Controlled environments often present potential fire hazards, particularly when used in food processing plants.  There has been a series of catastrophic cold store fires worldwide which has brought into question the credentials of construction materials. In any building where there are hot processes, choosing an appropriate insulated panel for the building construction is important to give peace of mind to building owners and insurers.

Kingspan designed and developed their insulated panel system for the construction of cool rooms and controlled environments with safety and business protection in mind. All Kingspan controlled environment panels are manufactured using FM Approved PIR Insulation cores meaning they have undergone rigorous fire testing. Unlike conventional panel core materials, Firesafe PIR cores do not propagate fire; it is this insulating material that has reduced the incidence of disastrous fires in buildings across the world.
