Insulated Roof & Wall Panels

Kingspan systems are manufactured to provide superior build quality with rapid and safer on-site
assembly. For additional safety, Kingspan has a range of safety systems that provide fall protection
solutions for new build, refurbishment and retrofit projects.
Kingspan is a leader in insulated roof and wall systems for industrial, distribution, commercial, leisure, healthcare, education, business and technology parks
and retail buildings. All products are available with a comprehensive guarantee which covers thermal, structural and coating performance.

Thermal Performance
Kingspan panels insulating core
guarantees a superior thermal
performance in hot and cold
climates. It is fitted to the exterior
of the building and creates a
thermal skin that reduces internal
temperature loss and provides a
thermal shield against external
temperatures. The closed cellular
structure of the insulation provides
zero moisture ingress with no air
infiltration. This guarantees lifetime
thermal reliability, without ageing
or degradation.

Integrated Solar Solutions

Kingspan PowerPanel RM is a versatile solar photovoltaic (PV) system
that is suitable for pitched and flat roof applications on new build or
refurbishment projects.
The development of sources of renewable energy is a crucial part of the strategy to improve energy efficiency and cut
carbon emissions, but for these to work they must also be economically viable.
Initiatives such as the Feed-in Tariff present opportunities to move renewable energy out of the niche and into the built
environment in readiness to meet targets for energy efficient buildings and carbon reduction.

Kingspan insulated roof panels with crystalline modules
fixed directly to the crowns.

EnergiPanel Solar Air Heating System

Kingspan EnergiPanel is an innovative insulated solar air heating system designed
for roof and wall applications as a supplement to the main heating system.

One of the key aspects for the success of

renewable energy sources will be the ease with
which they can be incorporated into buildings.
Kingspan has a number of solutions which meet
this criterion.
