Danpalon Multicell: How to Choose the Right Thickness?



Choosing the right Danpalon Multicell thickness is an important factor when designing translucent roofing, translucent walls, and building façades. Each thickness is suited to different applications and project requirements, depending on factors such as supporting structure spacing, structural strength, span requirements, and architectural design.


Danpalon® Multicell is a translucent polycarbonate panel system that can be applied to a wide range of architectural applications. It is available in four thicknesses: 8, 10, 12, and 16 mm. So, which thickness is right for your project? Let’s take a closer look.



Danpalon Multicell 8 mm

Danpalon Multicell 8 mm is suitable for translucent roofing applications with appropriate supporting structure spacing. Its lightweight construction makes it a practical choice for projects designed to bring natural daylight into interior spaces.

It can be applied to various roofing applications where a bright, open atmosphere is desired. The supporting structure and spacing should be designed according to the installation system and specific requirements of each project.


Danpalon Multicell 10 mm

Danpalon Multicell 10 mm is suitable for translucent roofing and can also be applied to translucent wall and façade applications.

The increased thickness provides greater design flexibility, particularly for projects where structural strength and support spacing need to be considered, making it a versatile option for a variety of architectural applications.


Danpalon Multicell 12 mm

For projects requiring both roofing and façade applications, Danpalon Multicell 12 mm is an option for designs that require greater structural strength and longer span capabilities.

It provides architects and designers with greater flexibility to create continuous translucent surfaces while reducing structural design limitations and enhancing the architectural character of the building.


Danpalon Multicell 16 mm

Danpalon Multicell 16 mm is suitable for translucent roofing and façade applications that require higher performance, greater structural strength, and longer span capabilities.

It is well suited to architectural projects that demand greater design freedom for large translucent surfaces, combining material performance with distinctive architectural aesthetics.



Choosing the Right Danpalon Thickness for Your Project


Choosing the right Danpalon Multicell panel should not be based on thickness alone. The panel thickness should correspond with the intended application and structural requirements of the project, as the appropriate selection can contribute to structural strength, span capability, overall performance, and architectural aesthetics.


The appropriate Danpalon thickness and span depend on several factors, including the installation system, supporting structure spacing, wind loads, project dimensions, and specific site conditions. Technical requirements should therefore be carefully reviewed before selecting the panel thickness.


Whether you are designing translucent roofing, translucent walls, or a Danpalon façade, selecting the appropriate panel thickness from the beginning helps ensure that the material and supporting structure work efficiently together while achieving the intended architectural design.
