For many years now, one of the main things that people were concerned about when it came to wall cladding was how well it kept water away and from permeating through the external surfaces, causing damage internally.
Thanks to revolutionary new systems from the team at Danpal, the importance of insulation, air tightness and ventilation have come to the forefront when talking about wall cladding.
Why are these three pillars so important in wall cladding?
It is simple; ventilation and air tightness is a close couple when it comes to achieving a healthy living environment. In older times, homes were generally well ventilated, even if they were draughty and hard to get heated. It is the draughtiness that kept them well ventilated and it actually was healthier for us.
These days a lot of wall cladding is well sealed but the home itself is subsequently badly ventilated. It’s funny to think that old doors and rattly windows allowed the house to have some breathing space and the moisture and heat was able to also be released.
Having good ventilation in a house means that there is a constant flow of air permeating throughout the structure. Clean and fresh air comes in – old and moisture filled air gets released. This is why good ventilation means that humid air is taken out of the house before it is allowed to develop condensation and promote the growth of harmful moulds. Studies have shown how these moulds can be extremely toxic and detrimental to our health.
This is why the wall cladding system that Danpal have developed is so powerful; natural ventilation is achieved using an air gap. This means that the connective motion occurring behind the panels will keep the insulation nice and dry, while also keeping it performing well in the long run.
You get the best of both worlds; greater energy efficiency and better quality air.
