Kingspan roof systems can reduce time-to-finishing roofing projects considerably, thanks to accelerated build speed. They are pre-engineered for singlecomponent/ single-fix installation, which reduces site time by as much as 50%. Despite this easy construction formula, the result is a high-quality finish.

A Kingspan roof offers 100% reliable thermal performance and insulation continuity. It’s tight as a drum, with no cavities, no gaps, no cold bridges or interstitial condensation risk. Kingspan’s roof panel is twice as thermally efficient as polystyrene (EPS) or mineral fibre systems. In fact, KS 60 mm roof panel achieves an R value greater than 3.2, as required under the new Part J energy provisions of the BCA. They are also highly durable, with overall life cycle expectancy of up to 40 years. The Kingspan roofing range includes Trapezoidal, Secret Fix, Tile Support, and Lo-Pitch roofing systems. But what about the hot issues of the day: energy and greenhouse gas emissions? Kingspan’s energy-efficient design and performance can reduce lifetime operating costs by up to 40%. Lifetime carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are reduced by up to 40%.

Kingspan roof and wall systems feature contemporary lines and finishes. They employ secret-fix technology, which provides uninterrupted surfaces and visual simplicity. They offer flexible and reliable performance. Kingspan components prove that preformed materials can also be highly aesthetic. Designers can choose from a wide variety of colours and finishes to make a strong personal statement. Insulation, fire performance, acoustics and easy installation are automatically included in a Kingspan system. Less time is needed thinking about mundane issues and more time can be devoted to the visual effect sought.
