Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)

Kingspan TEK Building System

High performance structural insulated panels

The Kingspan TEK Building System comprises 142 mm or 172 mm thick structural insulated panels (SIPs) with a high performance fibre-free rigid urethane insulation core, sandwiched between two layers of Oriented Strand Board type 3 (OSB/3).

It is used to construct walls and roofs, and intermediate floors using I-beams or open web joists.

Kingspan TEK Building System

During manufacture, the insulation core of the TEK Building System panels is autohesively bonded to the OSB/3 facings. This process provides more reliable and superior adhesion than the secondary bonding process used in the manufacture of most other SIPS.

The Kingspan TEK Building System leaves ample scope for individual design. The panels are pre-cut and manufactured offsite to match a project’s engineering and design specifications, and a complete kit is delivered to site ready for erection. It can be used to create the walls (loadbearing and non-loadbearing) and roofs of a complete building.
