The Kingspan TEKBuilding System is providing
a precise offsite building solution for one of the
country’s largest Passivhaus developments in
Bowthorpe, Norwich. After reviewing the market
offering to achieve the demanding fabric
requirements, it was concluded that the Kingspan TEK Building
System was the best solution for the project on the basis of technical
specification and value offered. Kingspan TEK Building System panels
can achieve U-values of 0.20 – 0.17 W/m^2 .K, or better ‘out of the box’.
With an additional layer of insulation, the site team were able to further
improve the thermal performance of the external walls.

The Kingspan OPTIM-R Flooring
System has been installed as part of the
£1bn refurbishment of London Bridge
Station. The system was specified in two
retail units due to its optimal thermal
performance. This allowed the floor
construction depth to be minimised,
providing an even transition for shoppers
entering from the concourse. With an insulation performance up to
five times that of commonly used insulation materials, Kingspan
OPTIM-R vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) provided a clear solution.
