Established in the marketplace for over 30 years, the KS1000 RW trapezoidal insulated roof and wall panel from Kingspan Insulated Panels is still providing thermally efficient building envelopes for new build and refurbishment projects throughout the UK and across the globe. It is a testament to the aesthetics and performance of the panel that in such a competitive and demanding environment it is still the top selling composite solution available today.

The versatility of KS1000 RW in both roof and wall applications has led to its selection on a wide variety of construction projects, ranging from large scale distribution warehouses and industrial units, to schools and hospitals.

One of the principal advantages of the product - and key to its popularity - is fast track construction capability. The KS1000 RW pre-engineered, single-fix, single component system can reduce installation times by up to 50% compared with traditional site assembled systems, leading to cost savings and the quicker onset of dependent work.

With the recent changes in responsibility for site health and safety, attention has been focused on the safety performance of building materials. Conforming to HSE and CDM standards, when installed as roofing KS1000RW provides an instant and safe walkable surface for those working at height. What’s more, the lightweight composition of RW reduces manual handling risks, whilst fall and arrest systems are easily incorporated. The trapezoidal system is suitable for use with mechanical handling equipment, further increasing build speeds and reducing the need to manually handle panels into position.

Recent years have also seen debate over the fire safety and related insurance costs of certain roofing and cladding materials. Only high-performance PIR insulation is used for KS1000 RW, and the system is both certified by the Loss Prevention Certificate Board to LPS 1181 and Factory Mutual approved, providing a stringent and independent assurance of performance in the instance of fire.

Manufactured with a BRE Green Guide to Specification ‘A’ rated ECOsafe core, KS1000 RW offers the potential for completely cost neutral disposal at end of life as well as the benefits of high levels of energy efficiency over the lifetime of the building.

Customers have the peace of mind that only a BBA approved product established in the marketplace for over 30 years can afford, backed by the Kingspan TOTAL Guarantee, which covers all of the key performance areas for up to 25 years and the coating for up to 30 years in a single comprehensive package.
