When it comes to tackling large-scale architectural projects, the right materials make all the difference. Kingspan BENCHMARK’s QuadCore® Designwall 4000 is the go-to insulated metal panel (IMP) solution for architects seeking design flexibility, thermal efficiency and durability in commercial, institutional, healthcare or civic applications.
The Designwall 4000 boasts a host of advanced features, including:
● Transverse Bends and Trimless Ends: Finishing options that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building but also streamlines the installation process.
● Exceptional Thermal Performance: Available in thicknesses up to 4” thick and using Kingspan’s advanced QuadCore insulation that offers R-values up to 8.0 per inch, these panels offer superior, continuous insulation, ensuring excellent thermal efficiency.
● Versatile Installation: The Designwall 4000 can be installed both horizontally or vertically, offering architects flexibility in their design visions.
● Aesthetic Options: The Designwall R Series, with its bold, ribbed profile, can be seamlessly integrated with the Designwall 4000 for a striking visual impact.
● GREENGUARD Gold Certified: This certification ensures that the panels meet rigorous health standards for occupants.
● C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ Silver: Certified not to contain any Banned List chemicals above the relevant thresholds, including halogenated flame retardants (HFRs).
● Site-Specific and Thickness-Specific EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations): Empowering architects to optimize the embodied carbon of their projects.
With Designwall, projects become a piece of art, designing any way you choose. Additional design options include longitudinal bends, varying panel sizes, reveals, radiuses and corners and a block spline joint that enables uninterrupted visual flow across vertical joints.
Designwall 4000 in Action
Here are two prime examples where Designwall 4000 has been put to use, showcasing its versatility and performance across different project types:
Lenexa Old Town Activity Center in Lenexa, Kansas
In the heart of Lenexa, Kansas, the Lenexa Old Town Activity Center underwent a major renovation and expansion, with Kingspan’s Designwall 4000 panels playing a key role. Installed in a sophisticated Champagne Bronze color and integrated with BENCHMARK’s Designwall R Series, these panels helped to create a sleek and modern look for the building. The Designwall 4000’s ability to meet thermal performance standards while enhancing the visual impact of the building was crucial to achieving the design goals of this public space.
Opening its doors to the public in summer 2025, the upgraded Lenexa Old Town Activity Center is a shining example of how innovative building materials like Kingspan’s IMPs can create spaces that strengthen community connections.
Stephens Indoor Practice Facility at the University of Missouri
The University of Missouri's Stephens Indoor Practice Facility, used for training by the university’s sports teams, is a prime example of the performance and design versatility of the Designwall 4000. The sleek, custom gray color of the vertical Designwall 4000 panels complements the facility’s modern design while providing continuous insulation for high thermal efficiency.
The panels, which can be installed by one type of installer rather than multiple trades, also played a key role in meeting the project’s tight construction timeline, allowing the university to open the facility on schedule for the 2023 football season.
With projects across industries like education community spaces and more, Designwall 4000 continues to be the go-to choice for buildings that require both form and function, combining thermal efficiency, robust design flexibility and ease of installation all in one.
