Danpalon® BRV is a modern cladding solution that enhances building facades with appearance. Available in translucent or opaque options, it allows for creative contrasts by either revealing or concealing underlying structures. Its facade rendering prevents design trivialization, showcasing the unrivaled purity of its microcell structure through rich depth and reflectivity. Under various lighting conditions, it creates a bold visual impact, fitting into diverse urban environments and evolving with the day's rhythm. Additionally, it is easy to install and maintain, featuring a clip-together design with no visible fixings or open joints, and is self-cleaning and easily replaceable.
In the insulation market, ITE (External Thermal Insulation) offers benefits such as eliminating thermal bridges and preserving occupied spaces. The lightweight, durable, and quick-to-install Danpalon® BRV cladding system, available in long lengths and a variety of colors and finishes, is ideal for both new constructions and renovations, compatible with various polycarbonate panels.
Advantages
Danpalon® polycarbonate offers several significant advantages over glass. It is lighter, stronger, and more energy-efficient in both production and transport. Additionally, it provides superior thermal and acoustic performance, solar protection, and durability, along with various environmental benefits. Overall, Danpalon® stands out for its reduced weight, enhanced strength, lower energy requirements for production and transport, and excellent performance in thermal and acoustic insulation, solar protection, and environmental sustainability.
Everlite Concept Groupe Danpal prioritizes its environmental impact, being the first polycarbonate manufacturer to have verified FDES sheets published in the official INIES database and continuously validating its entire product range. They emphasize waste recovery throughout the material's life cycle. The product's compatibility with timber frame constructions, metal platforms, and metal frame buildings is also beneficial.
The other of the Danpalon® BRV system include:
- Perfect water tightness with a double-notched riser
- Excellent impact resistance
- Effective thermal insulation
- Lightweight (panel weight: 2.6 to 3.3 kg/m²)
- Lengths up to 16 m
- No peripheral joints between panels
- Invisible fixings
- Longevity
- Wide range of colors and finishes
- Exclusive Softlite anti-glare finish
- Fire resistance validated by LEPIR 2
- Simple and quick implementation
The panels are assembled using a specific connector fixed to the load-bearing wall, with natural ventilation facilitated by an air blade that promotes convective movement behind the panels, aiding insulation drying and performance maintenance. Danpalon® BRV revitalizes facades in both new and refurbished projects, offering 27 color options in matte or glossy finishes. Its translucent properties allow the structure to adapt to changing light and surroundings.

Reference projects
After 20 years of running a successful martial arts program in an aging dojo, the mayor has commissioned a new facility for the local martial arts program. This new dojo will be the first element of a future park, elementary school, and childcare center. The "In Progression" project symbolizes the journey of martial arts, harmonizing with the site's cultural and natural context while evoking a sense of movement. Danpalon® BRV is a versatile cladding material that enhances the facade providing visual contrast in this project.
The facades achieve a balance between solid and void through the use of two materials. A black metal sheet wraps around the “box,” highlighting its shape, while polycarbonate panels provide varying levels of opacity. Windows in the combat area offer visual connections to the park while ensuring privacy from the road. The entrance hall is open and transparent, featuring an adjacent area for the “dojo” symbol as well as bike parking.
In 2015, a criminal fire destroyed the old boxing room in the Stade Infroit complex. As a result, the City of Villepinte decided to demolish the entire building and commissioned the architectural firms ER Architect / VERDI and AVA to design a new facility for boxing license-holders. The project's goals were to create a building that was proportional to the context and scale of both the stadium and the surrounding neighborhood, which consists of a mix of individual houses and large social housing. Additionally, the building was intended to be multipurpose, accommodating boxing and soccer practices, while also being accessible for various associations and individuals who utilize the space.
The design of the project maintains continuity with the existing ping-pong building and is aligned parallel to the length of the soccer field, featuring integrated covered terraces. The building is designed as a graduated volume, featuring a colorful facade that faces the stadium while protecting the neighboring properties. For the facade, Danpalon® BRV, a versatile cladding material, has been utilized. Danpalon® polycarbonate presents several notable advantages over glass; it is lighter, stronger, and more energy-efficient in both production and transport. Furthermore, it offers superior thermal and acoustic performance, solar protection, durability, and various environmental benefits.
