Kingspan’s CodeMark-certified and insurer-approved trapezoidal insulated roof panels (KS1000 RW) provide a simple single piece warm roofing solution with panel thicknesses and R-values ranging from R2.39 (40mm) to R6.53 (120mm). They can be used to provide a high-performance warm roof as per Ministry of Education requirements. Additionally, choosing a roof panel that combines insulation with steel roofing as a single component system simplifies construction and significantly speeds up build time.

When there are additional acoustic requirements, this is easily achieved by adding an acoustic treatment at the ceiling level, ensuring the continued build-speed from using a single component roofing system. For further information on the available tested solutions, please contact Kingspan.

With a wide range of suitable products, Kingspan Insulated Panels has been involved in many education projects throughout New Zealand. Kingspan panels were utilised on the Public Private Partnership 2 (PPP2) projects and are the product of choice to provide high levels of thermal performance, simplified and faster construction and, when required, our Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) assist the new builds to achieve Green Star compliance.

Kingspan’s Trapezoidal KS1000 RW roof and wall panels were used extensively on the new block of classrooms at Westmere School|Te Rehu because of the industry’s growing awareness of a building’s internal moisture levels and the speed of installation that Kingspan panels provided. Read about how Westmere School solved this problem with Kingspan’s insulated panels.

Kingspan’s trapezoidal roofing and wall panel systems were also selected as being the best products for use on the ACG School and Gym project in Tauranga and include Kingspan’s unique FIREsafe PIR insulation core to provide high thermal performance, insulation continuity, minimal air leakage and the elimination of interstitial cavity condensation and cold bridging.

Kingspan’s insulated panels are a one stop solution for meeting building thermal regulations and come in a range of core thicknesses, colours and coatings to meet most design and performance requirements. They are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards from the highest quality materials, using state-of-the art production equipment to rigorous quality control standards, ensuring long term reliability and service life.
