we know how important it is to see the big picture. And there’s no better perspective from which to see the big picture than by viewing it from the roof! Plastic roofing, to be more specific! It’s a Danpal product that combines energy efficiency, durability, and appearance. If you’re searching for a roofing system that combines the most desired attributes for today’s discerning consumer but sacrifices nothing in old-fashioned quality, consider Danpal plastic roofing.

PLASTIC ROOFING DURABILITY

Weather will always be matched up against building materials in a test to see how well the manufactured products can withstand the weather. As our weather continues to become more challenging, Danpal products have continued to maintain the highest quality of performance. Danpal roofing offers UV protection in order for the roof to maintain its condition for the longest time. Our roofing is designed and built to maintain impermeable air and water tightness so that rain and snow and wind won’t penetrate the roof’s defenses.

Plastic RoofingENERGY EFFICIENCY, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND PLASTIC ROOFING

Danpal lives by its motto, Global Vision, Local Focus, and this slogan is how we do business. We’re an international company with a business presence on five continents, so it’s apparent why we take our motto seriously because the entire world is our customer. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a top priority at Danpal, which is why we’re so attentive to the wellbeing of our clients and the sustainability of the planet. Our roofing products reflect our dedication to the holistic practices that we believe in, and because of that, our clientele can have faith in us.

PLASTIC ROOFING HAS EFFICIENT INSTALLATION

Our plastic roofing can be installed above or below buildings, which makes installation much easier to perform. Plastic roofing employs snap-on, interlocking dry-glazed components made of your choice of polycarbonate or aluminum to provide further ease in the installation process. Both aluminum and polycarbonate are highly regarded for their strength; they’re also prized because they’re not heavy and cumbersome to work with. Lightweight and easy to transport and work with, plastic roofing is a favorite all around!

LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER WITH PLASTIC ROOFING

Another advantage of plastic roofing is its contemporary appearance in providing a look that’s thoroughly modern for today’s design while incorporating the timeless appeal of daylight architecture into the model. Natural light is a form of illumination, which provides better visual power, but it is not just a matter of sight. Bringing daylight into the interior of a structure has a remarkable effect upon the occupants of a building. Workers find that they are more productive and in a better mood because sunlight contains Vitamin D, a necessary nutrient that’s vital to our overall health and wellbeing. Can you really feel better because of your roofing choice? With more natural light in your daily life, you’ll see an improvement!

Maximizing Comfort and Efficiency with Polycarbonate Roofing Solutions

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.

Plastic RoofingTAKE 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

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.

Roofing SystemThe 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

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 RoofingPlastic 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. Polycarbonate plastic roof panels 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

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 SYSTEMSROOFING 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

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.

Roofing SystemMatching 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

The Right Roofing System Starts at the Top

When designing a building, one of the most important assessments to make is deciding on the best roofing system. 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 an industrial polycarbonate roofing system that is both fundamentally sound and energy efficient, as well as esthetically attractive.

Roofing SystemFactors 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; clashing styles make the entire building appear to have been rushed to completion without forethought for how it would look when it was constructed.

Roofing and the Environment

As regulations become stricter, new rules are redefining the kinds of roofing systems that can be used, particularly concerning 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.

They offer easy integration, and the way they’re designed allows them to transmit an even diffusion of natural light, which offers ideal insulation and UV protection.

Our Danpavault Barrel Vault Skylight System can be used as a self-supporting skylight for your roof. Alternatively, it can be placed over a mental structure. Aluminum framing options can be added, allowing it to be installed over spans of different sizes.

Light is what it’s all about when you purchase a skylight and have it installed. Our Danpavault Barrel Vault Skylight roof Systems provide the perfect diffusion of light for your space. Along with that comes thermal insulation and extended UV protection. The greater amounts of light you get from our systems compared to other skylight options make them an obvious choice for anyone wanting to add more natural light to their space, no matter how large or small it is.

Our skylight systems are compatible with all kinds of roofing types. Whether you have a profiled metal or concrete roof, our skylights are easy to install and put in place. The flexibility they offer comes from their unique design, allowing them to slot in place and get to work right away. It doesn’t matter what your existing roof is made from or looks like; the skylight roof you buy from us will fit right in and perform how you want and need it to.

The skylight you purchase needs to be able to handle all kinds of weather conditions once it’s in place. We can guarantee that all of our skylight roof systems are 100% watertight, so you won’t need to worry about rain causing you any indoor problems. Our skylights also use microcell technology, which offers very high resistance to hail damage or other extreme weather effects. If the skylight ever takes an impact, the microcell technology will help it to stay strong too.

It’s built using incredibly flexible and transparent materials that mean it can be formed into different designs while being far more lightweight than glass. A full list of the major benefits of this roofing system can be seen in the points below:

  • 100% Leakproof: The Danpal roofing system passes all the necessary tests to ensure that no water makes it through the roof. It has superior water and air tightness which means it’s ideal for all weather conditions.
  • Lightweight: The panels are incredibly lightweight which makes installation much easier and less time-consuming.
  • Multiple Colors: Danpal’s roofing system is available in various color combinations meaning you get to customize your roof to follow a specific design mission.
  • High thermal insulation: Each panel is designed with a specific cell structure that helps provide industry leading thermal insulation. Heat is kept inside, and this greatly improves the energy efficiency of your roofing system.
  • Unrivaled UV Protection: Thanks to the revolutionary technology in the Danpalon roof panels, fewer UV rays get passed through this roofing system. As a consequence, there is excellent UV protection, which extends the system’s life.
  • High impact resistance & strength: The roof panels are designed with strength in mind and are impervious to high impacts. The cell structure of each panel combined with the unique double tooth grip-lock connection helps strengthen the roofing system and prevent weather damage from occurring.
  • Cold bending of panels on-site: Unlike a lot of other roofing systems, the panels can be bent on-site without the introduction of heat. This allows you to bend and manoeuvre each panel to your own design based on the structure you’re building.
