Kingspan Insulated Panels marks 25 years of LPCB and FM Approvals system testing

Underpinned by globally recognised, large-scale system testing regimes developed and approved by the insurance industry, this certification provides objective third party testing and ongoing surveillance of the fire performance of the company’s insulated panel systems.

Over the last 25 years, a range of independently investigated real building fires have stood testament to the in-use performance of Kingspan’s insurer-approved PIR core panels and the relevance of these large-scale tests to actual building situations.

Now, with the development of Kingspan QuadCore technology, the next generation of high-performance closed cell insulated panel systems is pushing fire performance even further, achieving additional certification related to low smoke emissions and improved performance in fire resistance testing.

As part of its ongoing commitment to fire safety and product development, Kingspan has recently invested in a state-of-the-art global facility dedicated to fire engineering research. Offering a comprehensive resource of fire science equipment and expertise, the mission is to advance knowledge and understanding of how building materials, products and complete systems perform when subjected to fire.

Based in North Wales, the facility welcomes research partnerships and collaboration from across industry and academia.
