Dalton Building Enclosures has introduced a comprehensive suite of services for architectural panel fabrication, engineering, and installation, targeting a diverse range of construction projects including commercial, industrial, institutional, retail, and government sectors. The Ohio-based company collaborates with architects, engineers, general contractors, developers, and building owners to develop exterior building systems that incorporate aluminum composite metal panels, Reynobond systems, metal roofing, wall cladding, and custom trims.
These services encompass several stages of construction, from design coordination and preparation of shop drawings to manufacturing, delivery, and installation. Dalton emphasizes the integration of architectural design with the practical needs of building enclosure construction, offering customized metal and composite components tailored to specific dimensions, material requirements, finishes, and installation details. Their product offerings include composite panels, metal plate panels, metal siding, metal roofing, soffit systems, gutters, downspouts, custom flashings, and trims, all of which can be coordinated within a broader exterior package when multiple systems are required.
Aluminum composite metal panels, one of the systems supported by Dalton, offer a lightweight cladding option with smooth finishes and flexibility in design. These panels are suitable for various applications, including commercial façades, retail entrances, and institutional buildings, among others. The company provides fabrication and installation services based on project specifications, with panel selection guided by design, finish, attachment method, environmental exposure, and building codes.
For Reynobond aluminum composite panel systems, Dalton offers multiple assembly options such as caulk, extrusion, and gasket systems, chosen based on panel layouts, joint details, and installation requirements. The company highlights the importance of considering panel dimensions, alignment with windows and doors, support structures, fasteners, joint treatments, finishes, and transitions to adjacent materials. They stress that the performance of a façade relies on the entire assembly, including the panels, attachments, joints, and supporting structure, rather than solely on the panel product itself.
In addition to fabrication and installation, Dalton provides engineering support and shop drawing preparation, reviewing architectural plans and specifications to prepare drawings that detail component dimensions, panel arrangements, and fabrication details. This process helps identify coordination requirements around openings and transitions before production begins. The company’s fabrication facility in Bedford Heights, Ohio, is equipped with computerized shears, brakes, folders, routing equipment, and machinery capable of handling custom fabrication lengths of up to 16 feet.
Dalton also addresses key considerations in building enclosure projects like water management, insulation coordination, thermal performance, moisture control, structural support, fire safety, and material compatibility. For the Reynobond systems, they offer different solutions, such as using backer rods and sealants for caulk joints, aluminum extrusions and spline pieces for extrusion systems, and perimeter flashing with continuous silicone gaskets for gasket systems. The suitability of each approach is determined by the specific system, joint design, movement requirements, and project conditions.
