Rainscreen cladding – Why more and more people turning to specific?

Posted on February 1, 2017August 17, 2020 by Danpal

While it is obvious judging from the name that rainscreen cladding’s main use is to protect the exterior of a structure from damaging weather and to allow for a well-designed path of clearance for any rain water, there are some reasons why you should trump for it over other alternatives.

Rainscreen cladding from market leaders like our team at Danpal have more advanced functions integrated into the design which adds another layer of benefits for the end user.

If you did not use rainscreen cladding on the exterior of a building, those materials that are porous and have been used in the construction process will be exposed to the negative weather conditions which will greatly accelerate the deterioration process of the structure.

At Danpal, our system also allow for the easy removal of one or more sheets so they can be replaced if any issue occurs, rather than having to strip the entire structure as you may have to do with other materials.

Rainscreen cladding also is very effective at providing strong levels of thermal insulation for the structure while still being cost efficient. You also do not have to sacrifice a lot of valuable floor space in order to have this form of insulation, which is a major negative when you look at alternative options.

These cladding systems are very appealing visually and they give the architect a huge scope for innovation and creativity, as you can be very flexible in the approach taken. The finishes used can be changed and the shapes of the panelling twisted and altered to fit the vision of the chief designer.

With environmental conditions becoming more and more extreme, they have been a large area of focus when it comes to the construction industry. This is why sustainability of wall cladding is vital. While rainscreen cladding helps improve the thermal insulation ad decrease energy costs as a result, rainscreen cladding can also help the sustainability of a structure as it reduces materials wasted and used.

No matter what your budget constraints may be or challenges that you may face with your project, with the flexibility of our rainscreen cladding system at Danpal, no obstacle is too large to overcome. Our team can work closely with you to make your vision to come into reality by providing you with a world class service and top quality products that have been tried and tested on the biggest of stages.

The decision on what type of wall cladding you are going to use will make or break the final look of the structure you are working on, as well as the functionality of the structure. With rapidly developing technology, materials are changing at a fast pace and new possibilities are being opened up to architects when it comes to the decision of what type of wall cladding to use.

Durability and longevity are important factors to consider when choosing the right materials for wall cladding, as no matter how beautiful the structure may look, if it is not strong and long lasting, you will need to repair it or replace it, which will be very costly.

This is especially true if you are building in an area, which exposed to severe weather conditions. High winds, rain and snow will give your wall cladding a difficult challenge to deal with.

The Importance of Effective Wall Cladding

What is Wall Cladding?

Wall cladding is a great way to protect a building from adverse weather elements, as well as other types of irritants that could have a negative effect on the building.

Wall cladding is the process of layering one material on top of another material which will create a skin layer over the walls. Cladding is almost exclusively used as a control feature, preventing the walls and the internal workings of a room or building being damaged by water or allowing the leakage of water that could potentially become a hazard for people who are walking around inside of the structure.

Depending on the task at hand, different types of materials can be used, such as wood, brick, metal plastic or imitation stone. Metal cladding is usually in the form of galvanized steel or aluminium.

Advantages of Exterior Cladding

The main advantage of using an exterior wall cladding is to protect a building form external damage while needing little to no maintenance. Once the wall cladding is in place, it will not need to be regularly checked or serviced like other weather protection measures have to be, costing time and money.

If you have external cladding, if you care about aesthetics, it can be quickly washed down with water and it will look as good as new. One of the most common materials used is aluminium, as it is very durable and versatile, as well as lasting long into the future.

One of the key purposes is for the protection and safety of the building and its occupants. It will make sure that the mechanical structure of the building remains sound, as it will be able to adapt to changing weather conditions. This is especially helpful in regions that go from one extreme temperature at one time of the year, to an extreme temperature during the other time of the year. It will also help to reduce the amount of water that is absorbed and will provide protection against chemical or air pollution.

Danpal and Their Wall Cladding System

When it comes to Danpal and wall cladding, they are one of the leading providers in the industry. We have already talked about the important protective features that wall cladding provides, but with Danpal’s special system, it will also save you money in the long run, as the Danpal VRS is a system that provides great insulation for the room and building that it is protecting.

Proper insulation in a building is vital, as it will ensure that temperatures internally are at an optimum level without having to change settings on specialized units, such as air conditioning and central heating.

The Danpal VRS also allows for natural ventilation of the building thanks to a special air gap, while still ensuring that the insulation remains dry and efficient over time.

It is even more lightweight than your traditional wall cladding thanks to the connector-bound Microcell polycarbonate panels, meaning that it is simple and easy to install.
