Best Commercial Insulation Products - Kingspan

Uncompressable Kingspan InsulationKingspan- the best commercial insulation products manufacturer

One company is leading the way with innovative technology and products through things like ISP's(insulated metal panels), thermal insulation board, sealed ducting systems, insulated roof panels and even PV systems.  The best is by far Kingspan.

New construction or retrofit insulation panels, wall systems and products can save you lots of money or energy cost over the long term.  Occasionally they even pay for themselves upfront.  The green revolution is here and it's not going anywhere.  

Sustainability - This key goal in new building design has driven the rapid adoption of building with efficient systems and products.  The building's of tomorrow and some of today even can basically support themselves.  A NetZero approach has taken place, while some companies have shunned the idea as crazy or unachievable Kingspan has embraced it.

Focusing on the building envelope through Kingspans EnvelopeFirst.

Insulated Metal Wall Panels Kingspan
In developing a system around the building envelope being the core Kingspan has created a first step to true NetZero design standards across the world.

What is the building envelope?  This isn't too hard to understand it is the inner part of the outershell of a building, think of it as the space you are heating or cooling.  An undefined building envelope is a prime source of energy loss.  Air and heat will migrate to any flaw in the building envelope.  A common example of this is windows.  Another would be an insulation gap in the attic or roofing area of a structure.  Creating an air barrier can also be extremely beneficial.

The primary component of the building shell from Kingspan inspired building is the IMP or insulated metal panels.  There are a great deal of advantages to building with IMPS.
  • Continous Air barrier
  • Consistent R-Value, eliminate thermal barrier weak points
  • Durable and Long lasting
  • Easy installation and construction practices
  • Made of partially recycled material and recyclable

Kingspan Insulated Metal Roofing Panels integral energy efficient design

The primary source of heat loss or unwelcome heat gain in other climates is deficiencies in the roofing structure.  Not structural deficiencies, but ones that contribute to a breach in the building envelope.

For warm climates:  Metal Roof systems can get extremely hot with the sun beating down all day, that heat will radiate to the interior of the structure if not kept in check by either an efficient design or secondary systems of heat repulsion.

For colder climates:  Simply put every elementary school student learns that heat rises and if we are artificially generating heat through and HVAC system resources are limited.  Again we have two choices integrate the design of the primary roof covering to reduce or eliminate the loss or install secondary system such as radiant barrier, insulation etc...

As a one piece system integrating a state of the art metal panel with rigid foam board and a zip locking system insulated metal roofing panels are the obvious choice.  Although the product itself has an increased price tag over sheet good type systems, there are many advantages.
  • One piece system results in reduced labor time and expenses
  • Shielded insulation does not degrade with time
  • Located outside the building envelope
  • Increase interior usable space
  • Options available for use on vertical applications for siding

Kick it up a notch with PV Panels from Kingspan

Solar Panels can make your building recoup energy from the sun. Mounted on the standing seam roof with exceptional R Values they are an added component that can pay off long term.  With a polyisocyanurate core and R Values up to 48 the PowerPanel from Kingspan may be the green energy solution your business needs.
