Advice on picking the right type of façade material for a given project

When it comes to choosing the right type of façade material, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to the available options. The important thing to remember when making his façade material decision is that you cannot simply think about it as being the skin of the structure; there are also a lot of functional benefits variables you need to consider also.

Is it sufficiently resistant against weather conditions, does it have proper light diffusion, is it a good insulator etc. You don’t want to just look at the variables in isolation; you want to see how they stack together as a sum of their parts as this gives you a realistic idea of what is going to work well.

Sunlight is one of the most important aspects when it comes to choosing a façade material. You want to know how the light will affect the interior space of the structure. You will have to consider different time of days, times of year, the angle and type of materials used.

There’s no one size fits all when it comes to façade material

While transparency has become a very popular trend in recent years for a number of reasons, it is not going to be the right option 100% of the time. You need to be flexible and pick the façade material that best suits the job at hand.

If you have too much transparency, this can lead to the site looking a bit strange if it is in an inappropriate location. The location of the structure plays an important role when choosing the façade material, as you want to fit in with the physical location and the history of the surroundings.

You want these buildings to inspire and give people a great first impression of the structure.

Elements of Sustainable Community Development with Danpal

When it comes to larger residential area design and construction, there are many different variables that will need to be accounted for. There is no set of features or principles that will be universally accepted when it comes to this, but Danpal has learnt over the years through many different projects what the keys to success are.

The aim with any community project is to identify and develop significant and long term impacts on areas such as the environmental and social health, as well as the economic competitiveness of the area.

The shift towards more environmental friendly communities has been noted by Danpal in recent years, with people more aware of what sort of impact they are having on the earth when it comes to where they are living.

Key Danpal Sustainable Development Features

With the amount of developments in this day and age, the efficient use of space is vital. There is only so much land that can be built on, so you have to ensure that the land and surrounding areas you are developing on protects the local ecology. Protecting is key green areas are vital in the experience of Danpal.

The development needs to be energy efficient as global climate change has become a large factor when it comes to design and new developments. Having energy efficient and environmentally friendly structures, households will save money in energy costs and have lower energy costs. At Danpal, this comes in the form of using translucent façades such as polycarbonate panelling.

Diverse community areas are vital. When it comes to building a sustainable community, it needs to have the necessary economic and social supports in place. This is why it is always a god idea to have a specialised community area, such as a community BBQ area etc. where people can gather and get to know one another.
