We are the invisible comfort.

Our history dates back 60 years. Back then, Spain had just began a gradual modernisation and opening to the outside world and Manuel del RĂ­o Dominguez, a young entrepreneurial chemist, wanted to be an active part of this new Spain that was taking shape on the horizon.

He knew that neither the cold nor the wind nor the rain could stop him. This is how Danosa was born, with its full name, Normalized Asphalt Derivatives, in 1964, offering innovative solutions in the construction sector. Three pillars supported him: knowledge, courage, and enthusiasm.

Society increasingly demands a higher quality in buildings. This directly affects their structural safety and fire protection, but there are other aspects linked to people’s well-being, such as protection against noise, thermal comfort, or accessibility for people with reduced mobility. In any case, the building process, due to its direct impact on the configuration of spaces, always implies a commitment to functionality, economy, harmony, and environmental balance.

We promote a new construction model

DANOSA is a manufacturer of a wide range of products aimed at covering different technical requirements in buildings such as watertightness, thermal and acoustic insulation, energy-saving, and fire safety.
In addition, the evaluation of the sustainable use of resources and the environmental impact of construction works are part of the criteria that drive the development of new products and the design of new construction systems for both new construction and rehabilitation.

“We give answers and solutions from innovation and knowledge”

DANOSA proposes different systems to ensure watertightness, thermal insulation of building envelopes as well as acoustic insulation of interior spaces and, if necessary, correct natural lighting and fire protection as a result of the experience of more than 50 years in the sector on 5 continents.

DANOSA products and systems are certified and technically endorsed by different recognized European organizations, through the Harmonized European Standards (CE marking) and the European Technical Suitability Assessments (ETE), complying with the quality standards accepted throughout the European Union, for the tranquility and security of all building agents.

Waterproofing

Our waterproofing systems comply with the protection function against the humidity, limiting the foreseeable risk of the inadequate presence of water or moisture inside buildings and in their enclosures.

Noise protection

Our insulation products will help the construction elements that make up the interior enclosures of buildings to have good acoustic characteristics to reduce airborne noise and impact noise transmission.

Energy saving

Our goal is to achieve a rational use of the necessary energy in buildings, reducing its consumption to sustainable limits, both in new construction and in rehabilitation, to achieve adequate living conditions for comfortable and healthy use of the home or building.

Drains

The DANODREN product range includes all manufactured high-density polyethylene (HDPE) nodular sheets. Within the product range, the PLUS sheets that incorporate a polypropylene geotextile and the R-20 sheets for green roofs that allow water retention stand out.

Our Chosen Charity

The Rosemary Foundation is our chosen charity to support. For 25 years they have been offering hospice at home services, completely free of charge. They receive no funding from the government and rely solely on donations. This foundation is held very close to the heart by one of our team here at Danosa UK.
