DAKO is a family-owned business with a more than twenty year history of operating in the field of production of concrete prefabricated components.

We have developed, and are continuously improving, our GRC material which allows us to supply high-quality facade components and other products, from architectonic facade accessories through original interior components up to large capacity flowerpots.

Tensile bending strength (MOR) > 18 MPa | Tensile bending strength (MOR) > 7 MPa 
Mass density > 1,950 kg∙m3 | Frost resistance coefficient T150 > 0.99 | Absorbability < 7 %

We are proud to be able to maintain quality of detail, colour and material transitions even with large volumes. And that is exactly why investors like to come back to us. We are constantly developing, and working on expanding our product sales worldwide. We are a member of the GRCA association.

DAKO SMART 

The DAKO SMART anchoring system of glassfibre reinforced concrete facades is based on the principle of integrating supporting parts directly into the panels during their production. The method of attaching the supporting frame to the glassfibre reinforced concrete part allows the panel to move during its reshaping due to external conditions. The use of DAKO SMART anchoring system brings many shape options in the design, as well as advantages in the subsequent realization. Therefore, the final shape of the facade is given only by the facade panels, which is beneficial particularly when designing a complicated architecture.

The integrated supporting frame ensures the rigidity of GRC panels in their entire area. It is, therefore, possible to produce parts larger than 3.5 m2 which can be easily manipulated with machines and then attached to a facade, without the risk of damage. Only a small telescopic crane is needed to handle the facade panels with a frame, and they can be installed with a significantly smaller number of workers than in the case of manual installation of otherwise anchored panels. The rectification system of the entire set will enable to attach the large-format panels accurately, even in the event of certain inaccuracies that occur on the construction site. Compared to other methods of panel anchoring, the combination of large formats, and quick installation is an economically advantageous solution for many projects, too.

The STUD-FRAME system is a variant of Smart anchoring where the integrated support enables anchoring of large-format parts, as well as of those more complex in form, without the need to install other subdesigns. The frame is spatially adapted to the shape of facade panels, and its rear part is parallel to the supporting structure of the building.

DAKO STANDARD

Concealed and exposed mechanical fixing is a fundamental anchoring method, mainly suitable for realizing facades of smaller cladding panels of simple shapes up to 3.5 m2 in size and up to 80 kg in weight. These limits arise due to manual handling and installing parts on the construction site.

Concealed mechanical anchoring is based on the technology using a system of hidden clips and screw anchors installed at the back side of a facade panel. An element is then fixed to a horizontal part of the supporting grate, its position at the facade is regulated by means of adjustment screws. In the last phase, the cladding is secured against shifting.

Exposed mechanical anchoring utilizes color matched screws/rivets at a regular spacing to attach facade panels to a thermally broken sub-structure.
