Rainscreen Cladding: The Place Where Weather Forecasting And Architecture Meet

Danpal has put its 50 years of experience to good use. As an international company with a business presence on five continents, we’ve learned as we’ve grown. We’ve seen a lot of weather and we’ve learned a lot about building materials and how they are affected by the climate. It’s no surprise that, as long as we have weather, we will need building materials that are designed to address the climate patterns where we live. You might not expect your architect and your weather forecaster to have a lot in common, but weather is central to both professions.

For the forecaster, it’s a matter of knowing what the meteorological indications mean so that viewers, depending on where they live, will know whether they can plan a picnic over the weekend or make sure they have all that they need from the store before the snow starts to fall. The architect also needs to know the forecast—all of the forecasts for the foreseeable future. Since this isn’t possible, an architect must find out what kind of weather the building will have to deal with, and once that is determined, the next step is to figure out what building materials are best suited to handling the weather in the region.  For climates where moisture is an issue, Danpal’s rainscreen cladding is the answer to your building’s weather questions.

What You Need To Know About Moisture
Moisture in a building isn’t just a matter of a little bit of dampness that can be ignored. Moisture can cause significant damage to a building; obviously, there’s the immediate problem of leaking. There’s the structural stress that moisture causes. In a worst-case scenario, there’s the danger of building collapse.  Whether your building is the home or the workplace, you don’t want moisture invading, because when moisture arrives, it takes over. Your insulation, if it isn’t dry, isn’t going to work the way it’s supposed to. With rainscreen cladding, you’re equipping your building with the protection that it needs in order to keep the insulation dry.

The Way that Danpal Rainscreen Cladding Works
If you want to keep your building protected against moisture, you should check into rainscreen cladding by Danpal. The insulation stays dry because the ventilated cavity of the rainscreen cladding delivers an improved air flow. Moisture is unable to penetrate because of the rainscreen cladding’s inner sheet. With dry insulation, your building is weather-free on the inside.

Rainscreen Cladding Supports Energy Efficiency
Keeping insulation dry so that moisture can’t invade is one important role played by rainscreen cladding. Another reason to install rainscreen cladding is because it helps a building maintain its energy efficiency. That dry insulation that is keeping your building moisture free is also making sure that your energy is being used efficiently and not wasted. Maintaining a consistent temperature inside your building throughout the year so that you’re comfortable within is one sure way of confirming that you aren’t wasting energy. Smart energy usage is one of the ways in which Danpal and our customers make sure that taking care of the planet remains a priority.
