Translucent facade and roofing systems
D
an Pal (UK) are leading suppliers of translucent facade
and roofing systems to the construction industry. The systems are used in over 40 countries worldwide and Dan Pal (UK) is proud to be part of a global organisation with 30 years experience in the manufacture and supply of the systems.
Danpalon is a standing seam translucent system which can be successfully utilised on any aspect of the building envelope. There are many examples of facade in the UK; rainscreen cladding; roofing; canopy and atrium installations; as well as internal walling, partition and ceiling applications. Building sectors include industrial applications; transport infrastructure; commercial and retail projects; public housing and education.
The Danpalon range gives freedom of design and a variety of choice to meet the specific needs of any given project. A lightweight system, quick to install with a proven technical record, makes the system a very competitive option whatever

the required use. Dan Pal (UK) can supply everything from a simple, single skin façade to a fully insulated wall with U values lower than 0.40 whilst still offering diffused, natural light in to the internal space.
Whether it is anti-glare systems ideal for sports centre use, curved systems for vaulted canopies or atria, coloured facades or solar shaded roof systems, they can offer a solution to any building need.
The Dan Pal (UK) team create an atmosphere of support and technical assistance from concept stage to installation, available at every stage of the procurement and installation processes.
This support and technical back up enable Dan Pal (UK) to assist in the delivery of projects on time and to budget. As the sole suppliers of these unique, robust and technically advanced systems in the UK, they can help bring any project to life and help grand ideas become realised.
The Danpalon system has been installed extensively within the
infrastructure sector over the last 30 years on a global scale. And it is this broad portfolio that gives them the ability to undertake projects of the highest sizes and qualities. Not only has the Danpalon system been used for train stations and depots but also bus terminals, ferry ports and a host of international airports the world over.
Recent projects include the Associated British Ports project in Southampton, one of the largest ferry ports in the city. Dan Pal (UK) supplied the systems for this grand project that saw Danpalon used on cylindrical roof-lights and vertical translucent walling for many areas of the passenger terminal.
Using a wide variety of Dan Pal UK systems, the architects designed something that is truly unique and is a great technical achievement. Dan Pal (UK) systems were used for the baggage terminal, waiting areas and passenger terminal.
For the large facade in the baggage terminals, Danpalon 16mm clear 1040mm wide
panels were used in a horizontal, multiple configuration installation. The resulting installation resulted in a superb U value achieved of 0.35 W/ m2/0C.
Possibly the greatest technical achievement on the project were the cylindrical ‘chimney’ roof-lights in the passenger terminal. The Danpalon panels were thermoformed to complete a perfect non-facetted cylinder flooding the internal space with natural light.
Additionally, there was a large area of curved, insulated polycarbonate system used in the baggage areas at the entrance to the main building.
This project is a perfect example of how Dan Pal (UK) systems can be utilised in a variety of ways within the same scheme, a requirement for infrastructure projects.
Other projects within the Dan Pal group include metro stations in Chile, the Shanghai Underground and the A380 hangars at Charles De Gaulle Airport.
