Innovation
At Kingspan we believe that by driving innovation we can provide products and services which lead to more cost effective, sustainable and safer construction methods.
One example is our Pre-painted Colour Coated Systems:
Our series of pre-painted colour coated systems provide guaranteed durability for roof and wall panel systems in a wide range of applications and environments.
The multi-layered Kingspan XL Forté™ exterior coating offers excellent cut edge protection and resistance to corrosion, chemical attack, ultra-violet light and abrasion.
Kingspan XL Forté™ coating guarantee is available for panels for up to 30 years to first maintenance with an overall life expectancy of 40 years or more.
Another is our PV solar energy solutions.
We have developed a system which makes mounting solar PV panels easy and quick, turning an industrial roof into a valuable energy production space.
Our own factory in Holywell, North Wales has one of the largest solar PV arrays in the country and provides 317.000 kWh of power p/annum or 3-4% of the factory’s power. As well as solar, the Holywell site uses solar thermal hot water and wind power and we are investigating a large scale wind turbine. We are aiming for the site to be at net-zero energy within two years.
