By sector

With over 40 years of experience and knowledge, Kingspan are a major provider of Insulated Panels and Facades systems to the national and international players within this sector.

Kingspan's innovative, high performance insulated roof & wall panels, rainscreen façades, roof and wall daylighting systems, insulation and renewable energy systems provide optimised, energy-saving, low carbon (CO₂), future-proofed buildings. The combination of sustainable, envelope and fabric insulation systems with integrated renewable technologies, offers property owners and investors a choice of future-proofed investment options, ranging from current Building Regulation compliance through to environment-protecting low/zero carbon buildings.

Additionally Kingspan manufactures a complete range of specialist building architectural trims, flashings and pre-formed panel accessories which integrates with our roof, wall and facade systems. All Kingspan systems are factory manufactured to provide superior build quality with rapid and safer on-site assembly, thereby allowing earlier project handover and income stream.

Environmentally sustainable buildings

Cradle to cradle - Kingspan systems significantly contribute to achieving green and sustainability points/credits for environmentally sustainable buildings, from design through to deconstruction (end of life).

The Kingspan portfolio of systems is compliant with the highest rating classifications published by the Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. ^TM

1. Embodied energy is the quantity of energy required to manufacture, and supply to the point of use, a product, material or service.
2. Operational energy refers to all energy required to run a building, i.e., energy use for fixed building services including heating, hot water, lighting, pumps and fans and all other appliances.
3. Deconstruction is the selective dismantlement of building components, specifically for re-use, recycling, and waste management.

Delivering low energy, low carbon buildings today

The focus of today’s governments, property owners, designers and constructors is to build environmentally sustainable buildings. Improving the thermal performance of the insulated panels and facades is the easiest, most immediate and cost-effective way to reduce running energy costs and carbon emissions. Kingspan have the capability to deliver Insulated Panels and Facades, including building integrated renewable power and heat technologies that exceed existing and meet future ‘zero-carbon’ legislative requirements, across global markets.

The chart below shows indicative future energy and carbon emission targets over and above current building codes, to zero-carbon.
