Kingspan manufactures a wide range of insurer approved 
insulated roof, wall & façade panels and insulation boards capable of delivering a high performance system to achieve the optimum level of fire safety performance when used as part of a fire engineered solution. Kingspan promotes the principles of holistic fire risk assessment to deliver buildings with minimal risk associated with the building fabric. Examples of the factors that need to be taken into account, particularly from an insurance industry perspective are listed below.
The following is a broad summary of the aspects of fire engineering that require consideration:
Occupancy
Usage and manufacturing processes involved:
- fire load arising from the occupancy, e.g. type of goods stored and storage heights proposed
- premises layout, e.g. proximity of production storage
Hazardous processes
- critical business process, equipment and / or components and stock, e.g. electronic equipment, high value components, etc
Estimated values at risk
Buildings
- contents excluding stock
- stock
- business interruption exposure
Surroundings
exposure from other premises
- type of area, e.g. residential, industrial
Fire protection
- distance from the nearest public fire brigade
- availability of adequate water supplies for firefighting
- fire detection/protection systems required to augment passive fire protection
