- 0.65mm (DANPALON® 10, 12, 16 and 22mm)

Interior wall thickness:

- 0.36mm (DANPALON® 8mm)

- 0.52mm (DANPALON® 10, 12, 16 and 22mm).

Identification

The DANPALON panels are subject to annual monitoring. Their

markings are in compliance with § 6 of the Technical File.

2. Assessment

2.1. Accepted areas of application

The DANPALON® BRV system is appropriate for flat and vertical

walls made from concrete or coated masonry, new or already in

use, with or without windows, located on the ground floor or above.

An incline of 15° either way from the vertical is permitted, but this

is limited to windowless walls and a slope length of 6m max.

Wind exposure corresponds to high or low pressure under normal

wind conditions, with a maximum value according to table 1 of the Technical File.

Also, installation is possible on the under-side coating of flat,

horizontal concrete surfaces, new or in use, but they must be

inaccessible (more than 3m from ground level) and have no

children’s play area nearby.

The panels may be installed on bay window lintels.

2.2 Process appraisal

2.21 Satisfaction of the laws and regulations in effect and other qualities concerning fitness for use

Stability

The built-up rainscreen does not take part in the load-bearing, wind-

resistance or safety shock-resistance functions. These fall on the

structure that supports it.

The stability of the built-up rainscreen on these structures is sufficiently

guaranteed in the area of application proposed.

Fire safety

The procedure does not present an obstacle in terms of regulatory

prescriptions. The verifications to be performed (especially those

regarding the “C+D” rule, including for service buildings) must take into

account the following characteristics:

Fire classification: M1 (B,s3-d0) according to the LNE PV n° 104813

– DE/1 (see § B)

Combustible mass (MJ/m²):

- DANPALON® 8mm panels : 55 MJ/m2

- DANPALON® 10mm panels : 76 MJ/m²




- Wooden structure (MJ/m²) : mass in kg/m² x 17.

- Metallic structure : negligible in relation to requirements.

Accident prevention during installation.

This can be ensured normally.

Installation is not authorized

Installation on under-side installation

Installation of the DANPALON® BRV system with a BRV aluminum

structure is permitted on under-side installation in areas of seismic

activity.

Thermal insulation

Compliance with the 2012 Thermal Regulations is to be verified on a

case by case basis depending on the building concerned.

Thermal calculation factors

The surface thermal transmission coefficient Up of a wall which

integrates a translucent rainscreen system can be calculated using the

following formula:

Where:

Uc is the surface thermal transmission coefficient of a mounted panel, in W/(m2.K).

Ψi is the linear thermal transmission coefficient of the integrated

thermal bridge I, in W/(m.K).

Ei is the interaxial of the thermal bridge I, in m.

n is the number of regular thermal bridges per m² of siding

i is the regular thermal transmission coefficient of the integrated

thermal bridge j, in W/K.

The coefficients Ψ and must be determined by digital simulation in

compliance with the method given in the Th-Bât regulations, booklet 5.

In the absence of digitally calculated values, the default values given in

§ III.9.2-2 of Booklet 4/5 of the TH-U Regulations may be used.

For specific details, you should take into account, amongs other things,

the thermal bridge due to flashing.

Wall permeability

For air: this falls upon the supporting wall,

For water:

On concrete and masonry

This can be satisfactorily guaranteed on the main parts of the wall by

the double-ribbed vertical insertion geometry, and completed with a

water evacuation system in the decompression gap in the channel in

the receiving part of the blade sections.

Impermeability is guaranteed for special applications by the use of

paneling sections.

2 Paragraph 1.1 of the standard NF P06-014 outlines the area of

application

The system enables you to construct type XIII walls according to the

“French general usage conditions for external thermal insulation

systems subject to a Technical Assessment” (CSTB file 1833 from

March 1983).

Environmental and sanitary data

There are currently no FDES files available for this procedure. We

remind you that the FDES does not form part of the aptitude test for

this procedure.

Useful additional information

Replacing an uneven panel, caused by reinstallation of panels adjacent to a new panel, is an easy procedure, which will however require a

stock of replacement panels from the beginning of the construction

works.

DANPALON® panel shock resistance performance corresponds to

exposure class Q4, with easily replaceable panels, outlined in the

standard P 08 301. This enables normal use at ground- and first-floor

levels.

By applying the attribution regulations outlined in the “REVETIR

classification for exterior façade thermal insulation systems”, the system is classed as:

r2 e4 V*1to4 E3 T3 I3 R4

V* according to table 1 of the Technical File

2.22 Durability – Maintenance

Tests carried out after 3200 hours (total sunlight received = 10GJ/m²

according to the EN ISO 4892 part 1 and 2) of the Weatherometer and

experiments on the polycarbonate installation have demonstrated that

the protection created by co- extrusion which has received heavy doses

of UV protection could limit yellowing, the reduction of light

transmission and the weakening of the mechanical properties under

good conditions for at least 10 years.

The requirement to not exceed 90°C for polycarbonate panels so that their mechanical performance may be preserved is met in the present

Technical File by the requirement to implement a ventilated air space of

at least 50mm.

This minimum thickness has been calculated after taking into account

the solar energy flow indicated in the CSTB book 3242(1).

Contact between the air present in the cells and the normal outer

atmosphere limits condensation phenomena, and closure at the top and

bottom of the cells by a filter helps prevent dust from entering and the

development of mold.

Organic solvents or abrasive or alkaline materials are to be avoided. Only a water rinse containing a little neutral detergent and squeegee

cleaning are to be used.

2.23 Manufacture

The manufacturing systems implemented by the DANPAL Company and

the self-checks carried out permit a sufficient consistency in terms of

quality.

2.24 Installation

The installation performed by specialized companies requires technical

assistance from the EVERLITE CONCEPT Company, and is accompanied

by a series of precautions to take.

2.3 Technical Recommendation File

2.31 Accepted polycarbonate raw materials system

The polycarbonate raw materials described in § 2 of the Technical File

according to the assembly as defined by the manufacturer composes

one or several polycarbonate systems which enter into the

manufacturing processes of the DANPALON® designed translucent

rainscreen systems.

2.32 Manufacturing conditions

The manufacturer is responsible for performing ongoing quality control

on the DANPALON® sections, of which the results are recorded in a file

which is kept in the factory.

The consistency, effectiveness and conclusions of these in-house

control procedures are regularly checked by the CSTB.

2.33 Design conditions

The DPM (Specific Contract document) must detail wind load and

admitted deflection (see Table 1).

Black surfacing for insulation material is prohibited.

(1)CSTB book 3242 : French local weather - Maximum and minimum temperature calculated.

4 2/13-1552

Fixings

When choosing the fixings used to attach the system to the supporting

structure, you must take into account the wind exposure conditions and

their rupture calculation resistance value applied to the chosen surface.

If using a concrete support packed with granulate or masonry, the

ultimate anchor resistance limit will be calculated according to the ATE

(or if necessary according to the Technical Assessment in the case of

certain chemic masonry seals).

In the event that you do not know the surface’s characteristics, the ultimate anchor resistance limit will be verified by a prior study, in

compliance with the document “On-site determination of the ultimate

resistance limit of a mechanical fixation for rainscreen”

(CSTB books 1661-V2)(1).

Aluminum structure

The aluminum structure will be designed to be freely expandable, in

compliance with the instructions in the document “General regulations

for the design and installation of the metallic structure and thermal

insulation for built-up rainscreen subject to a Technical Assessment”

(CSTB books 3194 and 3586-V2)(2), plus the following:

The coplanar nature of the upright supports must be verified

between adjacent sections, with a maximum permissible gap of

2mm.

The permissible resistance for the relevant vertical load-bearing

mounting brackets corresponds to a load deformation equal to

3mm.

The interaxial between uprights must be 600, 900 or 1040mm

maximum.

The structure, for each site, must be subject to a design report,

established by the installer company, assisted, if necessary, by the EVERLIGHT CONCEPT Company.

Wooden structure

The design and installation of the wooden structure must comply with

the instructions in the document “General regulations for the design

and installation of the wooden structure and thermal insulation for

built-up rainscreen subject to a Technical Assessment” (CSTB book

3316-V2)(3), plus the following:

The coplanar nature of the rafters must be verified between

adjacent sections, with a maximum permissible gap of 2mm.

Wooden rafters with a mechanical resistance corresponding to at

least C19 class according to the standard EN 338, with natural or enhanced durability of usage class 2 according to the FD P 20-651.

At the time of their installation, the wooden rafters and lintels must

have a maximal target humidity of 18%, with a discrepancy

between two components no greater than 4%. The water content

of the components must be calculated according to the method laid

out by the standard EN 13183-2 (with a recent moisture meter).

The flat angle brackets for the fixings must be subject to tests

which take into account a load deformation of no more than 3mm.

The rafter interaxial may be no larger than 600 mm.

2.34 Installation conditions

Layout

The EVERLITE CONCEPT Company will provide to the installer, following

a written request, their technical assistance during the preliminary study and the installation of the structure.

Storage

On site, the piles of stocked DANPALON® panels, even when kept in

their packaging, must be protected from direct exposure to sunlight.

Bottom profile drainage

The bottom profiles are to be drilled on site, or maybe ordered pre-

drilled. The installation company will check that the drainage holes (Ø

10 / 150mm) have been correctly drilled.

Direct installation onto the support

As the structure is fixed directly onto the support, planar defects of this

support (differences in level, bricks jutting out, bumps and other

irregularities) must not exceed 5mm under a 20cm rule, and 10mm

under a 2m rule.

This flatness must be taken into account in the DPM.

Installation in areas of seismic activity

To install DANPALON® panels on a BRV structure, the areas of seismic

activity and the buildings’ size categories require justification. The

specific conditions for installation are laid out in Annex A at the end of

the file.

Conclusions

Overall appraisal:

The use of the DANPALON® BRV procedure in the accepted area of

application has been favorably appraised.

Validity:

Until the 30th of April 2016.

3. Additional comments from the

Specialist Group

The polycarbonate panels installed as built-up ventilated rainscreen

constitute a new category.

No films or membranes may be fixed to the insulation, in order to avoid

any blockage of the air gap.

For satisfactory panel durability in the context of their use in built-up

rainscreen, an air space of at least 50mm on their rear surface is

required.

Given the elasticity of the polycarbonate panels and their attachment to

the connectors, they do not need to be recut when you divide up the

structure pieces.

Although they do expand, the panels may slide one over the other when they are fitted into the same connector, and this permits the use

of single sections along the vertical siding of bay windows which can

hold one side of the panel running across it and the other of those

located flush and on the lintel.

The width of the windows is a multiple of the width of the panels.

This Technical Assessment is subject to annual monitoring of the

DANPALON® panels.

3.44 Brace (see fig. 9)

Made from mill finish or lacquered aluminum (according to the French

standard P 24-351) or stainless steel, it is directly fixed to the lower

point of the aluminum connector using a M6x50 bolt.

This acts as a fixed point (buttress) for the DANPALON® panel and the

ventilation mesh support.

4. Manufacture

The DANPALON® panels are extruded by the DAN PAL company under

ISO 9001 certification in their DAN factory in Israel.

Manufacture is a continuous process and includes the following

operations:

Delivery and storage of the raw material in the form of bags of

granules,

Extrusion,

Any necessary coating,

Co-extrusion on the outer surface (and/or the inner surface,

optional for special requests),

Cooling in the forming machine,

Coating with a protective film on both sides to prevent scratches

during handling,

Lengthwise cutting and shipping/packaging.

5. Manufacture checks and tests

Raw material checks

The raw material, supplied in its original packaging by the BAYER

Company, has been awarded the ISO 9001 certificate, and is subject to

checks upon delivery to the factory.

Each batch is awarded a quality certificate. Also, the following

characteristics are checked:

Resin code Characteristics

Raw material Density

MAKROLON ET 3227 Bayer MFR, LT

UVA 67890 protective layer, Kafrit

Density UV protection

Mid-manufacture and finished product checks and tests

The principle manufacturing self-testing operations are the following:

Extrusion process speed checks,

Samples are taken of the sections every 2 hours,

The samples are subject to visual inspection and measurements to

determine mass, side thickness, panel width and parallelism. The

measurements are taken across different parts of the panel and are

recorded in a register:

Dimension and weight characteristics are checked at least once per

station,

Flatness, transparency, shine for each panel (visual),

Thickness checks on the UV-protection layer at the start of each

manufacturing process and at least once per station.

Insertion test with the U connector at the joint between two panels:

the size is checked using a connector insertion test (polycarbonate

or aluminum) on the DANPALON® panels,

Hard object impact resistance tests,

Thickness checks for the UV-protection layer on the outer surface of

the DANPALON® rainscreen.

6. Identification

DANPALON® panels are subject to CSTB monitoring. They are

identifiable every 50cm by an engraving or a label anchored directly

onto one of the lateral returns, and these include:

The date of manufacture in digits,

The DANPALON® logo,

The UV-protection direction (double chevrons, the points of which

show in which direction the UV protection is oriented).

7. Supplies – Technical Assistance

The EVERLITE CONCEPT Company does not install the panels; they

distribute and deliver DANPALON® panels, the aluminum connectors

and the extruded finishing components for the DANPALON® BRV system

to installer companies.

All other components are directly sourced by the installer, in

compliance with the instructions and conditions in the present Technical

File.

The EVERLITE CONCEPT Company has a technical advice department

and may provide, upon request by the installer, technical assistance

both in terms of project deign and during installation.

8. Area of application

Installation on flat and vertical walls, brand new or in use, on

masonry or concrete located on the ground floor and above.

An incline of 15° either side of the vertical is permitted, but only for

walls without windows and at a slope length of no more than 6m (see fig. 9.2).

Wind exposure corresponds to high or low pressure under normal

wind conditions, with a maximum value according to table 1 of the

Technical File.

Also, installation is possible on soffit, horizontal concrete surfaces,

brand new or in use, but they must be inaccessible (more than 3 m

from ground level) and have no children’s play area nearby.

The panels may be installed on bay window lintels.

The DANPALON BRV® rainscreen system is permitted in areas of

seismic activity.

The instructions to follow for areas of seismic activity are laid out in

Annex A for installation on a metallic structure in the Technical File.

9. Structure and thermal insulation

installation

Thermal insulation

The insulation is installed in compliance with the instructions in the

following documents:

For installation on a wooden structure: “General regulations for the design and installation of the wooden structure and thermal


(CSTB book 3316-V2 (1)).

For installation on a metallic structure: “General regulations for the

design and installation of the metallic structure and thermal


(CSTB books 3194 and 3586-V2 (2)).

Metallic structure

The installation of the metallic structure must be in compliance with the

instructions in the CSTB books 3194 and 3586- V2 (2), with the addition

of the following:

The coplanar nature of the upright supports must be verified

between adjacent sections, with a maximum permissible gap of

2mm.

The permissible resistance for the relevant vertical load-bearing

mounting brackets corresponds to a load deformation equal to

3mm.

The interaxial between uprights must be 1040mm maximum.

Wooden structure

The installation of the wooden structure must be in compliance with the

instructions in the CSTB books 3316- V2 (1), with the addition of the

following:

The coplanar nature of the rafters must be verified between

adjacent sections, with a maximum permissible gap of 2mm.

Wooden rafters with a mechanical resistance corresponding to at

least C19 class according to the standard EN 338, with natural or

enhanced durability of usage class 2 according to the FD P 20-651.

At the time of their installation, the wooden rafters and lintels must

have a maximal target humidity of 18%, with a discrepancy

between two components no greater than 4%. The water content

of the components must be calculated according to the method laid out by the standard EN 13183-2 (with a recent moisture meter).

The permissible vertical load-bearing resistance for the bracket

concerned must correspond to a load deformation equal to 3mm.

10. Installation

10.1 General installation principles

The DANPALON® rainscreen components are delivered to the site, cut to

size and are installed upright (“vertically”), or with an incline of 15° either way for transversal purlins, or as a Support Solution.

The lengths of the panels ordered must take into account the size

differences due especially to expansion (the temperature delta to take

into consideration must correspond to the difference in installation

temperature and the maximum temperature permitted for the panels,

90°C) and the space required for installation.

Installation of the DANPALON® rainscreen components must begin in

accordance to the blueprints made by the installer, whether from right

to left or vice versa, whether based on the center of the construction or

from the front.

Given the elasticity of the polycarbonate panels and their fixing to the

connectors, they do not need to be cut when you are dividing up the

structure.

The bay window width is a multiple of the panel width (the aim of this

is not to have any L-shaped panels).

10.2 Installation on a BRV structure

The connectors are progressively installed with a horizontal spacing of:

601mm (-0/+1) for 600mm panels,

901mm (-0/+1) for 900mm panels,

1041mm (-0/+1) for 1040mm panels.

The loads applied are given in table 1.

In the event that your façade is fitted with bay openings, only the 2AL9 aluminum connector with, if necessary, an added T profile is to be used

(the T isn’t mandatory, it is used when a 6m panel comes into contact

with a smaller component).

The DANPALON® panels with micro-perforated aluminate adhesive tape

on the two end pieces are connected progressively using a rubber

mallet and a wooden peg, taking care to install the UV protection side

outwards. It is crucial that the inner face’s protective film is removed

before the panel is installed.

The fixed points are constructed at the bottom of the panel using transversal screws on the 2AL9 connector or with braces on the 2AL7

connector. The protective film on the outward-facing surface must be

removed.

The system is completed with the installation of the panel closures or

low profiles and by the metal sheet paneling (not supplied by EVERLITE

CONCEPT). On the lower part, at the start of the rainscreen and the

bay lintels, drainage and ventilation holes must be drilled with center to

center of 150mm.

NB: It is necessary to install an anti-rodent mesh on the lower part of the rainscreen, over the air ventilation holes.

10.3 Installation on the Primary Structure

The 2AL4 profile (base connector profile) is fixed using two self-drilling screws with a diameter of 6.3mm (length and type adapted to the

support) onto the primary aluminum structure. A guideline is marked

on it to help you.

The fixing density per support is to be verified according to the

installer’s request and the installation’s permissible rupture resistance.

Manually clip the 2AL5 aluminum section (draining connector profile)

onto the 2AL4 aluminum section.

Installation of the panels and finishing components is identical to the

process described above.

10.4 Air space ventilation

An uninterrupted and unrestricted air space must be positioned

between the outer surface of the insulation and the back of the DANPALON® panels.

This air space must be at least 50mm thick.

Air space ventilation is guaranteed by openings at the base and top of

the structure.

Ventilation sections are to be:

250cm² for rainscreen up to and including 5m in height

500cm² for rainscreen between 5m and 16m in height.

At the base of the rainscreen, the opening is protected by a structural

section with a perforated grid which acts as a rodent barrier. At the closure on the topmost section, the opening is protected by flashing

(see fig. 10).

10.5 Specific points

Figures 10 to 19 constitute a catalog of examples for how to handle

specific points.

10.51 Lateral connections (see fig. 11.3)

Full panels

The DANPALON® rainscreen panels are supported by the superposed

longitudinal structural support, with a seal joint between them. They

are held in place on this support by a continuous or regular holding

section, spaced no further apart than the mounting brackets being

used. The air and water seal is provided by a metallic strip (not

provided by EVERLITE CONCEPT), with a closed cell foam joint

positioned between the strip and the panel or by using the single-rib

extruded edge profile.

Cut panels

This edge is held in place using bent metallic components (not supplied by EVERLITE CONCEPT) positioned across the entire height or by using

the double-ribbed extruded aluminum profile. The connecting seal is

guaranteed by the insertion of 9 x 3 closed cell foam joints on the inner

and outer surfaces.

10.52 Corner treatment

Normal corners (see fig. 14.1)

The corner is made using a flashing metal component (not supplied by

EVERLITE CONCEPT).

Extruded aluminum DANPALON® corners (see fig. 14.2)

The corner is composed of two extruded aluminum components: a

support component and a cover. The support component provides a

support behind the DANPALON® Rainscreen panels. A rib in the central

channel enables you to connect the cover and tighten the panels. All of

this may be locked using a counter-panel positioned above. The seal is maintained by using a 10 x 1 TRAMOUT joint from TRAMICO in the

spaces provided for this purpose. The resulting structure is attached to

the building structure using mounting brackets (not provided by

EVERLITE CONCEPT).

10.53 Structure expansion joint (see fig. 13)

It is crucial that the structural expansion joints be set into, using the

same dimensions and the same vertical line, the DANPALON®

polycarbonate rainscreen.

This specific point must be carried out as represented in figures 26.1

and 26.2, with breaks in the continuity of the DANPALON® system

façade.

Expansion chambers with identical values to those of the primary structure must be created using specially shaped metallic components

including:

60mm supports running underneath the DANPALON® panels,

Shaped metallic profiles forming hoods with a width adapted to the

expansion values to ensure air and water impermeability. These

are not supplied by EVERLITE CONCEPT.

11. Soffite installation

Using DANPALON® panels as a soffite requires some special

considerations.

The undersides of lintels on a reduced depth of a single panel are not

covered by these instructions.

Structure

The permissible “vertical load-bearing” resistance of the mounting

bracket must correspond to a load deformation equal to 1mm.

The structure is sized according to the combinations of loads (normal

wind strength according to wind load standard, expressed in Pa and the

weight of the panels themselves per m², between 16 and 35 Pa

depending on the panel thickness).

Connection to the rainscreen

Underside ventilation using open joints and ventilation tracts at the

outer edges of the construction.

12. Maintenance and repair

12.1 Maintenance

The outer and inner surfaces of the DANPALON® rainscreen components

may, if necessary, by washed with a clear soap solution.

Do not use alkaline soaps or solvents.

2/13-1552 9

12.2 Panel replacement

The replacement of a worn component may be performed by unclipping

the connectors and/or panels and removal of the transversal fixing

screws.

The panel to be replaced is cut through the center and the panel is

remover by applying transversal flexing. As a variant, it is possible to

cut the captive raised ribs in the connectors using an adapted tool.
