The fully assembled system is free-floating. Every component is free to  thermally expand or contract at its own rate, eliminating oil canning and delamination difficulties and allowing the material to retain structural properties over the life of the life of the skylight. Structural movement is absorbed within the flexible nature of the system, making skinning directly to steel or wood structures possible.

The entire assembly uses no caulking or adhesives, eliminating the difficulty of sealant and adhesive bond failure common in traditional systems. The Danpalon system connection and weather seal is mechanical, dry, and 100% effective.
