Kingspan TEK offers outstanding returns
A new study from Sweett Group has demonstrated that by specifying the
Kingspan TEK Cladding Panel over traditional steel frame wall systems, it is
possible to reduce wall thicknesses and increase usable space within commercial
properties, leading to an ROI of over 1000% on the cost of the panels.
The ‘Real Value of Space’ research was commissioned by Kingspan Insulation. The
summary and full report are available to download for free on the Kingspan TEK
website.
Sweett Group’s research considers two external wall scenarios and compares a
Kingspan TEK Cladding Panel (a high performance SIP) construction with two
metal stud wall constructions insulated with mineral fibre and rock mineral fibre.
The resulting figures revealed that, when specifying the Kingspan TEK Cladding
Panel, 88% of the buildings had a positive ROI; 31% of the database buildings had
between 300% and 1000% positive ROI, with 9% in excess of 1000% ROI.

An alternative to old
asbestos roofs
Following its refurbishment, Gorsgoch village
hall now benefits from Cembrit B5, the
versatile and aesthetically pleasing, modern
fibre cement corrugated sheets, which have
replaced the old narrow asbestos cement
corrugated sheeting. The material has been
used to transform the 60 year old village hall
and improve the roof’s performance through
its superior water shedding capacity.
Natural grey coated B5 corrugated sheets
have provided a spectacular finish that
blends in well with the countryside setting,
and a Plain Wing Angle Ridge was installed to
provide sufficient ventilation.
The rust- and rot-free B5 Corrugated Sheet
is the perfect solution for someone looking
to clad or repair single-story buildings such
as stables and garages. B5 is available in
fourteen different lengths ranging from 4' to
10' 6", and the sheets are approximately 40%
wider than traditional 3" profile which allows
for much better coverage per sheet.
They also offer superior water shedding
capacity due to the profile of its
corrugations.

Kingspan to launch additional lower lambda products
The future path to energy efficient buildings will be
revealed on 1st August when leading manufacturer
Kingspan Insulation launches four advanced, low
lambda insulation products for floors, walls and soffits.
Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard, K110 and K110
PLUS Soffit Board, and K118 Insulated Plasterboard
feature an advanced, fibre-free insulation core,
enabling them to achieve an outstanding thermal
conductivity of 0.018 W/m.K. As a result, the products
can facilitate buildings to be built to the upper levels
of fabric performance with minimal thickness.
The launch of the new products follows the huge success of Kingspan Kooltherm K106 and K108
Cavity Board which were released earlier in the year. This new range of products should help
specifiers and contractors to meet the increasing demand for more energy efficient buildings
without reducing useable space in either domestic or non-domestic applications. The insulation
boards are non-deleterious, easy to handle and install, and are unaffected by air infiltration.
