SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND TESTINGThe easiest, fastest and most cost-effective strategy to reduce energy demand and construction costs is to utilise the high thermal performance and superior airtightness benefi ts of BENCHMARK By Kingspan systems.

BENCHMARK By Kingspan Designwall panels have been extensively tested for compliance with various industry standards and building safety codes.

BENCHMARK By Kingspan insulation cores provide superior thermal performance with tested U-values.

BENCHMARK By Kingspan Façade Systems are available with a ThermalSafe IPN insulation core that achieves a outstanding thermal conductivity of λ ≤ 0.020 W/mK, according to EN 13165 – Thermal insulation products for buildings – Factory made rigid polyurethane (PUR) products.

One of the biggest sources of building heat loss (or heat gain) is air leakage, i.e., ‘leaky buildings’. BENCHMARK By Kingspan panels are rigorously tested to national requirements to ensure that they remain both airtight and weathertight over the lifecycle of a building.

Panel joints have been tested for air penetration in accordance with national requirements.

BENCHMARK By Kingspan insulated panels consist of two metal faces positioned on either side of a core that is a thermally insulating material, offering a shear rigid composite section.

The panels comply with EN 14509 – Self-supporting double skin metal faced insulating panels – Factory made products – Specifications. In addition to this, national application and system approvals are available.

IMPROVED U-VALUE WEATHERTIGHTNESS STRUCTURAL

BENCHMARK PERFORMANCE & TESTING
